This bookconstitutes extended papers from the Second International Conference onTechnology in Education, ICTE 2015, held in Hong Kong, China, in July 2015.

The 26 fullpapers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: technology-enabledlearning; mobile learning and ubiquitous learning; open learning and onlinelearning; institutional strategies, policies and practices; and learningplatforms and advising systems. 

In this book, we put forward a holistic conceptual framework for implementing Scholarship of Learning and Teaching (SoLT) in higher education. Unlike previous SoLT studies, which usually focus on a specific aspect, here various aspects are integrated into a holistic framework. Further, it identifies three main stakeholders, namely, the higher education institution, teaching staff, and students. These stakeholders are in turn connected by four interlocking themes: staff professional development, enhancement of student learning experiences, assessment, and digital technologies. 

Presenting chapters that address these four themes, this book supports the advancement of SoLT in higher education in relation to existing theories and emerging practices. By helping academics and leaders in higher education to implement SoLT for the improvement of student learning and teaching practices, it also makes a valuable contribution to the field of teacher education.
