Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Collaborative Learning with Technology—Frontiers and Evidence”, addresses the surge for developments and research related to using technology towards collaborative learning. In an ever-changing world where skills go obsolete in months rather than years, working collaboratively has become a core skill to survive and flourish in the 21st century. There is probably no better way to promote skills in collaboration by learning collaboratively.
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue of Education Sciences welcomes contributions from scholars in the field of education and training in the areas of translation and interpreting. In particular, we welcome contributions which focus on the technological and other present-day challenges that are poised to change the profession of translators and interpreters significantly. It is the role of the academia to prepare its graduates to an efficient integration into the professional world.
We sincerely hope to receive interesting contributions from you.
