Digital Learning and Collaborative Practices offers a comprehensive overview of design-based, technology-enhanced approaches to teaching and learning in virtual settings. Today’s digital communications foster new opportunities for sharing culture and knowledge while also prompting concerns over division, disinformation and surveillance. This book uniquely emphasises playful, collaborative experiences and democratic values in a variety of environments—adaptive, augmented, dialogic, game-based and beyond. Graduate students and researchers of educational technology, the learning sciences and interaction design will discover rich theories, interventions, models and approaches for concretising emerging practices and competencies in digital learning spaces.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of two conferences: The 7th EAI International Conference on ArtsIT, Interactivity and Game Creation (ArtsIT 2018), and the 3rd EAI International Conference on Design, Learning, and Innovation (DLI 2018). Both conferences were hosed in Braga, Portugal, and took place October 24-26, 2018. The 51 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 106 submissions. ArtsIT , Interactivity and Game Creation is meant to be a place where people in arts, with a keen interest in modern IT technologies, meet with people in IT, having strong ties to art in their works. The event also reflects the advances seen in the open related topics Interactivity (Interaction Design, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Robotics) and Game Creation (Gamification, Leisure Gaming, GamePlay). ArtsIT has been successfully co-located with DLI as the design, learning and innovation frame the world of IT, opening doors into an increasingly playful worlds. So the DLI conference is driven by the belief that tools, techniques and environments can spark and nature a passion for learning, transformation domains such as education, rehabilitation/therapy, work places and cultural institutions.

The theme for DLI 2021 was “Shifting boundaries to discover novel ways and emerging technologies to realise human needs, ideas, and desires” targeting a conceptualisation of the effects and impact of digital technologies for, in an inclusive and playful way, fostering human beings to realising their needs, ideas and desires. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 36 submissions and are organized in four thematic sessions on: digital technologies, design and learning; tools and models; artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality in learning; innovative designs and learning.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings the 7th International Conference on Design, Leaning and Innovation, DLI 2022, which took place in Faro, Portugal, in November 21-22, 2022. The 4 revised full papers and 2 short papers presented were carefully selected from 32 submissions on. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Digital Environments and Design Processes Fostering Learning and Interaction, Designs for Innovative Learning with Digital Technology, Digital Approaches Shaping Educational Practices.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th EAI International Conference on Design, Learning, and Innovation, DLI 2023, held in Aalborg, Denmark, during November 6–7, 2023.

The 16 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: innovative approaches to enhancing education and student well-being; innovations in virtual reality (VR) and automated technologies for enhanced user experiences; exploring innovative approaches to learning and design; and innovative learning environments: collaborative approaches and emerging technologies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th EAI International Conference on Design, Learning, and Innovation, DLI 2024, held virtually, during November 7–8, 2024.

The 11 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Using Immersive Technologies for Learning, Accessibility, and Technological Innovation; and Engaging Learners through Gamification, Playful Design, and Generative AI.
