The following article deals with the possibility of discovering several parameters of the picture when using Google Maps images, e.g. time and date of taking the image. This is possible with all pictures in which buildings, trees, poles ('objects') can be seen with their shadows. In some cases, one can find -- with a bit of luck -- an aircraft…

This article examines how research publications in education and information technologies have changed over the last twenty-five years. The authors investigate articles published in the journal: "Education and Information Technologies" ("EAIT"). To celebrate a quarter-century of this publication. They take a retrospective view…

The efficacy of health professions education (HPE) is more and more reliant on leveraging new technologies as they emerge. The nascent "Web 3.0" is shifting us away from traditional centralized architectures for capture and storage of information, and aims to decentralize and distribute it. Blockchain has received a large amount of…

The inclusion of the InChI or SMILES codes as a one-sentence answer allows web-based classroom response systems to provide instant feedback to some of the most typical drawing-based questions asked in organic chemistry courses. This paper discusses the implementation and scope of this strategy using smartphones as the only hardware requirement.

Mixed-reality simulation (MRS) is an innovative and promising approach in teacher preparation programs. While the use of MRS as a practice-based learning opportunity (PLO) in special education teacher preparation and professional development continues to grow, integrating this novel technology can be daunting for faculty members and school…

In an age of ready access to people, online spaces and information, canonized formal knowledge acquisition is being disrupted. The emergence of socially constructed knowledge based on connected learning is democratising education and re-framing how formal and informal learning is considered. What we currently understand connected learning to be is…

As the technology is achieving a non-feasible zenith of complexity and quality in video, it is important to maintain the related size of each file at a low level to be able to run the video on devices with limited space like phones. In this regard, different video codecs and containers have been brought forward so that a lower level of information…

This paper explores the roles of information and communication technology (ICT) coordinators, using architectures for learning as the theoretical framework to identify (a) the structures and mechanisms utilized to decide the role of a coordinator and (b) those organized for the coordinator to realize a role within a school context of ICT-enabled,…

For too long, our system of higher education has been defined by scarcity: scarcity in enrollment, scarcity in instruction, and scarcity in credentials. In addition to failing students professionally, this system has exacerbated social injustice and socioeconomic stratification across the globe. In "The Abundant University," Michael D.…

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, developed by OpenAI, have the potential to revolutionize education. This study explores the potential benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT in education (or "educative AI"). Design/Approach/Methods: This paper proposes a theoretical framework called…

Applying computing technology during problem solving and the reflection of the appropriateness of this application are crucial skills for modern life. This is especially true while working on interdisciplinary STEM problems. However, up to now, few ready-to-use materials are available to foster such competencies. This paper starts bridging this…

With the emergence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, modern technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and big data are profoundly transforming the education ecosystem. The development of education is not only faced with huge challenges but also contains rare opportunities. New concepts such as deep learning, adaptive learning,…

Amid the increasing reliance on digital tools and services in education, this article examines the datafication and commodification of student life in Denmark. We analyse the web and app (iOS and Android) versions of 45 tools and services that teachers in Danish public primary schools use as part of their teaching, the types of data generated by…

The learning management system (LMS) is a software based on SAAS, internet navigator, or user application, which manage the teaching and learning of an academic or non-academic program. This work presents a comparison of 45 LMSs. The objective of this research is to report a study of the LMS developed for higher education. This objective is…

This article provides a comprehensive literature review examining virtual learning in the Aotearoa New Zealand schools sector, with a specific focus on understanding and addressing the needs of Maori learners in these online environments. It begins by tracing the historical development of virtual learning in Aotearoa New Zealand -- from early…
