Based on the concept of Communities of Practice (CoP), this study describes the design and implementation of an online academic conference, Pedagogy and Practice in Technology Enhanced Language Learning (PPTELL) 2021, as a backdrop for exploring how to effectively promote the development of academic citizenship within the PPTELL CoP. To address…

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…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of the scholarly literature between 2016 and 2023 on the impact of classroom technology on higher education instructors' assessment practices through the lens of the assessment design in a digital world framework (Bearman et al., 2022). Specifically, the paper focuses on (a) describing the…

Higher education (HE) has seen a growing trend towards online study. However, teaching is deeply connected to one's beliefs, values, commitments and to relationships with students. A change in the mode of instruction and pedagogy has the potential to disrupt these deep and personal connections giving rise to an emotional response. The purpose of…

Pedagogy in vocational education is challenged by the increasing availability of mixed reality (MR) technologies.

At its heart, design is a studio-based discipline, which makes it difficult for design educators to adopt technology-driven changes into an online teaching and learning environment. Globally, few universities offer online undergraduate degree design courses, despite an overall growth in online higher degree curricula. Anecdotal evidence and…

Digital technologies are increasingly used in many areas of sport, exercise and health, including in schools. In this article, I engage with sociomaterial theory, and particularly concepts drawn from feminist new materialism, to address the question of how health and physical education (HPE) teachers in the context of the Australian education…

There has been much previous research on the use of online delivery in the vocational education and training (VET) and higher education (HE) sectors.

The rate of change in the use of digital technologies in schools means that professional learning regarding technology-enhanced learning is constantly required for school teachers. The focus of this article is on how an action learning (AL) approach supported the professional learning of teachers regarding adoption of mobile technologies in their…

The higher education experience was markedly different than usual for those enrolling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher education institutions of all kinds found their instructional methods profoundly disrupted by the closure of their physical campuses, and the crisis exposed the urgent need for policy makers and institutional leaders to adjust…

Learning design has traditionally been thought of as an activity occurring prior to the presentation of a learning experience or a description of that activity. With the advent of near real-time data and new opportunities of representing the decisions and actions of learners in digital learning environments, learning designers can now apply…
