Today's college students have never known a time when personal computers did not exist. They attended K-12 schools where most of their classrooms were equipped with computers. Information technology has always been part of their learning process, not to mention the impact it has had on the development of their friendships, research and writing skills, shopping, and choice of college or university to attend. They expect that institutions of higher education will respond to their inquiries without delay, much in the same way that customer service is handled on the Web. Student expectations are driving the creation of live Web chats, in-house social networking sites, university wiki, and shared virtual spaces. Unfortunately, higher education faculty and staff in general, and student affairs professionals in particular, are behind the curve in their use of information technology. Student affairs professionals are only starting to become aware that they should learn about the technologies that students have already integrated into their lives. It is imperative that student affairs professions understand these technologies and learn how to implement them to enhance student learning build a sense of community increase student engagement facilitate communication This volume examines recent research on how information technology is affecting college student development and explores ways in which institutions are responding to increased demands for using emerging technology in supporting students. This is the 124th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Student Services, an indispensable resource for vice presidents of student affairs, deans of students, student counselors, and other student services professionals.

National Education Policy 2020 states that India is a global leader in information and communication technology and education will play a critical role in this transformation. Technology and education at all levels have a mutually beneficial relationship since technology itself significantly contribute to the enhancement of educational procedures and results.In the field of education, technology is also putting a drastic change and making the way of learning and teaching much easier and more innovative as compare to the olden days. Especially during the time of pandemic, technology played a very crucial role in the field of education. It makes people aware about the technical world. The first education policy of the twenty-first century, National Education Policy 2020 attempts to address the many expanding experimental imperatives facing our nation. In order to create a new system that is in line with the ambitious goals of 21st-century education, including SDG4, while building upon India's traditions and value systems, this policy suggests changing and remodelling every element of the educational structure, including its regulation and governance. The National Education Policy lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potentiality of each person. One of the endless tasks of the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF) will be to classify imperative technologies grounded on their implicit and estimated timeframe for dislocation, and to periodically present this analysis to MHRD. MHRD will formally identify those technologies whose emergence necessitates reactions from the educational system based on these inputs. Keeping in mind the recommendations of NEP 2020, this book is the attempt to highlight the new emerging technologies of the 21st century which help the teacher and the students to understand the concept and importance of these emerging technologies. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the emergence and evolution of new technologies in the field of education to enhance learning. It consists of 11 chapters which includes Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - provide predictive analytics and individualized learning experiences and have the potential to completely transform the education industry. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality -these two cutting-edge technologies provide immersive and interactive learning experiences and are becoming more and more popular in the educational sector. Data Analytics or Learning Analytics -with its ability to provide insights on student performance, engagement, and learning outcomes, data analytics is becoming more and more significant in the educational field. By analysing data from different sources, educators can identify trends, predict student success, and implement evidence-based strategies to improve teaching and learning. Microlearning and Mobile Learning -they represent a paradigm shift in the Indian educational framework. They align with the national goals of digital India and education for all, promoting a more democratized, flexible, and learner-centric approach to education. Internet of Things (IoT) - often termed as "Smart Education," encompasses a wide array of applications that transcend traditional learning methodologies. It aims to transcend traditional boundaries, enabling a seamless blend of physical and digital learning spaces, which is especially pivotal in a country marked by diverse socio-economic and geographical landscapes. Gamification and Game-Based Learning - with their inclusive and adaptable nature, offer a more personalized and engaging learning experience. This is particularly relevant in a country like India, where digital access and literacy are on the rise, paving the way for digital learning solutions to make a substantial impact. Electronic and interactive textbooks - these digital resources have revolutionized the way educators teach and students learn, offering dynamic content that goes beyond the static pages of traditional textbooks. Active and Collaborative Learning - in the realm of education, active learning is not just a methodology but a paradigm shifts that champions student engagement as the cornerstone of effective learning. This approach, significantly beneficial in the Indian context, challenges students to interact with the material, engage in higher-order thinking, and apply knowledge in varied scenarios. It's an approach that transforms classrooms from silent note-taking environments to vibrant interactive spaces where students question, discuss, and explore subjects deeply. This book examines the current state of these new technologies from several educational perspectives, highlights some of them, and discusses both their established and potential educational benefits. In addition, it provides an in-depth discussion of recent developments and future challenges from many different perspectives. This book is an informative resource for scholars, policymakers and researchers in pedagogy, educational technology, digital learning, communication and education research. The book content equips educators at all levels with essential information required to adapt to emerging technologies in order to improve teaching, student support and learning outcomes.

Internationally, there is a growing body of research about learners’ responses to, and uses of, emerging technologies. However, the adoption of these technologies in teachers’ professional development is still largely under-researched. Much of the existing literature still positions teachers as playing ‘catch-up’ in terms of using technology for teaching and learning in an ever expanding and changing world, and ignores the roles that these emerging technologies can play in teacher, and teacher educator, development and learning. This book aims to address the lack of research in the area, and it contributes to the new knowledge area of how emerging technologies can effectively address professional learning, drawing on case studies and perspectives from across the world. Contributors use a wide variety of approaches to analyse the potential for emerging (and established) technologies, including digital, Web2.0, social media, and IT tools, to develop ‘effective’ or ‘deep’ professional learning for pre- and in-service teachers and teacher educators. This book was originally published as a special issue of Professional Development in Education.
