Creative assessments hold the potential to counter outcome-oriented and utilitarian approaches to teaching, characteristic of neoliberal academia. This paper explores the potentialities of digital stories as one form of creative assessment that may help rupture normative ways of teaching-learning and engaging with affective pedagogies. The authors…

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including education, understanding how educators perceive and integrate AI into their teaching practices is crucial. This study addresses the growing need to explore educators' perspectives on AI's impact on education, particularly its implications for effective…

Purpose: This study aims to identify critical online teaching effectiveness factors from instructors' perspectives and experiences during COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a qualitative phenomenology approach. In addition, the research used a snowball sample to identify faculty in the engineering and engineering technology…

Institution-crippling earthquakes limited teaching contact hours and range of teaching environments. New ways became needed to achieve the same learning outcomes in less time. Following that disaster, new methods based on active and test-enhanced learning were introduced into two undergraduate molecular biology courses. The courses had a mixture…

For decades, the field of educational technology (ed-tech) has been characterised by overoptimism and lofty promises that often fail to materialise. This research investigates the narrative claims or hype of ed-tech across diverse education contexts in seven Asian-Pacific countries. It uses a qualitative meta-analysis of research reports developed…

Lecture recordings can provide adaptable, highly flexible, and convenient access to learning materials. Higher education institutions employ lecture recordings to engage and enrich students' learning experience. However, educators have increasingly raised concerns that the availability of lecture recordings is likely to contribute to a decline in…

Purpose: Since new digital micro-credential technologies emerged a decade ago, there has been a rapid rise in micro-credentials in the education landscape. Much has been promised about these educational technologies, yet there is much confusion by key stakeholders in the digital micro-credential ecosystem. This confusion has led to significant…

This article conceptualises how disruptions to conventional teaching models may lead to innovative practice. We have identified a gap in current knowledge around how innovations in higher education teaching and learning are initiated in times of crises. Disruptive Innovation Theory and Roger's Diffusion of Innovation Theory are used as lenses to…

Interpretive Case-based Modeling (ICM) was developed for this study as a new research methodology for investigating higher education adoption of technology-enhanced innovations in teaching and learning (eLearning). This research applied ICM in interviews with participants from Australian and New Zealand higher education institutions. The…

Research on teacher education and classroom teaching has evolved significantly in recent decades, with more scholarship taking an international and/or other intersectional lenses. The International Study Association on Teachers and Teaching (ISATT) has changed with the field. Beginning as a predominantly white European and North American…

This paper draws on a study that examined the experiences of four high-achieving Pasifika physiotherapy degree level students to identify factors contributing to their success. As peer students, they identified five approaches that assisted them to become high achievers within the tertiary environment. This paper refers specifically to these…

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in academic practice has progressed rapidly in the last decade. Nevertheless, it's use has been taken-for-granted and/or overlooked in academic practice, especially in doctoral research. This pilot study was carried out in 2017, with the aim to examine PhD supervisors' and PhD students'…

Lecture recordings are useful learning resources that can support flexible, remote and distance learning, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study explored students' experiences of engaging with recorded lectures and the extent to which such engagement contributes to enhanced learning. The research involved the deployment of a…

Geospatial technology is still a growth area and knowledge of these technologies remains essential for a skilled workforce. In higher education, geospatial curriculum design is predominantly determined by educators and is influenced by what educators believe should be taught. Knowledge of national or regional provision can support a richer…

Digital technologies and the Internet are increasing in prominence in schooling systems. As schools and teaching evolve as a result of the integration of technologies teacher preparation will also change. This paper examines research exploring the preparation of teachers for the digital age through a systematic literature review of articles…
