The special issue of the Journal of Education, Culture and Society, expected to be published in June 2019, will be dedicated to the very actual, yet poorly explored, topic of the usage of emoticons in relation to personality.

Overview of the Book:
In the present times of technological explosion, education has a unique role. Higher education in particular has a special place because universities possess much more autonomy and can implement reforms with greater ease. What should we consider from wide perspective in terms of needed reforms? How to facilitate teaching-learning in an environment overloaded with dynamic knowledge? Which factors play a crucial role in higher education with changing approach to knowledge because of the wide extent of information technology? What is knowledge nowadays and how higher education should answer to a growing need of change?
In this book we are willing to give an overview of the directions that can be used by teachers, students and the whole society connected to higher education. It is the need of the hour that we share perspectives from different areas of research and countries to get to know the possible opportunities and limitations in education.
