“…These new contexts require individuals with new attitudes and skills to be able to deal with additional issues provoked by distant, multidisciplinary and multicultural relationships. In an experience reported in Díaz, Acuña, Aedo, and Ocker (2011), teams of students from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid joined the PSU Partially-Distributed Project (Ocker, Rosson, Kracaw, & Hiltz, 2009) to collaboratively engage in web-design with several teams located around the world. This kind of collaboration forced to develop international, multidisciplinary and multicultural communication skills, not typically practiced in collaborative learning tasks where you know all your mates and you can easily distribute effort, negotiate and manage conflicts.…”

In recent years, several scholars have called for more inquiry on the role of interactive media in learning in the digital and hyperconnected world. While the interplay of technology and learning may be difficult to fully unfold, current evidence suggests that technological innovations have an important effect on learning, engagement, and achievement in all educational settings --formal, non-formal and informal. This book compiles contemporary and multidisciplinary research in this area, with the goal of arousing other investigators to contribute to the growing empirical literature on interactive media for learning. The chapters in this book explore research questions on technologically mediated learning from a variety of theoretical and methodological frameworks, in several different types of educational contexts, and from different participant perspectives (students and teachers). In doing so, the book is expected to shed light and raise academic discussions on the interplay of interactive media and learning in formal, non-formal and informal educational settings -how learning gains emerge and are documented, and how the use of interactive media relates to important behavioural, motivational, and achievement outcomes.
