Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of education has been undergoing a significant transformation due to the rapid advancements in digital technologies. Digital learning innovations have become integral to modern educational practices, enhancing the ways in which individuals interact with educational content, digital applications, and fostering creativity within the learning process. This proposed section collection aims to explore and showcase cutting-edge research and insights into the intersections of Interaction Design, Digital Applications, Creativity, and Learning. By delving into these perspectives, this section collection seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how digital innovations are shaping the future of education.

Interaction Design: Interaction design plays a pivotal role in shaping the user experience within digital learning environments. This perspective seeks to examine how innovative interaction design strategies are enhancing learner engagement, motivation, and comprehension. We invite contributions that delve into novel user interface designs, user-centered approaches, and the integration of emerging technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and natural language processing to create intuitive and immersive learning experiences.

Digital Applications: Digital applications have revolutionized the way educational content is delivered, personalized, and consumed. This perspective aims to explore the diverse range of digital tools and applications that are transforming traditional teaching and learning methodologies. Researchers are encouraged to investigate the effectiveness of digital applications in fostering collaborative learning, adaptive learning pathways, and real-time assessment. Additionally, we seek contributions that analyze the impact of gamified and interactive applications on student motivation and knowledge retention.

Creativity and Learning: Creativity is a fundamental skill that plays a critical role in preparing students for the challenges of the digital age. This perspective seeks to examine how digital learning innovations are fostering creativity within educational contexts. We invite researchers to explore the intersection of creative pedagogies, digital tools, and learner autonomy. Contributions could focus on how digital platforms encourage creative expression, problem-solving, and critical thinking, as well as how educators can leverage digital resources to design innovative and imaginative learning experiences.

This section collection will provide a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to share their insights, empirical studies, and theoretical frameworks related to the intersection of Interaction Design, Digital Applications, Creativity, and Learning. By bringing together these perspectives, this section collection aims to:

· Present a comprehensive overview of the latest digital learning innovations and their impact on education.

· Highlight effective strategies for designing interactive and engaging digital learning environments.

· Explore the role of digital applications in enhancing student outcomes and learning experiences.

· Showcase how creativity is nurtured and harnessed through the integration of digital tools in education.

This section collection is designed for researchers in the fields of education, instructional design, human-computer interaction, and technology-enhanced learning. Educators, policymakers, and educational technology developers will also find valuable insights to inform their practices and decision-making.

Submission Guidelines: We welcome original research articles, case studies, reviews, and theoretical papers that align with the aforementioned perspectives. Submissions should contribute to the scholarly discourse surrounding the integration of Interaction Design, Digital Applications, Creativity, and Learning. All manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the content.

By exploring the perspectives of Interaction Design, Digital Applications, Creativity, and Learning, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these domains intersect to shape the future of learning. This section collection will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to harness the power of digital innovations to create dynamic and effective learning experiences.

We are looking forward to your contributions.
