This short paper describes an early look at a project aimed at aiding students to understand various viewpoints through the advocacy of a museum visit. It aims to both improve historical reasoning and allow for more open-mindedness. This is done by combining a process of citizen curation with the use of de-polarization techniques. [For the…

This paper reports on research that aimed to provide initial insight into how university students in two different countries, Japan and Ukraine, coped with greater use of videoconferencing software and whether this resulted in any issues surrounding their online privacy. To facilitate learning under the COVID-19 pandemic, instructors and learners…

Video is used widely in language education as a learning tool and a production tool for students to demonstrate oral competence. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Irish language lecturers at Dublin City University (DCU) set asynchronous video assessment tasks for students on teacher education programmes.

This work is part of an ongoing research project and literature review on the role of art in education and the interrelationships between art, creativity and online learning (focused on Business Education students from a university in Mexico). This research looks at the experiences of international students studying a business programme in the UK…

Simulation-based learning environments have been proposed by researchers, as educational tools to support learning in complex business systems. However, studies have evidenced that subjects may nevertheless have great difficulty understanding and managing dynamic systems. Previous research has revealed positive learning and performance effects of…

This study examined the impacts of contextual and personal variables on out-of-class technology use for English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL) learning among 1079 adolescents. It was found that girls reported more individualized and collaborative out-of-class technology use, and less computer anxiety in technology use than boys did.…

This study reviewed the evolving capabilities of hydro-drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which are used for spraying and cleaning with a focus on water management, and it revealed that the unique capabilities of hydro-drones offered the potential to create challenging and rewarding education and training programs, designed to provide new or…

Artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) is a fast-growing field of research. In previous work, we described efforts to explore the possible futures of AIEd by identifying key variables and their future prospects. This paper re-examines our discussions on the governance of data and the role of students and teachers by considering the…

Ensuring the safety of learners is paramount in schools, particularly in workshops where hands-on learning takes place.

This paper…

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…

We propose a novel model for learning environments to target the characteristics of digital natives and to improve informal learning practices, i.e. the exploration, discovery and self-monitoring of learning content and the reflection on learning activities. The Mobile Playful Learning Environment (MPLE) model is defined as consisting of seven…

Video tutorials substantially support demonstration-based training where the main goal is to enhance procedural knowledge by observing various understandable examples of performing a task. Although video tutorials are broadly popular nowadays, little attention is given to the design features of an instructional tutorial. The aim of this study is…

Approaches to learning and teaching have been undergoing massive changes. Technology has enabled many innovations while other methods have embedded authentic research approaches or looked to other disciplines.
