Background: Accessing research can be difficult for individuals with developmental language disorder (DLD) and their supporting networks (e.g., family, speech-language therapists, and teachers). This challenge may be attributable to the DLD community's difficulty with searching and paying for scientific research and the complexity of language used…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies can offer vast professional resources for teachers, empowering them to differentiate their practice, create curricular materials, and generate lesson plans for any topic. But should these novel tools to generate classroom activities and learning experiences be trusted? This study investigates…

Deep learning-based course recommendation systems often suffer from a lack of interpretability, limiting their practical utility for students and academic advisors. To address this challenge, we propose a modular, post-hoc explanation framework leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance the transparency of deep learning-driven…

Mastery learning -- requiring students to achieve proficiency in a topic before advancing -- is a well-established and effective teaching method. Digital learning systems support this approach by personalizing content sequences, enabling students to focus on practicing topics they have not yet mastered. To achieve this, digital learning systems…

Basic Needs Oregon was established in 2021 through House Bill 2835 to ensure that students enrolled at Oregon's public colleges and universities can meet their basic needs--including food, housing, health care, transportation, and emergency financial support--so they can persist and succeed in higher education. Drawing on Basic Needs Oregon…

Information and communication technology (ICT) can be effectively used in education and training to improve the quality of classroom learning, to encourage student creativity, to expand student collaboration and to introduce innovation to education rather than as a tool for delivering learning content. This document aims to determine and evaluate…

This study investigated similarities and differences in children's (N = 83, grades 4-6) narrative comprehension between text, audio, and non-verbal video, including measures of both comprehension products and processes. The aim was to understand how children engage with information across various media and, in doing so, address inconsistent…

Sudden teachers' transition to an online context has remarkably influenced their professional identity construction. However, little is known about the tensions English Language Teachers (ELTs) experience during this shift. The present study examined ELTs' identity tensions in online courses, the relevant coping strategies, teachers' TPACK level…

This case study investigated the development of AI literacy among novice educational researchers through an AI literacy course. AI literacy requires a high level of competence involving the ability to understand AI, use it effectively for specific tasks, evaluate and create AI, and exhibit ethical behavior in its use. The AI literacy course was…

In the current realm of education 4.0, teachers play a pivotal role as facilitators of holistic skill development. The shift in focus towards accentuating creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration (4C) skills signifies an acknowledgment of the changing demands brought about by the industrial revolution 4.0. This transformation…

This study is a partial extension of a British Council study conducted on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in English language teaching across many regions of the world. The British Council study can be found on ResearchGate. This current study investigates pre-service teachers' views on the role of artificial intelligence in English…

Technology-enhanced collaborative academic writing (TECAW) in higher education has gained increasing attention due to its potential to enhance students' academic writing skills through interaction, shared authorship, and structured pedagogical support. Framing collaborative academic writing (CAW) as a pedagogical process, this systematic…

Background/purpose: This study aims to address the limited availability of educational platforms for art appreciation among university students by developing the "Home Digital Art Spectacle" (HITS) as an online space for performing arts engagement. Materials/methods: The research employed the Borg & Gall R&D model, which involved…

Introduction: COVID-19 impacted care delivery in rehabilitation services including speech-language pathology. The purpose of this study was to examine speech-language pathologists'(SLPs) perspectives on the effectiveness of virtual care delivered during the pandemic in Canada, their experiences with therapy delivered virtually and their views on…

The rapid shift to remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic required widespread adoption of synchronous virtual modalities such as Zoom in higher education. This study directly compares student conceptual learning outcomes in two parallel sections of an introductory physics course--one taught face-to-face (F2F) and the other synchronously…
