TOFIEE (EAI Transactions on Future Intelligent Educational Environments)
Education always plays a vital role in the development of our society. Along with the wave of modern technology, education embraced computer-aided learning, e-learning and, now, intelligent learning. Among intelligent learning techniques, Virtual Reality (VR) technology brings about unprecedented educational experience and shows great potential value in educational areas. It brings such pedagogical advances as smart classrooms, intelligent campuses, immersive museums, affective learning, mobile learning, intelligent learning clouds and personalized VR tutors to revolutionize current learning practices. Using VR, the effectiveness and attractiveness of education have been enhanced and the way people acquire, comprehend and interact with knowledge is changing. Moreover, with recent advancements of VR technology, high-quality low cost displays and input devices, such as the Oculus Rift and the STEM Tracking System, have brought us to a turning point where VR can finally leave the research lab and reach the classroom with unprecedented quality at an affordable cost.Hence there is an urgent need for a special issue that acts as a forum for researchers and practitioners to pool knowledge together and to advance the science and art of VR educational practice, making it more efficient, cost-effective, and fun.

about Intelligent Environments
Intelligent Environments have been heralded as a technology to radicallytransform our society, and the nature of teaching and learning. There is an urgent need for a journal that acts as a focus for researchers and practitioners to pool knowledge together and to advance the science and art of teaching, learning, and pedagogical practice, making it more efficient, cost-effective, and fun. In this spirit, TOFIEE is a new journal which focuses on showcasing new technologies that can help to make a difference to teaching and learning experiences, by enriching the learning process and the teaching infrastructure. Central to our forum are enriched physical and virtual environments such as smart classrooms, virtual / mixed reality environments, intelligent learning clouds or mobile and augmented reality systems that can interact with students and teachers at a pedagogical level, so as to bring true innovations to education.
