Abstract

Welcome to Volume 50, Issue 3, of The Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology (CJLT). CJLT is a peer-reviewed journal that has supported research and practice in technology for learning for decades. This bilingual journal is free of charge to anyone with Internet access, is multi-indexed, and is presented in accessible formats. There are no article submission or publication fees.

Amid threats of a trade war and an imminent federal election in Canada, the editorial team completed and released this issue. Discussions about the decline of civil society and the needs of democracies surround us. We are reminded that education plays a crucial role in fostering informed, engaged, and responsible citizens, which is essential for civil discourse and productive civic participation. More broadly, Canadian and global education remains focused on the development needs of individuals and the socioeconomic world. These needs are shaped by the increased use of artificial intelligence tools, as well as the impact of remote learning and learning losses experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. CJLT continues to provide research addressing education in this evolving landscape of contextual and technological change.
