For this dissertation, Academic Support Technology (AST) is defined as any institutionalized technology activities and purchases that are performed in support of the instructional efforts of that institution. AST is the technology support that includes, but is not limited to, Student Information Systems, Learning Management Systems, Classroom…

This study aimed to explore how AI-based educational platforms can support personalized mathematics learning. The three prominent AI-based educational platforms for mathematics were analyzed using a framework based on four dimensions: source, target, time, and adaptation method. Specifically, this study focused on providing illustrative examples…

My biggest fear about teaching a social studies methods class with COVID restrictions was talking "at" my teacher candidates and not modeling interactive and engaging social studies education. Social studies education should be engaging and student-centered. In this article, I offer technological adaptations to lessons that center around…

Aim/Purpose: This study evaluated the e-learning experience of Saudi K-12 teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, it explored their perceptions of e-learning. It also investigated the teaching approaches and strategies, tools for facilitating e-learning, assessment tools, and social media used by teachers for communicating with…

This study investigates preschool teachers' considerations for including digital tools in science teaching to develop children's learning of science content. Due to the ongoing digitalisation and demands in society, the utilisation of digital tools has increased significantly in educational settings. Recent research about digital tools in early…

This book presents the selected papers of the 5th International Conference on Advance in Education and Information Technology (AEIT 2024), which was held in Nagoya, Japan, 2024 January 5-7. With a worldwide increase in technology-enhanced learning in school and industry settings, there has been a progressive increase in the implementation of new…

COVID-19 greatly increased the online delivery of higher education. But one limitation of online learning is that students often struggle to stay engaged while watching online lectures. We examined whether including an instructor's face in lecture videos (instructor visibility) enhances student engagement or learning. In two preregistered…

With the rapid development of information technology, the internet has emerged as a pivotal driving force in reshaping higher education paradigms. This paper delves into clustering algorithms and proposes an enhanced version, exploring how this enhanced clustering algorithm can be applied to blended teaching of digital electronic technology…

Context modeling is the keystone to enable the intelligent system to adapt its functionalities properly to different situations. As such, a representation mechanism that allows an adequate manipulation of this kind of information is required, and diverse approaches have been introduced; however, what takes more value and is being positioned as a…

Teaching educational robotics is of growing interest in K-12 settings. Yet, immense efforts are needed to move the field forward by framing the teaching of robotics with pedagogically sound theories as well as appropriate instructional design models and strategies. To meet this need, the authors designed and implemented an online educational…

Creative assessments hold the potential to counter outcome-oriented and utilitarian approaches to teaching, characteristic of neoliberal academia. This paper explores the potentialities of digital stories as one form of creative assessment that may help rupture normative ways of teaching-learning and engaging with affective pedagogies. The authors…

Field-based education is interactive, hands-on, and based on real world experience and methodology, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has faced special challenges. As many institutions may struggle to maintain this vital component of geographic education, this resource paper aims to illustrate the impacts of the pandemic and provide some…

The involvement of Augmented Reality (AR) in science learning has marked a significant change by transforming science learning into an exciting activity. Several systematic literature reviews (SLR) have been conducted to determine the trends in educational AR studies, the use of informal education in AR, AR's advantages and challenges, and the…

Purpose: Unprecedented progressions in the sector of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have led to the trendsetting of Education 4.0 paradigms. A byproduct of breakthroughs in Education 4.0 is the "Cybergogy" paradigm that particularly stimulates learning and builds competencies in a virtual environment for the new era.…

Despite the widespread use of whiteboard animations in both academic and informal settings, little evidence exists about their efficacy and impact on learner experiences, especially in non-STEM fields such as the social sciences. This study examined the effects of whiteboard animations against three other instructional formats on comprehension,…
