Adaptive learning technologies (ALTs) provide teachers with student data in teacher dashboards (TDs). However, there is substantial variation in dashboard use among teachers, and many find it difficult to draw conclusions based on student data. Teachers' skills, knowledge, and contextual conditions are believed to be essential in effective…

The sustainable development of Internet education platforms has not been a research focus due to the continuous renewal of artificial intelligence, big data, and policies across different countries and regions. To address this gap, this paper utilizes bibliometric analysis and visualization tools to analyze the development of online education…

Educational dashboards are increasingly prevalent visualising technologies that display data from educational processes to help learners and educators track learning pathways, alert for deviations, and make interventions. This study contributes to critical studies on data visualisations in education by examining dashboards in higher distance…

In the swiftly changing realm of education, technology serves as a key instrument in transforming the methods of teaching, learning experiences, and educational outcomes. Legal and governance issues, integral to maintaining order and justice in societies, are equally pertinent in the realm of education. The digital age introduces concerns like…

The COVID pandemic highlighted the increasing deployment of digital technologies in educational institutions, defined as 'edtech'. The most visible edtech was video conferencing software, but a swathe of edtech startups have sought to roll out their products and services to educational institutions. We focus specifically on the deployment of…

This article examines contemporary educational practices within the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence. We do so by analysing the relationship between artificiality and naturalness in education. Education, often characterized as a human and thus natural-historical phenomenon, now appears increasingly shaped by artificial…

It has been acknowledged that global challenges are in the way of delivering responsible innovation, as reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals -- a set of strategic objectives formulated by the United Nations General Assembly, to promote environmentally, societally, and economically-sustainable development. Design higher education has an…

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has mostly focused on issues associated with teaching and assessment. In this paper I used AI to support the analysis of data which consisted of public comments on a newspaper article. This small, low risk research was chosen to demonstrate the potential use of AI and how it may support…

Without regulations for higher education institutions in the metaverse, ethical transgressions are unavoidable. Educational metaverse systems, which integrate artificial intelligence, essentially depend on big data as their core technology, leading to considerable privacy issues. Therefore, this study examines data privacy and security issues, a…

Despite efforts to implement innovative approaches such as flipped learning leveraging computer technology, the challenge of student failure persists. Understanding the factors that contribute to student success in flipped engineering courses remains a critical issue. This study addresses this issue by investigating the impact of student…

Early Warning Systems (EWS) are research-based analytics that use statistical models to assess dropout risk. School leaders use this analytic to consolidate data about a student and provide actionable data to craft an intervention. Little is currently known about the processes involved in school implementation or data use. By analyzing Montana EWS…

This special issue article explores the role of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the data analysis phase of academic research degrees, focusing on its adoption by research students in master's and doctor of philosophy programmes in the business and management disciplines, as viewed through the lens of research supervisors. A…

This study explores the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into qualitative research within a higher education context. Through a collaborative self-study, a doctoral candidate and their dissertation supervisor examined the application of Google's Gemini 1.5 to analyze interview data from a dissertation of practice (DiP)…

Instructional leadership is a complex dimension, which requires that principals possess expertise in goal setting, leading the instructional program, and creating the conditions for a successful school environment. Effective instructional leaders manage the instructional program by planning, coordinating, and evaluating the work of teachers and…

It is very important to identify talented students as soon as they are admitted to college so that appropriate resources are provided and allocated to them to optimize and excel in their education. Currently, this process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, as it involves manual reviews of each student's academic record. This raises the…
