Digital technology holds great promise in making education adaptive,
personalized, customizable, and ubiquitously available. To enable it, a new
set of technologies based on Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, and
Natural Language Processing, and new infrastructure platforms, such as
satellite-based Internet, virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain,
are being created, tested, and deployed enabling a new generation of
pervasive applications and systems in education.

This special issue of IEEE Pervasive Computing provides a forum for papers
investigating those new technologies, interaction modalities, and platforms
that enhance and extend human and societal possibilities and experiences in
various educational contexts and scenarios. We invite original and
high-quality submissions addressing:

Theoretical and methodological papers focused on the use of pervasive
technologies in education, including high-quality, comprehensive surveys;
Explorations of novel uses of pervasive technologies in education;
Evolutions and improvements in pervasive technologies used in educational
contexts;
Applications of AI technologies, including Large Language Models, Image
Generators, and similar techniques, in pervasive education applications and
scenarios;
Technologies and experiences of the use of new delivery platforms such as
satellite Internet, blockchain, and VR/AR in all kinds of educational
scenarios;
Testing and evaluation of students and teachers using pervasive
technologies;
Experiences, usecases, and studies about pervasive technologies in
education during the COVID-19 pandemic and similar crisis scenarios;
Research and work that explores fairness and inclusive aspects of the use
of pervasive technologies in education, including vulnerable communities,
minorities, and people with accessibility constraints.


*Submission Guidelines*
Submissions tackling any aspect of this field are welcomed with a clear and
essential connection to pervasive computing. Review or summary articles—for
example, critical evaluations of the state of the art, or an insightful
analysis of established and upcoming technologies—may be accepted if they
demonstrate academic rigour and relevance.

Articles submitted to IEEE Pervasive Computing should not exceed 6,000
words, including all text, abstract, keywords, bibliography, biographies,
and table text. The word count must include 250 words for each table and
figure. References should be limited to at most 20 citations (40 for survey
papers). Authors are encouraged, but not required, to use a template for
submission (accepted articles will ultimately be typeset by magazine staff
for publication).

*Questions?*
