Current educational trends leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to provide high-quality teaching and enhance students' learning competitiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) for assisted learning and design creation among art and design students. Based on an extended technology…

Laypeople's participation in the planning of built environments is dependent on their spatial literacy, and it is therefore important to develop this through general education. In Norway, architectural assignments in the subject of Art and crafts are aimed at enhancing spatial literacy, but not all activities are equally educative. The use of…

With the emergence of innovative technologies, including combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, computer-aided drug design (CADD), artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, the importance of drug design in the field of drug discovery and development is increasing. Additionally, education in drug design plays an important role in the…

Background: In computing education, educators are constantly faced with the challenge of developing new curricula, including learning objectives (LOs), while ensuring that existing courses remain relevant. Large language models (LLMs) were shown to successfully generate a wide spectrum of natural language artefacts in computing education.…

Transmedia skill, derived from the process of converting films into educational games using augmented reality and artificial intelligence, involves employing various languages and mediums to adapt an original narrative to another format. This transmedia practice presents an opportunity to cultivate diverse skills in teacher training by…

Purpose: The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education have significantly impacted learning, teaching and assessment practices. This development has raised critical questions about necessary changes to learning design and traditional assessment methods for a society where GenAI becomes…

The traditional curriculum design methods suffer from issues like outdated content and limited instructional approaches. To address these, this article proposes an optimized curriculum design system that integrates CAD and neural network models. This system enables intelligent curriculum content generation, introduces CAD-assisted instructional…

Background/Purpose: This study investigates the pedagogical potential of AI-generated images to enhance student engagement and critical analysis in world literature curricula. Grounded in Reader-Response Theory, it explores how algorithmic visuals impact student interpretation, addressing a gap in understanding technology's role in fostering…

Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue that has been linked to many adverse student outcomes. The current study focuses on improving a key system already in place in many school districts--early warning systems (EWSs)--in order to decrease chronic absenteeism in students' earliest schooling years. Using a demographically diverse population of…

This study investigates the long-standing employability gap among Tunisian civil engineering graduates, where mismatching between university education and construction industry demands irks labor market readiness. Through a mixed-methods approach, entailing semi-structured interviews with 25 industry leaders and action research within a leading…

Today more than ever before, we have access to new technologies which provide unforeseen opportunities for educators to pursue new innovations in online education. Pursuing innovation is a complex process! It starts with an idea, but that needs to be coupled with the right team of experts willing to take big risks and put in the hard work to build…

Popular platforms such as Facebook and Twitter integrate third-party apps from developers to enhance the experience of their users. While third-party apps are widely used to provide legitimate functionality, the abuse of third-party apps by attackers is also becoming prevalent. Attackers are abusing third-party apps to orchestrate their malicious…

In the age of computing, we rely on software to manage our days, from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep. Software predicts the future based on actualized data from the past. It produces procedures instead of experiences and solutions instead of care. Software systems tend to perpetuate a normalized state of equilibrium. Their application…

Engineering projects, such as designing a solar farm that converts solar radiation shined on the Earth into electricity, engage students in addressing real-world challenges by learning and applying geoscience knowledge. To improve their designs, students benefit from frequent and informative feedback as they iterate. However, teacher attention may…

In this dissertation, the author presents two projects regarding teaching strategies that apply to an intelligent tutoring system (ITS). The author applied multiple-solution teaching methods to the ITSs. The first project is an ITS that aims to help college students learn how to use Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) software, FreeCAD ITS. The second…
