New technologies produces a substantial and complex effect in a wide range of different areas, such as educational, social, educational, entertainment. The purpose of this Series is to explore the relationship between technology and formal and informal learning from a cultural history, socio-constructivist and multidisciplinary perspective (psychological, social, educational, aesthetic, artistic, political, economic).
Therefore, the starting assumptions are: a) the role of context, seen as rooted in technology; b) technology as instruments of cultural mediation and construction of knowledge.
The Series aims to host monographs, receiverships, and Italian translations of foreign books of particular relevance in the international scene. Therefore, it will include handbooks, researches, analysis and dissemination focused on the role of technologies in educational contexts.
Proposals for publication should be sent to:
