The digitalization of schools not only affects students but also teachers, parents and school authorities. This raises various questions. Central question is the extent to which digitization is to be implemented. However, it is also important to understand what problems occur and what priorities need to be set for digitalization. A continuum…

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 use of educational data mining and machine learning to analyse large data sets collected by educational institutions has the potential to discover valuable insights for decision-making. One such area that has gained attention is to predict student performance by analysing large educational data sets. In the relevant literature, many studies…

Psychomotor skill training has traditionally relied on the physical presence of both teacher and learner for effective demonstrations and feedback, posing challenges for remote and self-directed learning. Technological advancements have given rise to immersive learning environments (ILEs), offering novel solutions for interactive and multimodal…

This paper explores the challenges and first experiences of implementing federated virtual learning management within the European University Alliance "Unite!". Through the lens of Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), the study investigates the complexities inherent in connecting Learning Management Systems (LMS) across diverse…

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…

Climate change is a pressing global challenge for humanity, which should be adequately represented in the educational system. However, teachers face a significant challenge due to the vast amount of data and information about climate change available in the media. We aimed to identify aspects that affect teachers' acceptance of technology in…

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised contentious questions and spawned divided opinions regarding the future of education. The polarization it brings to the academy seems to be breaking between the soft and hard disciplines and is reminiscent of the Science Wars of the 1990s. This chapter highlights the philosophical…

The proliferation of digital learning platforms has revolutionized the generation, accessibility, and dissemination of educational resources, fostered collaborative learning environments and producing vast amounts of interaction data. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing these complex datasets, uncovering…

There is a knowledge gap in tracing and analyzing historical records (e.g., annual or bi-annual) of educational technology, particularly, exploring emerging technology trends and their uptake in education. This study addresses this gap by reviewing technology adoption in education, based on bibliometric and content analyses of EDUCAUSE Horizon…

While the significance of motivation in the adoption of mobile learning has been well-documented in numerous studies, empirical evidence regarding the roles of cognitive, social, and affective needs remains limited. This presents a notable gap in the field of education concerning the influence of motivational factors on mobile learning acceptance.…

This study explores the transformation of teaching and assessment methods in the context of media applications, particularly the rise of E-learning and blended teaching driven by rapid ICT advancements. These changes necessitate updates in teachers' teaching and assessment literacies to align with modern educational trends. This adaptation is…

Background/purpose: Blended learning can be an effective solution for improving the quality of education. The research problem lies in the lack of interest among a number of Iraqi university professors in improving blended learning in universities, as well as the lack of interest among students in developing and implementing blended learning in…

In online distance learning, the lack of interaction between teacher and student can raise a significant drawback that hinders social connection and belonging. Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of humanized online teaching in enhancing social presence and teacher-student relationships. In this regard, this study used a narrative…

This study examined the ecological challenges teachers faced in integrating Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) among 159 in-service Hong Kong EFL teachers from 2019 to 2024. Analysis of 470 entries revealed that 50% of the challenges stem from "exo-system factors" (e.g., heavy workloads), 23% were from "macro-system…
