In many general education classrooms across the world, educators struggle to meet the educational needs of twice-exceptional and multi-exceptional neurodivergent learners, with their confluence of exceptional strengths and exceptional challenges. This article reports the process, findings, and implications of research that implemented a series of…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have grown in popularity since 2008 but suffer from low completion rates, as low as 2%. This study examines how designing MOOCs with consideration of cognitive load can improve retention and learning outcomes, particularly for adult learners such as educators. Employing a design-based research methodology, five…

Experiential learning through active exploration can play a vital role in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills in engineering education. However, the complex nature of the construction industry in the 21st century cannot afford an education through trial and error in a real environment. This case study aims to promote…

Personas, initially originated in user experience research, are short and simplified representations of particular user groups, and this methodological approach has recently gained ground in educational research. This study aims to explore aspects of personas that may be beneficial for prospective mathematics teachers when they develop digital…

This study seeks to explore the impact of learning scenarios on pre-service science teachers' (PSSTs) perceptions of constructivist learning and their dispositions toward instructional technologies. Adopting a single-group pretest-posttest experimental design, a quantitative research methodology was employed. The participants consisted of…

This nonexperimental predictive correlational research study examined the impact of ongoing professional development, hands-on training, practical scenario-based learning, post-training support materials, and one-on-one coaching on educators' ability to adopt, maintain competency, and effectively use digital tools. The study analyzed the…

This book provides another perspective to the way educators think about and use educational technologies in secondary and tertiary classrooms. Technology in learning settings has often been used in cautious ways, typically replicating existing, non-technological educational processes. This book proposes that educators be more ambitious with the…

Training based on Virtual Reality (VR) has reached a level of maturity that renders it applicable in many industries. By moving through learner interaction and representational fidelity, from navigable to interactable VR learning environments, the relationships between trainees, VR technology, and the world that trainees experience change. These…

As a part of the DiMPAH-project, the authors have developed an open educational resource (OER) on netnography. In this paper, the OER is presented and critically discussed as the broader problem identified during course-development is made explicit and explored through two research questions: 1) How can an OER be designed that positions…

Technology can play a pivotal role in mathematics education. Qualitative methods were used to report on how a Year 1-2 teacher incorporated "Conveyance technology" (iPads), to support the teaching and learning of mathematics through student reasoning and problem-solving. The study was conducted in Australia. A single case was chosen,…

This study aims to evaluate the teaching of the programming process carried out through scenarios related to daily life within the framework of Reverse Engineering and the Theory of Didactical Situations. The sample of the study consists of 15 prospective computer and instructional technology education teachers. Quantitative and qualitative data…

This article develops four school education scenarios to help educators consider the role of digital technologies in future teaching and to provoke discussion of how education might be done differently. The context for these scenarios is a world shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of education scenarios is a useful device for thinking…

Many specialists have put out a call to action for more specialized training in L2 pronunciation pedagogy, as many language educators are ill-equipped to meet the instructional demands that pronunciation teaching requires (Foote et al., 2011; Henderson et al., 2015; Murphy, 2014, 2017). While language teacher professional development has started…

To develop expertise, novice chemistry students require deliberate practice with immediate and thoughtful feedback. Whereas opportunities for practice are often abundant, opportunities for feedback tend to be much scarcer. To address this challenge, we collaborated with students to develop a flexible and scalable online platform called…

This narrative imagines the future of education through three vignettes, each of which describes a community of learners exploring artifacts from the past even as they learn together in the present. Scenarios trace the experiences of Eden, who was born in 2012, and her involvement with learning and educational institutions. Threaded through…
