Teaching and Learning Online – Volume 3
Call for papers for Volume 3 of Teaching and Learning Online to be published by Routledge / Taylor and Francis in late 2027.
Closing date for initial expressions of interest Tuesday30 June 2026 12 midnight BST.
Background
It is now a little over 10 years since Volume 2 of Teaching and Learning Online; New Models of Learning for a Connected World hit the bookshelves published by Routledge.
Things have moved on considerably in the last decade and we are now looking to pull together a completely new suite of essays and case studies that reflect the new social and technological reality where ai is likely to transform the roles of knowledge workers. In a world where ai supplements or replaces many current knowledge capabilities the ‘Human Edge’ will become increasingly important. We want to explore a paradigm shift that moves us away from an online pedagogy of content creation and delivery to one primarily focused on the promotion of higher order thinking skills, critical thinking, engaging with complexity, empathy and ethical dimensions of human interactions. Decision making under conditions of uncertainty, operating with incomplete, ambiguous or contradictory information and making value-based judgements – these are areas where humans still hold an advantage over ai. These are the attributes that will allow adult learners to thrive as jobs and careers transition. Given the scale and urgency of this upskilling requirement and the fact that most of the people who need this are already in the workplace it seems to us that Online and Blended learning solutions are likely to provide the most viable and scalable opportunities.
Volume 3 seeks to explore our understanding of the way adults learn both individually and collectively and how existing approaches need to be transformed as we let go of what is easy for educators to achieve (develop and deliver content) and focus instead on what educators have traditional found almost impossible to develop at scale – ie the spark, imagination, creativity and value based criticality that adds up to the Human Edge. We see this as the new horizon for Online Learning. Every knowledge worker who is currently in the workplace needs educators and the online learning industry to step up to this challenge. These higher order thinking skills will no longer be the province of senior leaders or doctoral students – everyone who seeks to make a contribution to society in the coming decades will need these skills and will need to continuously practice and hone them. That is why we are calling this new collection of essays –
Teaching and Learning Online, Volume 3: Lifelong Learning in the Stream of Living
Call for contributors
We are looking to collect a series of short essays (6 to 8k words) for research papers by academics, (4 to 6k words) for case studies by practitioners, designers, L&D leaders and education strategists who are currently engaged in defining, creating and delivering the above human capabilities mediated through the world of on-line learning. Whilst technology, particularly ai is the stimulus that is shifting the tectonic plates of education our intent is still very firmly to maintain the core theme of the articulation and development of the learning theory and strategy that underpins all the examples.
Shaping your proposed contribution
This Volume seeks to explore the following big questions:
- How can we reimagine our approach to developing skills and knowledge as we shift the paradigm from content delivery to the development and nurturing of higher order thinking and human engagement capabilities that can be deployed in any sphere of activity?
- In an increasingly ai dominated world of work what are the similarities and differences between processes of ‘machine learning’ and ‘human learning’? How do we strike a balance that produces the best human outcomes?
- How can ai be deployed to scale the availability of high-quality individual and group coaching and mentoring in the development of higher order human thinking and ethical decision-making capabilities?
- How can we deploy emerging technologies at scale to widen adult access to learning enrichment and reskilling for those currently in the workplace as they transition into emerging jobs and roles that currently cannot be imagined?
Your proposal must specifically address one or more of these questions and be supported by academic or practitioner research and ideally point to ongoing practical examples and case studies that can act as exemplars to shape adult learning over the coming decade. Submissions should examine the ethical dimensions and potential human consequences of the approaches and strategies under discussion. Consideration should also be given to the applicability of proposed solutions across diverse cultural settings.

How Can the World Wide Web Help You?
