Guest editorial: special issue: digital uptake in higher education

Introductory note: Educational practices are often steeped in tradition with an emphasis on lecture-based delivery of content. However, new technologies offer many new and innovative methods of content delivery, bounded primarily by the capabilities of the individual lecturer themselves and the decision of "what technology to use, for what purpose?" The topic of appropriate use of technology in education is debated widely and across many fora. This special issue entitled "Digital Uptake in Higher Education" features papers from one such fora, the International Conference on Information and Communications Technology in Education (ICICTE).
