Today, online technologies are at the core of most fields of engineering and society as a whole . This book discusses the fundamentals, applications and lessons learned in the field of online and remote engineering, virtual instrumentation, and other related technologies like Cross Reality, Data Science & Big Data, Internet of Things & Industrial Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Cyber Security, and M2M & Smart Objects.Since the first Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV) conference in 2004, the event has focused on the use of the Internet for engineering tasks, as well as the related opportunities and challenges. In a globally connected world, interest in online collaboration, teleworking, remote services, and other digital working environments is rapidly increasing. In this context, the REV conferences discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of Online and Remote Engineering as well as Virtual Instrumentation. Furthermore, the conferences focus on guidelines and new concepts for engineering education in higher and vocational education institutions, including emerging technologies in learning, MOOCs & MOOLs, and open resources.This book presents the proceedings of REV2020 on “Cross Reality and Data Science in Engineering” which was held as the 17th in series of annual events. It was organized in cooperation with the Engineering Education Transformations Institute and the Georgia Informatics Institutes for Research and Education and was held at the College of Engineering at the University of Georgia in Athens (GA), USA, from February 26 to 28, 2020.

Education has always been one of the cornerstones for societal evolution and economic growth. We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education and especially post-secondary education.The use of technology impacts the way educational content is presented and acquired in many areas. The designs of immersive educational worlds and the combination of rational and emotional educational experiences that cannot be designed in the same way in the traditional classroom will come increasingly into focus.Seen in this way the book also contributes to generalize the experience of the COVID-19 crisis and its impact to quality of learning and education.Scientifically based statements as well as excellent experiences (best practice) are necessary. This book contains scientific papers in the fields of: The future of learning Eruptive technologies in learningPedagogy of online learning Deep learning vs machine learning: opportunities and challengesReimagining and rapid transition of learningInterested readership includes policymakers, academics, educators, researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, schoolteachers, learning industry, further and continuing education lecturers, etc.

The “International Conference on Smart Technologies & Education” (STE) is an annual global meeting dedicated to the fundamentals, applications, and experiences in the field of Smart Technologies, Online, Remote, and Virtual Engineering, Virtual Instrumentation, and other related new technologies.

The “International Conference on Smart Technologies & Education” (STE) is an annual global meeting dedicated to the fundamentals, applications, and experiences in the field of Smart Technologies, Online, Remote, and Virtual Engineering, Virtual Instrumentation, and other related new technologies.

This comprehensive book, divided into seven sections, showcases groundbreaking research findings that blend new experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic with long-term research on online laboratories and virtual experimentation.

This book brings together global scholars to examine critical developments in education, from the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various educational contexts to the evolving relationship between on-campus, remote, and hybrid learning and the rise of digitally native learners. As educational paradigms shift rapidly in response to globalization, digitization, and technological advances, this book provides a timely exploration of the future of higher education.Organized into three sections, the book delves into:Generative AI in Higher Education—Unpacking the transformative potential and challenges of AI tools in teaching and learning.Remote, Virtual, and Hybrid Teaching in Higher Education—Exploring innovative teaching modalities that redefine classroom boundaries.Educational Research and Emerging Pedagogical Trends in Higher Education—Highlighting cutting-edge research that addresses the evolving demands of modern learners.For educators, researchers, and EdTech professionals, this yearbook serves as an essential resource to stay ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of technology-enhanced learning.

The International Conference on Smart Technologies & Education (STE) brings together a global community of researchers, educators, and innovators at the intersection of emerging technologies and engineering education. The 2025 edition, held in Santiago, Chile, marked a milestone as the conference’s first presence in Latin America—a region rapidly advancing in digital transformation and sustainability.Under the theme “Smart Technologies for an All-Electric Society,” STE2025 explored the role of intelligent systems, green energy, and digital tools in shaping the future of learning, industry, and society. More than 100 participants from over 40 countries contributed to a rich exchange across topics such as remote and virtual laboratories, cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence in education, cross-reality environments, digital twins, and smart infrastructure.This volume presents a selection of peer-reviewed contributions that emerged from the conference's vibrant discussions and interdisciplinary sessions. Readers will find insights into both technical innovations and forward-thinking educational strategies, making this collection valuable for academics, practitioners, and policy makers alike.Whether your interest lies in the design of scalable learning technologies, the implementation of smart systems, or the transformation of engineering curricula, this book offers a timely and global perspective on the tools and ideas that are shaping tomorrow’s technological landscape.
