According to European Commission communiques (Opening up Education: Innovative teaching and learning for all through new Technologies and Open Educational Resources, 2013; Europe 2020, 2010; Taking stock of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, 2014), scientists (Tilbury, 2011; Tilbury, & Mula, 2009; Pipere, Salite, & Veisson, 2015) works, there is emphasizing the key point of sustainability in education. Sustainable development few last decades remain that supporting category upon which is tried to analyse and understand the dynamics of difficult systems or procedures, estimate their problems of interactions, compatibility and other. One of the most relevant branches of development in education in National education strategy 2013–2022 (2013) is directed to quality of education. Its main strategic purpose – to turn Lithuanian education into sustainable basis for improving national welfare, for thrusting and independent person who responsibly and independently creates his, countries and worlds future. Until now the key and expression of sustainability is more emphasizing through global cultural characteristics. This article aims to emphasize multicultural characteristics, to individualize the expression of sustainability more in prof. B. Bitinas work contexts. Using thematic synthesis enhanced review method in B. Bitinas works it is emphasized those principles of sustainability which are considered as new paradigm which changes the view to learning and education phenomena: open integrality (open and integral teaching and learning environment: learning for everyone, everywhere, anytime, with any measures and with any help. That helps to ensure teaching and learning efficiency and helps to gain new abilities), succession and continuance (as condition of change), technological approach (creating ability to raise efficiency and justice), dialogue (as interaction, responsibility as assumption to create teaching and learning meanings in society of diversity).

The laboratory is an essential element in the teaching and learning of chemistry, but it is challenging to provide this when delivering courses and programs online or at a distance. Studies have repeatedly shown that alternate laboratory modes can lead to equivalent student performance when compared with in-person experiences. In this literature review, we will examine five modes of laboratory delivery (i.e. face-to-face, virtual, remote control, home-study kits and, to a lesser extent self-guided field trips) that may be considered in providing quality practical laboratory activities to support online studies. Each mode brings its own particular strengths and weaknesses and can be used individually or in combination. The selection and integration of those modes, which is driven by learning outcomes and other factors, will be examined as part of the design process. Finally, future laboratory design will certainly include new technologies, but potentially also elements like open educational resources, learning analytics, universal design, and citizen science.


Nowadays, in the digital age, automated software with machine learning and artificial intelligence is widely used in both business and everyday life, therefore it has to be used in education and achieving of its sustainability. The young generation makes extensive use of a wide range of software, so teaching with an auto-mated tool would be very attractive for students, but there is a need to increase teachers' digital skills and com-petencies. When studying entrepreneurship, students prefer innovative, practical teaching methods, involving automatic tools for validation of business idea feasibility.The aim of the study is to identify multidisciplinary and innovative educational approaches and techniques in entrepreneurship, containing training that uses automated software to test and improve the viability of students' business ideas.The authors followed the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy and the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan. Digitalization creates and will create more and more possibilities in future to use automatic digital tools in edu-cation and solutions in form of artificial intelligence that might be scalable and widely applied for the distance learning as evidenced by the crisis caused by COVID-19.The research is based on existing researches and comparative analysis of teaching entrepreneurship, statistical data analysis and survey conducted by authors. Discussion on and identification of innovative learning and teach-ing techniques in entrepreneurship education is also included.

Purpose – Purpose: As collection development in research libraries becomes increasingly homogeneous and “e-preferred”, it is our heritage collections that differentiate us and anchor the physical presence of our institutions. These valuable heritage resources, vital for teaching, researching, and learning are unfortunately too often inaccessible, uncatalogued, and ultimately undiscoverable. This paper focuses on the curation of special collections as a means of exposing hidden collections and discusses practical steps undertaken to highlight unique print materials in the digital age. Design/methodology/approach – This case study describes the transformation of a hidden collection into a teaching collection through the exhibition of uncatalogued Islamic manuscripts, their associated digital component and the resulting faculty–librarian collaboration. Findings – By sharing print collections through exhibitions with an associated digital component, we are both increasing the visibility of, and improving access to the material. Originality/value – This case study outlines a successful approach to exposing hidden collections to support an innovative teaching and learning environment.

School of nature is one of the new concepts in the world of education. The natural school is basically an alternative form of education that uses the universe as a place of learning, teaching material and also as an object of learning. According to some experts, it is believed that this concept is an effective approach for the realization of activities related to active learning. The aims of this research are to investigate how the management of natural schools works, specifically in planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. This study utilized qualitative method with a case study approach. The data were collected by semi structure interview, observation and documentation. The data were then analyzed, described, and interpreted comprehensively. The data revealed  that character education and religion are emphasized to the students in teaching and learning process. There are 3 curriculum adopted in the management of this natural school, namely: Curriculum implemented by the national Education Office, IT (Islam terpadu) curriculum, and BBA curriculum (learning with nature). It was agreed to create an academic student and balanced character.

This chapter is not on the technology of Virtual Worlds. The authors discuss the application of a Virtual World as a teaching and learning environment for a course on Virtual Worlds. In their view, innovation and education should go hand in hand. Too often, new technologies are discussed without being applied. The authors argue that innovative technologies do belong in those classroom where their application is relevant to the topic. In thischapter, the authors discuss an example of how this issue can be tackled. They show that application of innovative tools is useful to all parties: students, lecturers and researchers, even if it raises new problems from which we all can learn.

This chapter introduces a model of technology-infused literacy instruction that implements a constructivist approach to teaching and learning that defines a new paradigm for the classroom of the twenty-first century. It argues that in the face of the constant change process that is redefining literacy instruction today, it will be necessary to rethink our curriculum and redesign our instruction to infuse new technologies. In this new paradigm it will be necessary to not only ask different questions, but also to redefine the context in which the questions are posed. Students learning must focus on exploration, investigation, paradoxes, and inquiries. We must teach students to start their inquiries with “essential questions” in mind, and to seek not answers but rather new questions, new theories, and new ideas. The technologies of literacy in the future will need to function as cognitive tools that guide students in the generation of the concentric circles of lifelong learning.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, low competitiveness of the economy and the deepening gap relative to the world’s economic powers was the key problem of the European Community. Also, weak innovativeness of the economy, underdeveloped R&D sector with inefficiency of public policy are seen as leading EU challenges These problems have become the basis for criticism of current innovation policy and the search for new methods, tools, and development trajectories. The answer to these challenges is the concept of smart regional specializations proposed along with a new vision of the development of the EU’s, known as Europe 2020 Strategy. Smart specialization is a new paradigm for building competitive advantage of regions. It is also a new way of regional innovation policy, aiming to eliminate barriers and failures in building innovation capacity of regions. The purpose of this article is to show the essence of the concept of regional smart specializations. Article identifies the theoretical assumptions and describes the key elements of this new approach. It exposes the novelty of the concept and identifies the challenges of its implementation.
