Information Technology (IT) services have become popular at academic institutions worldwide enabling students as well as instructors to utilize their potential to meet the standard credit hour requirements. This dissertation comprised a quantitative study of the IT time usage by resident undergraduate students in Buffalo, New York, over a 15-week…

Educational technology assists students and teachers, but little information is available for high school education. The problem this study explored was whether there were inconsistencies in the use of educational technology in high school classrooms between public and private institutions, what factors may be influencing any discrepancies, and if…

This explanatory sequential mixed methods study explored how and why dual language (DL) teachers used technology and the extent to which their use of technology supported the goals of DL of bilingualism, biliteracy, academic achievement, and sociocultural competence. The study was guided by Mishra and Koehler's (2006) technological pedagogical…

Allowing learners to move across learning contexts in novel ways, digital tools play an increasingly central role for the formation of learning trajectories and identities. They thus presumably also affect dynamics of social sorting in education. Against this background, this article introduces a conceptual framework for unravelling dynamics of…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has continued to advance at a stunning pace since our last publication on GenAI in education in spring 2023. In that first article of a two-part series, we discussed the overall dynamic frontier of GenAI, its potential uses and benefits in education, the essential abilities required in the age of GenAI,…

Videos are an increasingly popular medium for supporting learning in various educational settings. Nowadays, newly designed video-based environments contain enhanced tools that allow for specific interactions with video materials (such as adding annotations and hyperlinks) which may well support generative learning and conceptual understanding.…

This study aims to analyse the evolutionary context of the introduction of technology in Portuguese schools, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, and to identify the digital competences of Portuguese teachers at different educational levels. The analysis, qualitative and quantitative in nature, allowed us to conclude that…

Purpose: Unprecedented progressions in the sector of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have led to the trendsetting of Education 4.0 paradigms. A byproduct of breakthroughs in Education 4.0 is the "Cybergogy" paradigm that particularly stimulates learning and builds competencies in a virtual environment for the new era.…

The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to describe the experiences of history doctoral candidates at Liefrig University with technology and information overload. The theory guiding this study was Sweller's cognitive load theory, as it explains the characteristics of the information received using technology and the effect of…

Education systems worldwide recognise the value and promise of technology as a catalyst for transforming pedagogy and promoting student learning. However, several factors stymie teachers' technology integration practices in pursuit of these desired aspirations. This qualitative study investigates, from the perspective of key education…

Aim/Purpose: The Internet of Things (IoT) application modules have covered diverse sectors, and the educational domain is no exception. In this survey, we discuss the specific application benefits of IoT in education and further examine implementation challenges in Ghanaian tertiary institutions. Background: This survey examines pertinent…

With the rapid development of information technologies, virtual reality (VR) has caught much attention in education. However, scanty studies have been committed to a meta-analysis of its effect in education in terms of various components. This study, through a meta-analysis, systematically reviews the effect of VR technologies on educational…

In this paper, I argue that the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and education have been deeply intertwined since the early days of AI. Specifically, I show that many of the early pioneers of AI were cognitive scientists who also made pioneering and impactful contributions to the field of education. These researchers saw AI as a tool for…

Teachers' technology adoption primarily aims to integrate technology into the curriculum and to improve teaching and learning. Teaching artifacts encapsulate the attributes that can reflect teacher expertise in the authentic context. This study inspects the implicit quality of teaching artifacts to examine teachers' technology adoption throughout…

As a third-generation Internet form, the Metaverse has received widespread attention for its spatio-temporal expansion, high immersion, sensory extension, and human--computer integration. Considering the prospect of application in the field of education, a series of studies on the design of Education Metaverse frameworks and applications have…
