About this volume

Human-centered design for learning and education

This volume invites contributors to examine how usability and human-centered design can improve educational systems, technologies, services, policies, and learning experiences.

We are especially interested in contributors with experience in education, learning environments, educational technology, accessibility, instructional design, student support, or policy and systems change.

What we are looking for

Broad education themes

Learning environments

Usability in classrooms, universities, online learning, informal learning, lifelong learning, and educational services.

Access and inclusion

Accessibility, inclusive design, equity, student support, and better experiences for diverse learners.

Educational technology

Digital platforms, learning tools, administrative systems, student portals, AI, and human-centered educational infrastructure.

Contributor expectations

Substantial chapter-length contributions

We are seeking substantial, chapter-length contributions similar to the first volume. Chapters may draw on research, case studies, applied practice, teaching, professional experience, or cross-sector perspectives.

Contributions should connect clearly to usability, accessibility, UX, HCI, or human-centered design within the theme of education.

Applications are collected through a Google Form. Selected contributors will receive additional guidance about chapter scope, timeline, and the editorial process.
