Undoubtedly, technology has become an integral part of all aspects of education, broadly covering curriculum planning and design, content development and delivery, knowledge transfer and management, communication among learners and instructors, assessment and programme evaluation.

In a technology-enabled learning environment, students can learn in new and more proactive ways. This aligns itself with ideas of student-centred learning. Technology-mediated proactive learning is now one of the important topics in the field for further investigation.

This special issue aims to explore how technology can be used to enable proactive learning so as to enhance learning effectiveness and enrich learning experience. Areas to be explored include blended learning, collaborative learning, intelligent tutoring, mobile learning, ubiquitous learning and learning platform and advising systems. The intention of the issue is to disseminate research and share experience in technology-mediated proactive learning.