An Overseas Property Market example
[ Note – since the writing of this blog YouTube no longer has a direct web video recording feature. You will need to record your video with your mobile phone or digital video camera and then upload the file. ]
By Dr. Anthony ‘Skip’ Basiel abasiel@gmail.com https://abasiel.wordpress.com
Since the birth of the World Wide Web over 15 years ago there has been a huge shift in the way people use the internet. We are moving from the Web as the world’s greatest repository of information to an interactive, engaging multimedia space for professional networking. So, how can this help you in the overseas property market? In this article we will explore some of the strategies, online tools and ‘tricks of the eMarketing trade’ that can:
Get you noticed on the Web
Get clients coming back for more
Exchange information and ideas
Build an online community to expand your professional social network
In the early days ‘content was king’ – or ‘sticky content’ was even better. This meant that you had something on your website that would draw the visitors back time and again. It was believed that the ‘more hits the better’. To get that return audience you needed to have a dynamic, ever changing ‘story’ to tell your reader. This meant that you may have done a few things that would keep their interest:
Use SEO (search engine optimisation) techniques to get good search results. Some examples of this can be to add web links to other websites and they link to yours, get Google Add Words, put meta-tag descriptions in the HTML code, etc.
Update the text regularly. (There is nothing worse than a website that has at the bottom of the page: ‘Last updated: several years ago.’). It feels like a dusty old book shelf that no one has disturbed in years.
New media news letters can keep your clients and visitors up to speed on changes in the business. Adobe PDF files can now embed text, graphics, animations and more.
Another growing change is in the sales approach that new Web technologies can provide. More people are shifting from a top-down sales message to a bottom-up style. Rather than getting the word about your product or service from a sales representative you get your satisfied customers to promote you. This ‘peer-to-peer’ marketing design is easily seen in testimonials or case studies from successful experiences of the client.
Testimonials and video case studies
New media technologies now make it easy to capture and share the stories of your satisfied customers. With a mobile phone you can quickly get a photo to personalise the contribution. Digital audio can be recorded and linked to an image so the visitor can hear satisfied customers’ experiences in their own words.
Web video has never been easier. All you need is an inexpensive web cam and a YouTube account. Here is how it works:
Go to http://www.youtube.com/ and create an account
1) In the top right menu click ‘Upload’
2) Click ‘Record from webcam’ in the middle-left of the page.
(In the figure below number [3] gives you the ability to promote your Web video through social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter. )
3) Now you will be able to see yourself on the screen.
Note: You may need to click ‘Allow’ to use the Flash Player.
4) Next click the ‘Ready to Record’ button in the middle of the video.
5) When finished click the ‘Red Square’ on the bottom left of the video.
6) All done? You have 3 options: Preview, Publish or Re-record.
7) If you are satisfied click the ‘Publish’ button to make your video open to the pubic to view your video.
8) In the new screen you have many options to give your video a profile. When you are finished just click the ‘Save Changes’ button on the top left of the screen.
9) Click ‘View on video page’ to see the final version. You can copy the web address in the Web browser to add the link to an email or Web page. Alternatively, you can click the ‘Embed’ button below the video to get the code to insert the video into your website.
It is great to get the audience involved too. You can allow viewers to comment and rate the video. This can be a great way to introduce yourself or your company to possible clients around the neighbourhood or across the country, even the other side of the world in a personalised media format.
Exchange ideas and info
There are many websites now that can help you promote your business through the exchange of ideas, information, common interests, etc. Blogs and Wikis help get the interactivity you may need to really get clients to engage with you and your business. Have a look at sites such as www.wordpress.com and www.twitter.com .
If you are looking to have a one-to-one web video conference there are many choices from Google, Skype and Adobe (http://acrobat.com) for free. This is a great way to see your clients and talk with them without the cost of a phone call. Some other features allow you to:
share your computer screen
use real-time text chat
use a white board drawing tool
share files
Develop communities and professional social networks
One of the growing trends over the past few years is getting people together with like interests online. These virtual communities have flourished into professional social networks where online groups can help each others business. One good example of this is www.linkedin.com .
Another example of an open source (free software licence) online community is Emerald InTouch at:
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/products/intouch/index.htm
You can get a free account at: http://intouch.emeraldinsight.com/
This online community boasts some impressive features such as:
Wikis, Blogs, RSS feeds
Community groups with control over the membership
Personal professional profiles using ‘tags’ which help you search for community members
User ‘tag clouds’ ( a great way to see what topics of interest are in the community)
Before you go
So, now you have had a taste of what the Web can do for you and your company. Don’t be shy. Get your website design to go beyond static text and graphics. Join us in the interactive, engaging and collaborative virtual world that the Web has to offer. Let’s see your business get connected.
