Educator preparation, personalized learning (PL) implementation, and applications of Generative AI converge as three interrelated systems that, when carefully designed, can help achieve the long-sought goal of providing inclusive education for all learners. However, realizing this potential comes with challenges resulting from theoretical…

Although online teaching can be affected by a number of factors, ranging from the usage of broadband and digital equipment to the skills of users, teachers' digital literacy has been recognized as a key component that can impact the practices of online teaching considerably. This study takes Suzhou Singapore Industrial Park Foreign Language School…

This article explores the integration of ChatGPT into instructional design, utilizing a backward planning framework to align learning objectives, assessments, and activities for enhanced educational outcomes. Grounded in the principles of Understanding by Design (UbD) the paper introduces a threestep human-AI hybrid co-design model that enables…

Background: The role of virtual reality (VR) in education is increasing, which raises questions about VR learning in multi-user settings. While collaborative VR learning, characterised by shared goals and low division of labour, is well-researched, cooperative VR learning, which emphasises role differentiation and task interdependence, remains…

Virtual escape rooms (ERs) require learners to solve puzzles and answer riddles while trying to "escape" a digital room. Although the educational merit of such gamified learning activities continues to be realized, guides on the development of ERs are lacking, as well as student perceptions on how, if, and where they should be integrated…

This study compares the self-reported attitudes and beliefs of materials designers at a private English language school in Thailand regarding Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) with their practice of materials design for speaking and listening classes. Twenty sets of previously-created English teaching materials were submitted for…

This study investigates how generative AI technologies influence pre-service teachers' pedagogical thinking and instructional design practices within a vocational education context. Drawing on a qualitative framework, the research engaged students in a task-based learning environment that integrated tools such as ChatGPT and image generators into…

This study aimed to design, develop, and validate the RSiSTEM framework, a robotics-based simulation learning model intended to foster students' problem-solving and systems thinking competencies within STEM education. The research followed a two-phase developmental design. In Phase 1, the framework was constructed through a systematic synthesis of…

This study investigates how generative AI technologies influence pre-service teachers' pedagogical thinking and instructional design practices within a vocational education context. Drawing on a qualitative framework, the research engaged students in a task-based learning environment that integrated tools such as ChatGPT and image generators into…

Capstone courses, where students work on a large group project at the end of their degree, are common in computing. Many accreditation and industry bodies explicitly require or recommend them. Over the past two decades, capstone courses specifically focused on game development have become increasingly popular. Game development offers students the…

Purpose: The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education have significantly impacted learning, teaching and assessment practices. This development has raised critical questions about necessary changes to learning design and traditional assessment methods for a society where GenAI becomes…

Efforts to realize the potential of learning analytics (LA) to contribute to improving student learning and learning design have brought important advances. A review of successful cases of learning analytics applications reveals that: (1) there is a tight coupling between the learning outcome (LO) goals, task sequence design, and the learning…

The work presented in this paper examines part of a broader issue in the field of technology-enhanced learning and focused on Massive Open Online Courses environments (MOOC). The main goal is to provide an approach, models and tools to assist teachers in the scenario design process and the operationalization of pedagogical scenarios in a…

This chapter describes a cross-disciplinary peer teaching consulting program and how graduate student programs and consultant training activities are integrated and aligned around core areas of practice.

The authors present insights from the creation of an "Industry Liaison" (IL) role in a graduate program in Instructional Technology. An analysis of learner questions posed to practicing designers showed masters candidates' concerns fell into four areas: rejections and acceptance in the workplace, career logistics, technological skills,…
