An examination of Everett M. Rogers’s (1995) Theory of the Diffusion of Innovations suggests that there is a positive relationship among students’ attitudes, perceptions, and expectations toward instructional technology in relation to the diffusion of innovations. Furthermore, the evidence shows that there is a very high correlation between acceptance of diffusion and students’ attitudes, acceptance of diffusion and students’ perceptions, and acceptance of diffusion and students’ expectations toward instructional technology. The relative advantage of an innovation can be influenced by social prestige, convenience, and satisfaction with an innovation.

This book contains papers in the fields of engineering pedagogy education, public–private partnership and entrepreneurship education, research in engineering pedagogy, evaluation and outcomes assessment, Internet of Things & online laboratories, IT & knowledge management in education and real-world experiences. We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education and especially post-secondary education. To face these challenges, higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to these new needs. There is also pressure by the new situation in regard to the Covid pandemic. These were the aims connected with the 23rd International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL2020), which was held online by University of Technology Tallinn, Estonia from 23 to 25 September 2020. Since its beginning in 1998, this conference is devoted to new approaches in learning with a focus on collaborative learning. Nowadays the ICL conferences are a forum of the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in Learning and Engineering Pedagogy. In this way, we try to bridge the gap between ‘pure’ scientific research and the everyday work of educators. Interested readership includes policymakers, academics, educators, researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, school teachers, learning industry, further and continuing education lecturers, etc.
