Learning and Instruction in the Digital Age, offers selected, expanded papers from CELDA 2008 (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age) and addresses the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes, innovative pedagogies, and technology-based educational applications in the digital age. Advances in both cognitive psychology and computing have affected the educational arena, and the convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a fast pace and affecting academia and professional practice in many ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents systems, creating both opportunities and areas of concern. This volume aims to cover both technological as well as pedagogical issues related to these developments.
