Focus of the special collection update
Mobile Mixed Reality (MMR) is a rapidly developing technology that is being implemented in many different learning environments. A lot has changed already since the publication of our 2018 Special Collection on MMR, and this update to the 2018 special collection on MMR for 2019 will highlight the latest research in this domain.

]]>Educational design research (EDR) addresses two primary goals:
• improving educational effectiveness in specific practical settings, and
• identifying empirically grounded and sharable design principles and models for enhancing educational effectiveness beyond specific settings.
A third, but nonetheless important goal, is professional development for all participants, both practitioners and researchers. Since its formalization in the early 1990s, EDR (also known as “design-based research” and by several other names) has become increasingly adopted by educational researchers and collaborating practitioners working in fields such as educational technology, the learning sciences, and healthcare education.
EDR goes beyond “action research” by combining the solution of real world practice problems with the search for reusable/replicable intervention design principles. The emphasis in this workshop will be less on the theoretical aspects of EDR and more on the “nuts and bolts” of how it can be done by all types of educational researchers and practitioners as well as by doctoral students.
The presentation aspects of the workshop will be kept to a minimum to enable sufficient focus on planning exercises and feedback to the participants.
