Technology Enhanced and Remote Teaching and Learning

About

This edition of the Malta Journal of Education contains the research presented at the second Annual Symposium of the Institute for Education on the subject of Technology Enhanced and Remote Teaching and Learning. While the theme has been influenced by the need for remote teaching and learning due to COVID-19, the research presented in this volume is by no means only focused on the evaluation of teaching conducted during school closures due to the pandemic.
