Virtual reality (VR) has gained prominence and a growing prevalence. However, parental attitudes toward using VR for educational purposes (i.e., educational VR (EVR)) are under-researched. This study investigates parents' perceptions and experiences regarding the use of EVR, focussing on mathematics learning. Using the technology acceptance model…

Educational Technologies (EdTech) and Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) are established fields of academic research with the potential to transform educational practices and outcomes. Yet, they are currently facing several problems that undermine their efficacy and relevance. In this discussion paper, we examine recurrent complaints of…

The article described the study of possibilities and prospects of teaching dance choreographic skills in a virtual educational environment. The researchers compared the educational achievements in the control and experimental groups and determined the influence of additional educational practices in the virtual interactive dance online studio…

Many interventions that "work" in small-scale trials often fail at scale, highlighting the centrality of effective scaling for realizing the promise of evidence-based policy. We study the scaling of a personalized adaptive learning (PAL) software that was highly effective in a small-scale trial. We adapt the PAL implementation for…

In parallel to web evolution from 1.0 to 4.0 with trends to 5.0, e-learning has evolved to smart learning (SmL). E-courses are pedagogically designed and implemented using web technologies to provide smart learning affordances (SLAs). By following research-based design methodology, this study investigates the effectiveness of web technologies…

This paper examines the evolution and characteristics of technological myths surrounding educational technologies (EdTech) in the Spanish media over the past decade, focusing on the case of MOOCs by analysing the representation of MOOCs in mainstream during the 2010s through qualitative discourse analysis of articles published in newspapers during…

This research focuses on the application of multimedia technology and the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm in university vocal music teaching. This model provides students with multi-dimensional learning experiences and targeted feedback. Experimental results show that students in the experimental group using this new model have significantly…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has generated significant interest within the educational sector, particularly in information technology (IT) education. This study explored the current challenges, opportunities, and future directions of AI in IT education in the Philippines, a nation working to enhance its educational system…

Conversational user interfaces (CUI), including voice interfaces, which allow users to converse with computers via voice, are gaining wide popularity. VoiceBots allow users to receive a response in real-time, regardless of the communication device. VoiceBots have been explored in fields such as customer service to automate repetitive queries and…

This study aims to explore the implications of using AI-generative tools (tools for generative AI (GAI)) in teaching and learning practices in higher education settings. This exploratory study employs a mixed-methods approach. Data was collected through focus-group discussions, participants' reflections and questionnaires. The participants of this…

Virtual Reality has the potential to transform educational experiences. This evolution, from the earliest days of projecting and viewing stereoscopic static images to the immersive headset experiences possible today, allows VR to transport students to new locations, enable them to participate in virtual spaces and simulations, and design 3-D…

In recent years, the flipped classroom model has garnered significant attention in education, marking a shift from conventional teaching methods to a more student-centered approach. This systematic review delves into the implementation of flipped classrooms and their influence on educational environments. The focus is on effective teaching…

Numerous studies highlight that the high adoption rates of e-learning management systems (e-LMSs) are not necessarily matched by their actual use among students in sub-Saharan African higher education. Nevertheless, factors such as perceived behavioral control of e-LMS, teaching activities in e-LMS, administrative activities in e-LMS, and…

In recent years, the integration of gamification into educational settings has garnered significant attention as a means to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. By leveraging gamified elements such as points and leaderboards, educators aim to promote active participation, motivation and deeper understanding among students. This study…

Teachers and students rely more on online-learning environments than ever before, including open, trusted and high-quality online learning resources produced by public broadcasters. For educators, this represents both an inspiration and challenge in the wake of new techologies and online learning environments. This article is a case study of one…
