Written in the global context of urgent challenges such as educational inequality, teacher and learner well-being, as well as the need for more effective classroom practices, this timely volume argues that only through equal and mutually beneficial relationships between researchers and practitioners can we sustainably and meaningfully address these issues.Combining theoretical insights with rich case studies from Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania, this book offers concrete design principles and policy strategies for building equitable, collaborative partnerships. Through this discussion, the chapters in this volume explore diverse forms of collaboration emerging in different national and institutional contexts. Using empirically grounded accounts, conceptual analyses, and practical reflections, the volume sheds light on key questions surrounding research-practice partnerships (RPPs), including what the mechanisms are of satisfactorily functioning partnerships, what conditions are required for them to work well, and how they can become integrated into normal everyday work in education.Highlighting the complexity of these collaborative arrangements and the conditions required for them to function productively, this book is a vital resource for researchers, academics, and practitioners in the fields of teaching and learning, future of education, inclusive education, classroom practice, and educational policy.

The purpose of this book is to describe the approach and process involved in a program designed to assist faculty in acquiring technology skills and to apply these skills in constructing meaningful learning-centered applications. Most educators will agree that the challenge of developing faculty technology expertise is a major and crucial one for colleges and universities. As early as 1988 it became apparent that teachers were not prepared to use new technologies coming into their classrooms (OTA, 1988). This book is intended for educators who are working to lead the meaningful integration of technology into higher education and K–12 environments. The detailed stories provide useful knowledge and background for K–12 educators, higher education educators, and trainers in business and industry who are faced with the challenge of helping people learn to use technology effectively.
