*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
More than 20 years ago, it was argued that the use/integration of 
learning technologies for education in the coming decades would likely 
be less of a consequence of technological limitations than a result of 
limited human imagination combined with the constraints of old habits 
and social structures. However, over the last years, the rapid adoption 
of laptops, smartphones, tablet computers, and micro-controller kits in 
schools have reignited imaginations and are changing social habits and 
practices. Especially, novel practice-based learning and open-ended 
activities with a focus on Science, Technology, Art, Math and 
Engineering (STEAM) are starting to emerge, thus providing new 
opportunities for exploring and learning in these fields.

These digital ICT tools are introducing change into education landscape 
at many levels and in diverse ways; moreover, these processes can 
metaphorically be seen as a complex ecosystem on the verge of multiple 
transformations. The ideas and new learning conditions described above 
pose us with a number of challenging questions, as enumerated below; How 
do teachers and learners interact in these learning environments and 
which new interaction patterns and group dynamics emerge? How teacher 
and student roles are being redefined and what tools and processes can 
support them? How does peer collaboration unfold and how can 
collaboration be supported? How do students relate to the learning 
material and construct knowledge, and how do teachers organise new ways 
of teaching and assessment? Furthermore, how can we design physical 
spaces to reflect and to take advantages of these transformations?
These questions present researchers, designers, practitioners, and 
learners with new opportunities that need to be better understood and 
leveraged. This special issue aims at shedding light on the different 
emerging transformations of educational practices brought about by the 
introduction of digital tools with a focus on STEAM.
