This book uncovers the crucial issues in learning technologies in this digital transformation moment, specifically within the COVID-19 umbrella effects. Remote learning, educational technologies, or distance learning are usually used topics by teachers, students, and researchers because the educational context should be transformed and even reinvented itself drastically. Technologies have been used more intensively in the last year than during the last decade. However, what is the effect of these "new" technologies on the teaching and learning methodologies? Are teachers and students fully digital competent to integrate these technologies in their teaching and learning activities? In this book, the authors claim to go forward that the online teaching conception to replicate the face-to-face teaching through a camera. They propose adapting the active methodologies to the online or hybrid context, which is a challenge that must be corroborated with rigorous educational research.

This book delves into the dynamic relationship between open education and artificial intelligence (AI), providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of how AI transforms educational models and practices. The book brings together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of open education, AI, and pedagogy to present research, case studies, and theoretical discussions on applying AI-driven technologies within Open Educational Practices (OEPs). It enables readers to obtain a well-rounded understanding of how AI shapes open education and its potential for transforming learning experiences. Educators and instructional designers will gain insights into integrating AI with open pedagogical practices, while researchers will find new theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence to build upon. Policymakers and administrators will benefit from strategic recommendations on leveraging AI to promote inclusive and sustainable open education initiatives. By offering a holistic view of AI’s role in OEPs, this book serves as a foundational reference for readers seeking to harness the power of AI to create more accessible, equitable, and engaging learning environments in the digital age.

This book provides a critical overview of the current use of learning technologies for educational innovation and examines global trends in educational innovation. It also shares experiences in educational innovation with learning technologies in Europe and Latin America.
