International Perspectives in Education and Communication

Abstract

Rapid technological development, the increasing need for sustainability standards and actions, combined with the constant rise of artificial intelligence (AI), impact all industries and workplaces, including the education sector (Tettamanzi et al., 2023). Our ‘new normal’, after the COVID-19 pandemic, precipitated educators to implement changes to their teaching in order to help them provide an effective educational learning experience (Tettamanzi et al., 2023), hence making it crucial to redefine our approaches, plan, innovate and readjust to all the novel needs. The four research papers of this issue discuss ways in which education professionals and beyond innovate and adapt to a ‘new normal’.
