Digitalsation affects all facets of society including education, yet there are some important differences of the ways different countries and institutions implement this new technology. In this Special Issue authors discuss not just the technical side of this new development but, more importantly, the ways digitalisation affects research, teaching and learning in Higher Education and other educational settings.

The University of Glasgow is represented and the situation in Scotland and the UK are analyzed in the contribution by David Lundie; this Special Issue of the Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education (JCIHE) is introduced and co-edited by Hans G. Schuetze, Honorary Professor at the School of Education.
