Advances in Information, communication and interactive technology have made
it possible to reach out to a wider audience around the globe. However, the
solutions/systems developed for this purpose are not always satisfactory.

Interactive Technology and Smart Education (ITSE) is a multi-disciplinary,
peer-reviewed journal, which provides a distinct forum to specially promote
innovation and human-/user-centred approaches. This is through a passionate
emphasis on the need to seriously employ solutions from Human Computer
Interaction (HCI) to technology and education.

It also encourages combining solutions from HCI with Artificial Intelligence
(AI) and/or multimedia and the Web technology to advance innovation in
interactive technology generally and its applications in education.

The journal also promotes evaluation as a continuous and an integral part of
the development cycle of usable solutions/systems (rather than a final stage
in the development cycle). By bringing together these specialist fields, the
journal aims to bridge an existing gap in interactive technology and
educational technology research, which would help advance innovation in
these areas.

Contributions are solicited in any of the two main broad themes -
interactive technology and SMART education - covered individually or
combined, include, but are not limited to the following topics:

* Novel approaches
* Participatory approaches for design and development
* Ergonomics and Human factors
* Interaction, usability and accessibility issues
* Approaches providing solutions for users with various special needs
* Related social and psychological issues
* Other cultural issues (e.g. multilingual and multicultural issues)
* Pedagogical methods and quality assurance
* New emerging technologies (e.g. Multimedia and the Web)
* Computer-supported co-operative approaches and Mediated communication
* Assessment and evaluation techniques and methodologies
* Design (e.g. user interface design, types of interfaces, principles of
good design practice)
* Interaction and Interaction Styles
* Usability engineering methods and concepts
* Usability evaluation
