Educational technology is contributing towards diversity awareness as it allows you to create more personalized and student-centered learning situations. This chapter addresses specific learning difficulties (SpLD) and, specifically, dyslexia, since it is one of the most prevalent challenges in the educational field. Information and communication technologies allow direct intervention with students who have special educational needs as an alternative to traditional resources, which is much more motivating. In this sense, as an example, various projects and applications are presented that allow working on this type of difficulties with students. This chapter highlights the virtual reality and augmented reality software carried out in the context of the European Erasmus + FORDYSVAR project, of which the authors are part.

E Learning

The need to integrate multimedia in the process of teaching and learning at all levels of education is becoming more vital. Multimedia based on e-learning is seen as an effective alternative in teaching and learning process. This method is able to create a student-centered learning where students are encouraged of being independence; study at their own pace and at their own place. Nevertheless, the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in today's world has necessitate a new trend in the presentation of information in the form of Flash Video, which is more easy to understand and accessible instantly to users. The research is undertaken by introducing an e-based multimedia content by maintaining the concept of Gagne Learning Theory. An e-material entitled "Introduction to Computer Programming C++" has been developed containing learning activities that allow users to interact simultaneously with the material. The material is expected to be an effective teaching aid to entice students in the subject of programming.

Today, more than ever, the role of educational technology in teaching is of great importance because of the use of information and communication technologies. With the help of various applications for distance education, the Internet, teachers, and students themselves, they see the advantage of educational technology. The question is whether schools and teachers themselves are ready for the use of technology in education and whether they are aware of its benefits? In this paper, we try to give an overview of the importance and use of educational technology in the classroom.

Religious Reasons

Pilgrimages and travel for other religious reasons are two of the major drivers of human mobility. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to sharing knowledge about religious heritage with tourists, residents, and religious communities. ICT innovations that help individuals find information and acquire knowledge about cultural heritage can bring new experiences and sensations to tourists and residents, in general, and to those who have accessibility problems, in particular. These innovations include augmented reality, location-based services, social networks, gamification, and intelligent interfaces. This paper focuses on religious and spiritual routes and itineraries, presenting a religious tourism experience model that allows tourists to acquire additional knowledge about cultural and religious heritage, based on technological architecture using intelligent human-computer interactions displayed on personal mobile devices. This approach expands personal and spiritual experiences when travelers visit religious heritage sites associated with itineraries.

The Impact

The use of mobile devices in classrooms is becoming more and more common. The introduction of these resources to produce learning is part of the mobile learning methodology. Among the possibilities of these devices provide we can find, as an emerging technology, augmented reality, which combines elements of the real world with virtual images. The purpose of this paper is to know the impact of the augmented reality in the educational cooperatives of Andalusia. In this regard, educational cooperatives are centers characterized in their origin by promoting the development of methodologies based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The data collection instrument used in this questionnaire is a quantitative methodology of a descriptive nature. The questionnaire was prepared ad hoc according to the existing literature and the answers coded on a Likert scale. The results show that only a minority of teachers implement the augmented reality in their classes. In addition, there are statistically significant differences in terms of professional experience, so that younger teachers tend to implement methodologies based on the use of emerging mobile technologies such as augmented reality. Finally, it is emphasized that despite the constant technological advance of mobile devices in society, their application in the classroom occurs slowly.

<span>This paper describes how activity theory (AT) and its principle of contradictions may be relied on to guide research in educational technology. The paper begins with a theoretical overview of AT and of its principle of contradictions. It follows with a synthesis of studies that have used AT as a lens to study information and communication technologies (ICTs) in educational contexts. We analyse educational technology studies that have focused on contradictions in terms of their underlying assumptions, research questions, approaches to analysis, findings, and implications. The lens of AT and contradictions provides a versatile tool to inquire into various aspects of educational technology use, taking into account individual and institutional perspectives as well as evolution over time. AT and its principle of contradictions provide insights into how transformation may occur with use of ICTs in educational contexts.</span>

This study explains the importance of use Augmented Reality in education and how it can be used on the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in order to improve specific advantages. Augmented reality (AR) is an area that mixes real-world images, whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. This study further shows the development tools, application areas, and results obtained through augmented reality in the education, as a support tool to achieve the primary objective of education, which is learning through the use of MOOCs, making it a more attractive with the use of information and communication technologies. Currently there is a great variety of applications that use the augmented reality in areas such as medicine, military, education, among others.

The interpretation of the cultural heritage is presented in the context of the possibilities of ICT for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Examples for the use of Augmented reality (AR) for the presentation of European cultural heritage are explored. There were presented opportunities for interpretation of the cultural heritage through visual research with information and communication technologies (ICT) in real “in situ” and museum environment by examples from Bulgaria for the use of the “Method of interaction of the arts in interpreting and presenting the cultural heritage through Information and Communication Technologies “and in particular with the use of augmented reality, introduced with the dissertation work “Protecting Bulgaria’s cultural heritage in the context of the synthesis of architecture and Fine Arts” (Nenov 2016). The possibilities of the method are discribed in the projects for “Revitalization of Ancient and Medieval fortress Hotalich Sevlievo” and a project for virtual presentation of the archaeological sites of the cultural heritage with category “national significance” – “Ancient and Medieval Fortress in the Horizon neighbourhood” and “Temple of Kibela Balchik” – an interactive and children’s museum in open and indoor, created by a team with head arch. Ivelin Nenov. These sites have created an environment for interpretation and presentation of the cultural heritage through visual interactions in a real “in situ” and museum environment. The specific methodology used by the team to investigate the examined objects could serve as a basis for a new approach for documention, exhibition, preservаtion and socializiation of ruinous cultural heritage. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that have been used are presented as an extremely flexible tool for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural values among a wide range of target groups of local and foreign socio-cultural communities.
