Collectively, the articles highlight diverse and innovative approaches in educational media and technology, ranging from the use of virtual reality in peace education and environmental learning to strategies for facilitating online discussion and promoting engagement in robot programming among young women. 

Prominent themes include innovative technological applications such as metaverse environments for distance learning, mobile learning tools in professional education, and the integration of synthetic speech in corporate training.

We continue to welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners worldwide, and particularly encourage contributions from diverse geographical regions in order to further enrich our international scholarly dialogue.
