The field of education is not immune to advances in sophisticated information and communication technology (ICT). Going beyond the ICT-hype, the objective of this paper is to examine to what extent and how technology-enhanced teaching and learning (TEL) can enhance teaching and learning and, hence, turn them into levers of sustainable socio-economic growth and development. To address these questions, a multidimensional survey was developed and distributed internationally to lecturers/professors active in the field of higher education. The initial point of departure for this study was consistent with the well-referenced in the literature thesis that TEL has profound value added in view of enhancing the teaching and learning process. Yet, as the outcomes of the survey underpinning the discussion in this paper suggest, there is much more is at stake than that. Indeed, it is argued that several conditions need to be fulfilled if technology is to serve as a benefit, and not an obstacle to teaching and learning, and thus boost the delivery of quality education. This paper outlines them.which suggests that an intrinsic, albeit contentious, link exists between education and the ICT industry. Considering that the objective of research is to expand our knowledge and understanding of the world around us and to make research findings usable to all stakeholders, the interesting question is whether and how the inroad of technology in the field of education is of value to our societies.Quality education is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approved at the United Nations (UN) forum in 2015 [10]. In an attempt to go beyond the success of the Millennium Development Goals, the SDGs put forth the imperative to "ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning" [10]. Quality education may be the key lever of sustainable development [9,11,12] around the world, i.e., including the developing and the developed world. In this view, the access to, the role, and the potential of the use of technology in teaching and learning become more than a slogan. Indeed, the definition of inclusive education [13] points out to the decisive role of technology-enhanced education vis-à-vis boosting technological innovativeness, strengthening the economy, enhancing awareness of environmental sustainability, and ultimately empowering people to secure their wellbeing. Undoubtedly, the inroad of technology in the field of education yields a great promise. As the use of ICT in classroom matures and so the debate on it, it is necessary to get back to basics, and going beyond the ICT-hype, to examine to what extent and how TEL can effectively add to teaching and learning, and, consequently, to the imperative of quality education and sustainable growth and development. To address these questions and concerns, a multidimensional international survey was run. The discussion in this paper draws from insights collected in this way and queries them. The reminder of the paper is structured as follows. Following a brief literat...

This chapter summarizes the development and transformation of the International Journal of Knowledge Society Research (IJKSR) into a new form called the International Journal of Smart Education and Urban Society (IJSEUS). In the chapter, there is used literature review methodology to analyze the 199 articles published in 32 issues from 2010 to 2017. The obtained results allow us to ascertain what were the emerging topics published in the journal, which types of research article are published more often, and which countries are represented. The aggregated data also allow us to identify future directions in developing a journal and promoting its visibility and citation. The descriptive analysis method was adopted for data analysis, the quantitative data were compiled using Excel software, and the content analysis was done descriptively by defining the research categories.
