This book presents concise definitions and illustrative contexts for many approaches, ideas, and paradigms related to digital education. Unlike existing glossaries that often focus solely on technical terminology, this resource uniquely integrates pedagogical, technological, and socio-cultural perspectives. It not only defines terms but also critically examines their implications for teaching and learning, providing a more holistic understanding of digital education.
