The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and its increasing societal impacts have turned many computing educators' focus toward early education in machine learning (ML). Limited options for educational tools for teaching novice learners about the mechanisms of ML and data-driven systems presents a recognized challenge in K-12 computing…

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…

The integration of immersive technologies, such as 360-degree virtual reality (VR) in education presents a promising avenue for enhancing teaching and learning. However, educators often face challenges due to limited technical expertise and resource constraints. This study examined the usability and readiness of educators in adopting the 360 VR…

Most research on anonymity in computer-supported collaborative learning, which has reported both positive and negative outcomes, largely focuses on a fully anonymous login mode. In this context, further research is necessary to finetune the approach to the 'login mode' to optimise the potential benefits while mitigating the drawbacks. This study…

Ray tracing is a computer graphics technique used to produce realistic visuals by physically simulating the behavior of light. Although this technique can be described straightforwardly, fully comprehending it might be challenging. It is typically taught in the classroom using the 2-D formats, such as paper or a blackboard. We propose using…

3D-printing (3DP) is a rapidly evolving sector and is advancing at an unmatched pace. Integrating digital-based approaches to disseminate knowledge within institutional curricula is crucial for mainstreaming knowledge. This work explores the development of a virtual lab (VL) for additive manufacturing (AM), using an interactive VL simulator. The…

This meta-synthesis study examines the use of digital assessment tools in education, focusing on their prevalence, benefits, limitations, and recommendations for effective integration into teaching processes. Based on 41 empirical studies published between December 2012 and January 2023, this study follows the thematic synthesis approach proposed.…

This novel qualitative study explores the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in augmenting Computer-Based Training (CBT) for energy industry contractors. By immersing participants in four VR simulations, the study delves into the heart of how learners perceive hazardous work environments and emergency procedures in VR. The findings…

AR-supported instruction has been verified to improve students' problem-solving skills. This study investigated 1041 university students and developed an empirical research model that combined technology acceptance, self-regulation, and AR-supported learning effectiveness with the structural equation model (SEM). At the same time, content analysis…

Recent findings suggest that adding a visual depiction of a nose to virtual reality displays (virtual nose) can reduce motion sickness. If so, this would be a simple intervention that could improve the experience of a variety of VR applications. However, only one peer-reviewed study has reported a benefit from a virtual nose, and the effect was…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a tessellation-based instructional program supported by digital technologies for enhancing geometric learning in primary school pupils. Background: Digital education offers various benefits, including increased motivation and engagement, and has been shown to be effective in teaching…

Understanding part-whole relations is crucial in early mathematics education. However, both analogue and digital learning environments often lack systematic approaches to foster part-whole understanding. With the rising popularity of educational apps, it is essential to evaluate how they implement learning of part-whole relations. Accordingly,…

Cloud-hosted services are being increasingly used in hosting business and scientific applications due to cost-effectiveness, scalability, and ease of deployment. To facilitate rapid development, change and release process of cloud-hosted applications, the area of development and operations (DevOps) is fast evolving. It is necessary to train the…

Incorporating virtual reality (VR) technology into training environments has been effective as it allows training to remain safe, efficient, and meaningful. Welding training is no exception, with research highlighting benefits such as decreased welder anxiety, increased cost- and time-efficiency, reduction in material usage, and advanced levels of…

Previous research showed that the parents acknowledged the technology's benefits for their young children's learning, however, they are still worried about the extended screen time, lack of physical activity and lack of social interactions. To address these concerns, we developed Kid Space to enable pedagogically appropriate technology use for…
