Springer has published the 2024 Yearbook of Emerging Technologies in Learning, a comprehensive volume bringing together international perspectives on how technology is reshaping education. This special edition is edited by Prof. Dr. h.c. (mult.) Michael E. Auer, Founding President and CEO of IAOE, alongside Prof. Dr. Dominik May, President of IAOE. It appears as Volume 44 in Springer’s Learning and Analytics in Intelligent Systems (LAIS) series.
The yearbook explores some of the most pressing topics in education today, including:
-
Generative AI in Higher Education – examining opportunities, risks, and first empirical findings on AI-generated content in teaching and learning.
-
Remote, Virtual, and Hybrid Instruction – highlighting advances that expand teaching beyond traditional classroom boundaries.
-
Pedagogical Innovation and Research – showcasing new approaches to course design, open education, and professional training.
With contributions from leading researchers worldwide, the book serves as both a research reference and a practical guide for educators, administrators, and EdTech professionals. The collected chapters address the disruptive impact of emerging technologies, but also their potential to enhance access, personalization, and innovation in learning.
Representative contributions include early results from pilots of AI-driven education, studies on MOOCs for professional training, and case reports on hybrid teaching models. These insights are particularly relevant as higher education institutions navigate rapid digital transformation.
The 2024 Yearbook of Emerging Technologies in Learning starts a tradition of annual publications in this field and underscores IAOE’s commitment to advancing scholarship and knowledge exchange around innovative technologies for education. The fact that both editors serve in the leadership of IAOE further highlights the association’s central role in shaping global discourse on emerging technologies in learning.
Additionally, a 2025 edition of the Yearbook is already underway, under development in collaboration with Springer, continuing the annual series in the LAIS collection
