Book excerpt: This book presents innovative technology-enhanced learning solutions for STEM education proposed by the EU Horizon 2020-funded NEWTON project by first highlighting the benefits and limitations of existing research work, e- learning systems and case studies that embedded technology in the teaching and learning process. NEWTON’s proposed innovative technologies and pedagogies include adaptive multimedia and multiple sensorial media, virtual reality, fabrication and virtual labs, gamification, personalisation, game-based learning and self-directed learning pedagogies. The main objectives are to encourage STEM education among younger generations and to attract students to STEM subjects, making these subjects more appealing and interesting. Real life deployment of NEWTON technologies and developed educational materials in over 20 European educational institutions at primary, secondary and tertiary levels demonstrated statistical significant increases in terms of learner satisfaction, learner motivation and knowledge acquisition.
