This study employs a transcendental phenomenology case study approach to explore graduate student perspectives on multimodal assessments (MMAs) within an online environment. The primary objective is to understand how these students experience and perceive MMAs. To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect in-depth data…

With the advent of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools, students have a new instrument that can create writing samples for them, making it easy to violate academic integrity. A constructivist grounded theory multiple-case study was conducted to address faculty perceptions of ChatGPT as a tool for learning and teaching instead of a…

Purpose: The application of artificial intelligence chatbots is an emerging trend in educational technology studies for its multi-faceted advantages. However, the existing studies rarely take a perspective of educational technology application to evaluate the application of chatbots to educational contexts. This study aims to bridge the research…

The purpose of this three-article dissertation is to better understand the role emerging technologies are playing in learning. This dissertation explores tools on a spectrum of reality from fully immersive virtual reality (VR), semi-immersive VR, non-immersive VR, augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR). Three studies…

Digitisation represents one of the key directions of adult education and training in the post-COVID-19 times, but direct empirical evidence of its scope among learners is rather scarce after 2021. Therefore, the general aim of this article is to investigate the current state of the use of online learning platforms and resources in adult education…

This quantitative causal-comparative study discusses the effectiveness of eLearning tools in Higher Educational Institutions (HEI). Technology acceptance by the teaching faculty and administrative staff plays a vital role in implementing an effective education using eLearning platforms in HEI. The topic focuses on the perspective of a faculty and…

VR has been widely acknowledged for its capacity to allow perspective-taking, increase empathy, engage learners, and facilitate experiential learning; however, the availability, accessibility, and limitations of the content have slowed implementation. One instance of this can be seen in implementing XR content to engage global citizens with…
