Originally published as a special issue of the Creativity Research Journal, this comprehensive volume delves into the intricate realm of technology-enabled creative learning in contemporary societies, offering a balanced and insightful perspective on the challenges and opportunities it presents. Spanning a wide range of topics, the chapters in this book provide conceptual reflections and empirically grounded insights into the profound impact of technology on individual and collective creativity and learning. These thought-provoking discussions are contextualized within the realm of school achievement, the development of digital educational resources, online collaboration, and virtual working. Furthermore, the book explores the potential risks associated with the creative use of technology, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the accidental or deliberate dissemination of misinformation and online manipulation of societal values pose significant challenges.

This book will captivate postgraduate students specializing in creativity and learning, as well as scholars and researchers engaged in broader research areas such as the role of technology in education, e-Learning, and distance education.
