In recent years, a pervasive approach to promoting information and communication technologies (ICTs) has emerged, characterized by the quantification of data. This includes indices of references, access counters to webpages, total views of videos on YouTube, and various other metrics that often lack depth in terms of their pedagogical value. Certain data are presented as enticing magnets to attract students to education courses, portraying education as a commercial product rather than a public good freely accessible to all. This format finds appeal in both offline and online communication channels, yet it lacks the necessary metrics to foster critical thinking and evaluate knowledge and experiences.

To address this gap, Assessment Methods and Success Factors for Digital Education and New Media delves into an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the teaching-learning process and knowledge dissemination to harness the full potential of new ICTs. This comprehensive reference source examines the theories and practices of interactive content, employing a constructive criticism framework. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including digital challenges, information architecture, and interactive design. Serving as a premier resource, this book is invaluable for educators, administrators, software developers, interactive designers, preservice teachers, teacher educators, evaluators of interactive systems, government officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians alike.

By exploring these critical aspects, Assessment Methods and Success Factors for Digital Education and New Media contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of ICTs in education. It provides valuable insights and practical strategies for educators and administrators seeking to leverage the power of new technologies to enhance learning outcomes and promote a more inclusive and equitable education system.
