The use of artificial intelligence is growing, but it's unclear how much it is expanding human knowledge. Peter W. Cookson Jr. discusses the potential of AI use for learning. He suggests that humans learn by making connections in ways that AI cannot replicate. The kinds of experiences that promote these connections require students to experiment…

Curriculum and professional standards mandate that digital technologies are used in schooling, and consequently, universities are required to prepare pre-service teachers for this in initial teacher education degrees. In response, one Australian university developed an inquiry-based collaborative approach, called creative inquiry. Feedback from…

There has been a policy push in K-12 educational settings towards personalized learning in the last decade. Commercial platforms and learning designers have responded, offering learning tools to support teaching and learning through data-driven insights and recommendations. Trending towards the augmentation or replacing human teachers with…

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has been significantly propelled by developments in generative AI tools, which hold considerable promise for transforming teaching and assessment methodologies. This paper explores the distinctive opportunities and challenges associated with the incorporation of generative…

This viewpoint article argues that there is an urgent need to reform the project-based EdTech approach in order to allow EdTech to contribute to the resilience of education systems in the aftermath of COVID-19. Looking at the contrast between the multiplication of EdTech pilot projects presented as a necessary step in a process that will…

This paper explores the transformative potential of Large Language Models Artificial Intelligence (LLM AI) in educational contexts, particularly focusing on the innovative practice of prompt engineering. Prompt engineering, characterized by three essential components of content knowledge, critical thinking, and iterative design, emerges as a key…

Conventional team-based learning (TBL) uses a paper-based system to deliver a team-quiz component of the instructional method. We observed the use of this paper-based system in various settings and identified it could be challenging in a large classroom. Challenges include distributing paper answer cards, time to grade them, and additional…

Project Tomorrow's Speak Up® Research reports have advocated for a broader definition of the digital divide to include access challenges at home and the obstacles K-12 students face in gaining access to high quality digital tools and resources to support classroom learning. Project Tomorrow, in collaboration with Spectrum Business, is creating a…

In the 2023-24 Speak Up Research facilitated by Project Tomorrow®, 75% of high school students and 66% of middle school students say their principal use of technology in class is to complete an online quiz or assessment. While online testing provides many benefits to educators and schools in terms of efficiency and potentially greater access to…

Purpose: This paper aims to present a practical guide for designing effective synchronous online teaching to support student engagement. Design/methodology/approach: This practical guide was developed by drawing insights from literature and our own practical experiences. Findings: This paper developed BEST principles (i.e., Building positive…

The research is focused on a comprehensive analysis of digitalization as a prerequisite for higher education modernization. The authors of this article consider the digital divide as a component of information inequality, which has a technological nature and presupposes unequal opportunities for access, use, and production of information and…

Trauma, such as from the COVID-19 pandemic, creates an inflection point for faculty to figure out how to connect with each other and students. Engagement and active learning trends are at the forefront of teaching pedagogy, as society embarks on post-pandemic learning. Faculty that have embraced Flipped Learning, as a trauma-informed pedagogical…

The advent of artificial intelligence and concerns over academic integrity have put instructors from every discipline on notice regarding the kinds of coursework we are assigning. But this is also a moment to deliver content in a manner that is clearer and more dynamic, use more active forms of learning, and improve the academic and professional…

This article reviews Conceptboard, a professional collaborative online whiteboard that can be used to enhance student engagement and collaboration, enable real-time group interaction, and promote active learning. What makes Conceptboard particularly relevant for management educators is its familiarity, flexibility, and versatility. It extends and…

With the advancement of digital technology, the roles of teachers and students are slowly changing. The classroom is on the verge of becoming a new, more open place, one with fewer barriers to the rest of society. Our purpose in this paper is to discuss how the creation of videos with mathematical content may contribute to this process of…
