Introduction

The rapid advancement of technology has transformed teaching and learning models. A key issue that has attracted much attention is how to leverage the advantages of technology to foster initiative and learning strategies in learners at the higher education level, which can then extend to diverse aspects of adult education, and even to professional development of teachers seeking to enhance classroom teaching quality through technology. This symposium focuses on the fields of higher education, adult education, and teacher professional development, and attempts to transfer successful experiences from digital learning to various fields to improve learning environments and outcomes. The theme of this sub-conference, "Technology Applications in Higher Education and Adult Learning, Teacher Professional Development," aims to encourage exchange of experiences in digital learning planning, design, and implementation among experts and scholars, enhancing research and practical application of digital learning in higher education, adult learning, and teacher professional development.
