How to utilize digital technology to engage learners in deep learning is an issue that warrants significant attention in 21st century education. Deep learning refers to learners’ engagement in critical and creative thinking, making inferences and transferring knowledge. Modern technologies like virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and 3D visualization provide the platform for deep learning in an educational setting more effectively. This book presents a collection of essays on the relationship between digital technologies and deep learning. The edited volume focuses on cognitive, metacognitive and affective processes in digital technology-based deep learning.

A unique feature of the book is its emphasis on bridging the theories with practice where the practice of deep learning with digital technology is well-grounded in relevant theories and theoretical frameworks. Moreover, the book includes case studies to effectively promote the application of digital technology in deep learning. As such, the book is rightly poised to address current issues facing deep learning and digital technology in education. The audience will find this book a useful companion as they will soon discover that this book provides helpful information on both theoretical and practical aspects in deep learning with digital technology. It also serves as an excellent resource for researchers and individual professionals who seek to understand the relationship between deep learning and digital technology in education.

Reviews

“This book covers a cutting edge topic in education with strong theoretical ties to work in cognition, metacognition, and emotion, with chapters written by leading researchers in the field. Researchers and practitioners interested in the impact of digital technologies in learning will find this volume to be informative, comprehensive, and thought-provoking.” –  Anne E. Cook, Professor and Chair, Educational Psychology Department, Director for Student and Faculty Affairs, College of Education, University of Utah, USA

“This edited book provides excellent resources for researchers and academic professionals about the connections between deep learning (involving critical and creative thinking, reasoning performance, making inferences and knowledge transfer) and the use of digital technologies (such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, 3D visualization, e-portfolios, and a network-based approach). Authors examine theories relevant to deep learning and provide research results regarding the cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies, self-regulated learning, reasoning performance, along with many other themes. This book offers the valuable support to graduate students and teachers aiming at their professional development, and a must for a library.” –  Anna Ursyn, Professor of Digital Media Digital Media Area Head, School of Art and Design, College of Performing and Visual Arts, University of Northern Colorado, USA

““Deep learning” is the holy grail of teaching and learning, particularly for the solving of complicated and real-world challenges. The editor defines deep learning as “learners’ engagement in critical and creative thinking, making inferences and transferring knowledge” (Zheng, 2018, p. xiii). While defined in different ways, “deep learning” involves complex understandings of the target subject domain (and related areas) that are transferable and that enable real-life problem solving and innovating in various contexts.” <a href=”http://scalar.usc.edu/works/c2c-digital-magazine-fall-2018–winter-2019/book-review–achieving-deep-learning-through-digital-technology” target=”_blank”>READ MORE… –  Reviewed by Shalin Hai-Jew, instructional designer at Kansas State University, USA.
