This book contains papers in the fields of collaborative learning, new learning models and applications, project-based learning, game-based education, educational virtual environments, computer-aided language learning (CALL) and teaching best practices.We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education and especially post-secondary education. To face these challenges, higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to these new needs. There is also pressure by the new situation in regard to the Covid pandemic.These were the aims connected with the 23rd International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL2020), which was held online by University of Technology Tallinn, Estonia from 23 to 25 September 2020. Since its beginning in 1998, this conference is devoted to new approaches in learning with a focus on collaborative learning. Nowadays the ICL conferences are a forum of the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in Learning and Engineering Pedagogy. In this way, we try to bridge the gap between ‘pure’ scientific research and the everyday work of educators. Interested readership includes policymakers, academics, educators, researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, school teachers, learning industry, further and continuing education lecturers, etc.

This book is dedicated to the history and contemporary activities of IGIP that occupies a unique position among world organizations who are focused on Engineering Education. We are currently in the process of transforming education at all levels. This applies in particular to the professional and academic education and training of engineers.To face these current real-world challenges, higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to these new needs. This and completely new technologies in education require specifically new and adapted approaches in Engineering Pedagogy.This book is a continuation of IGIP’s tradition to summarize and analyze intermediate results and foresee the main trends of further development of Engineering Pedagogy. It is written for the 50th anniversary of IGIP and contains valuable historic information as well as memories and opinions of IGIP members and specialists in Engineering Pedagogy.This book is intended for teachers at technical colleges and universities, students, post-graduates, administrative staff of educational institutions, staff of state educational ministries and committees, members of other societies with interest in Engineering Education, staff of personnel agencies, and everyone who is interested in Engineering Education and Pedagogy. Interested readership includes furthermore policymakers, academic researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, schoolteachers, the learning industry, further and continuing education lecturers, etc.

This book contains papers in the fields of:Virtual and augmented learning.Games in engineering education.Social aspects of digitalization.Technical teacher training.Accessible learning and technologies.Dance of data in educational science and practice.Engineering education for production and service structures of the future.Innovative approaches to STEAM education and music therapy through emerging technologies.We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education on all levels and especially in post-secondary and higher education. To face these challenges, higher education must find innovative and effective ways to respond in a proper way. Changes have been made in the way we teach and learn, including the massive use of new means of communication, such as videoconferencing and other technological tools.

This book contains papers in the fields of:Green transition in education.New generation of engineering students.Entrepreneurship in engineering education.Open education best practices.Project-based learning (PBL).Teaching best practices.We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education on all levels and especially in post-secondary and higher education. To face these challenges, higher education must find innovative and effective ways to respond in a proper way. Changes have been made in the way we teach and learn, including the massive use of new means of communication, such as videoconferencing and other technological tools.Moreover, the current explosion of artificial intelligence tools is challenging teaching practices maintained for centuries. Scientifically based statements as well as excellent best practice examples are necessary for effective teaching and learning engineering.The 27th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL2024) and 53rd Conference of International Society for Engineering Pedagogy (IGIP), which took place in Tallinn, Estonia, between September 24 and 27, 2024, was the perfect place where current trends in Higher Education were presented and discussed.IGIP conferences have been held since 1972 on research results and best practices in teaching and learning from the point of view of engineering pedagogy science.
