As metaverse becomes one of the most popular buzzwords in technology, there is still a lack of support to integrate true metaverse learning experiences in massive open online courses (MOOCs). This article introduces a new framework of massive open metaverse courses (MOMCs) and its major enabling technologies, which add immersive and 3-D learning…

This paper proposes a human-centered approach to using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education that promotes equitable access to knowledge while preserving privacy and ethics. Through the lens of third-generation Activity Theory we examine the interaction between three activity systems in higher education: AI teachers, human teachers, and…

The Ministry of Education in Malaysia has been appointed to be one of the leaders in the innovation landscape with the responsibility to facilitate the adoption of quadruple helix (QH) across institutions of higher learning in Malaysia (IHL) to accelerate the commercialization of IHL technology. However, it was reported that the adoption of QH in…

How can schools integrate the lessons of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic into their face-to-face teaching. What guidelines can teachers use to be sure they are integrating technology? In this article, we propose an adaptation of the Triple E Framework to guide this work. The goal of the framework is to ensure that technology use…

The importance of Digital Competence in teacher education has increased in recent years resulting in a range of digital competency frameworks aimed at guiding national and regional governments in their integration of digital competence in teacher education. The discourses and assumptions underpinning digital competence frameworks are discussed in…

This guide addresses the challenge of inaccessible digital learning resources by providing K-12 education stakeholders with actionable information about EPUB, a digital file format. EPUB is a widely adopted format for many digital books and is specifically designed to display text, audio, images and, in some cases, video in a manner usable by all…

In the present times, digital transformation has gained momentum. Contemporary higher education institutions have been embracing new technologies and transforming their practices, business models and process. Digital transformation in the higher education institutions is about the development of new more advanced and effective methods and…

Recognizing generative artificial intelligence (AI) as an "arrival technology"--one that has permeated K-12 classrooms and homes with or without schools' officially adopting it--the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) developed guidelines in 2023 for responsible implementation in schools under the direction of Dr.…

In this paper, we introduce a new interpretive framework, which we call Bodymarking, to aid in describing and interpreting activity (e.g., individuals' gestures, gaze, and interaction with materials in the environment) in the classroom. We apply the framework to video recordings of mathematics lessons to explain how it can be used and offer some…

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been varied, and while there was a clear upsurge in the use of technology in language and learning contexts during the worst lockdown periods, the long-term impact on technology usage remains to be seen. As has been widely noted, lockdowns forced teaching into remote modes, making technology indispensable.…

Universities in the United States are evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly technological society. Although workforce preparation has always been one of the primary purposes of higher education, these efforts have reached new levels due to the extensive integration of technology in daily work and life. The future of work is expected to be…

More and more teachers create video explanations for their instruction. Whether or not they are effective for learning depends on the videos' instructional quality. Reliable measures to assess the quality of video explanations, however, are still rare, especially for videos created by (preservice) teachers. We developed such a measure in a…

Due to a range of different affordances, mobile technologies can be used pedagogically for language teaching and learning. However, the connection of technology to education needs to be grounded in theoretical frameworks and methodological principles. Task-based language teaching (TBLT), as an optimal approach to language teaching and learning,…

Educational institutions are increasingly investing into digital delivery, acquiring new devices, and employing novel software and services. The rising costs associated with maintenance, in combination with increasing redundancy of older technologies, presents multiple challenges. While lesson content itself may not have changed, the educational…

Teachers use instructional design to solve problems and creatively develop and implement various concepts, theories, and techniques to design and manage the elements of teaching and learning and assess learning outcomes that are generally accepted according to Bloom's taxonomy, in which the cognitive domains of lower-order thinking connect to…
