Hello and Welcome to the Computer and Internet Applications in Education’s Special Interest Group Website.

The purpose of the SIG CIAE is to promote research, teaching, and service on the design, evaluation and critical use of computer and Internet applications in education. We strive to be a dynamic group considering the nature of dynamic and ever–changing landscape of educational environments with emerging computer and Internet applications. We are excited to see the potentials of computer and Internet applications in the way we reconsider our current educational practices and design innovative and critical solutions for learners, teachers, and practitioners in educational settings.

Our SIG scope, vision and membership profiles reflect the interest and scholarship in the following themes:

• Evolving contexts in educational technology: Design, integration, and evaluation of educational technology
• The future of hybrid and online education (eg. extreme, adventure, scenario, and game-based learning)
• Affordances of emerging technologies and approaches for the design and evaluation of learning spaces (eg. information visualization tools, online collaborative learning technologies, mobile platforms, learning analytics, cloud computing, usability tools)
• Technology leadership for successful technology integration in education: In-depth studies throughout the world
• Contemporary Issues in computers and Internet applications in education (e. digital literacy, media literacy, privacy, security)

We hope to advance the research and scholarly conversation in CIAE with your contribution and presence in our SIG. If you are our current member, or if you would like to join us, please browse through the SIG’s webpage for more information on how to actively participate to the activities.

Feel free to contact any member of the SIG executive committee, if you have questions.
