The paper aims to…

The digitisation of the world has led to a multitude of far-reaching implications that require students to be prepared for the dynamic era of rapid change, complexity, fluidity, and ubiquity in which they will work at the forefront of technology. To succeed in this environment, students must be able to design and implement digital innovations…

The traditional educational approaches in art classrooms have increasingly fallen short of addressing the needs of learners in an era marked by rapid technological advancements. Augmented reality (AR), as a leading representative of these emerging technologies, has recently been integrated into traditional educational methods, repeatedly…

The paper considers digital tutoring platforms as commercial products in the shadow education sector. In particular, it focuses on relatively new platforms which purportedly act as tutors themselves: web-based learning software providing "intelligent tutoring systems.' The question is not how effective and beneficial these platforms are for…

Many pedagogical counsellors (PCs) are destabilised by the resistance, in various forms, that novice teachers display during their counselling sessions. It is in this context that we propose TGRIS, a peer-training method, with a virtual reality interview simulator, designed to help PCs become aware of their own emotions, and deal with them, when…

The theatrical show represents the most employed arts in other arts and of the most experienced arts that have gone through stations and transformations of technical and artistic development alike, most of which are in search of methods and mechanisms to form new spaces for theatrical performances for what characterizes the theatrical space as a…

Technological determinism, techno-solutionism and instrumental perspectives on technologies have populated educational research literature in the last decades, and even more since the pandemic crisis has started.

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…

Educational innovations with emerging technologies often disregard the potential historical and cultural damage of those technologies, which further disenfranchises Indigenous communities from a fruitful relationship with them. This is especially true for narrative-based digital technologies, because storytelling is held as a sacred practice of…

In this Point of Departure, we will present six key concepts, grouped into the following three dimensions which are salient for incorporating a cyberfeminist perspective into online higher education: Critical technologies (Platform capitalism and Digital gender gaps), Gendered gazes (Digital gender-based violence and Safer spaces) and…

Children's digital media can now be characterized as an environment or space in which children interact with others (e.g., via videochat), learn new concepts (e.g., via educational content), or play and explore (e.g., through games and browsers). As such, it is important for caregivers, researchers, and policymakers to evaluate digital design in…

Can a building's ornamentation grow and change? Can it inspire artists, educators, and other scholars to be creative in new ways? In this article, the authors, an instructional faculty team of two studio art professors and the fine arts librarian at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), describe how its collection of Louis H. Sullivan…

While teachers often monitor and adjust their learning design based on students' emotional states in physical classrooms, synchronous online environments often limit their ability to perceive the emotional climate of the class. Drawing from the concept of social translucence, it is suggested that making students' emotional states…
