We tested whether ChatGPT can play a role in designing field courses in higher education. In collaboration with ChatGPT, we developed two field courses; the first aimed at creating a completely new field trip, while the second was tailored to fit an existing university module, and then compared to the human module design. From our case studies,…

As education is a global concern, utilising educational technology to facilitate teaching and learning activities has been widely practised almost everywhere at every minute for decades. Revisiting the historical development of a particular technology is noteworthy to education practitioners, historians and various interested parties. Concerning…

Given a rapidly evolving disinformation environment, many initiatives are currently being developed to counter the harmful impacts of disinformation. The aim of this study is to explore how an SMS intervention, as a hitherto untested modality for raising awareness of disinformation with promising potential and wide reach, could boost media…

Perspective-taking, which is important for communication and social activities, can be cultivated through joint actions, including musical activities in children. We examined how rhythmic activities requiring coordination affect perspective-taking in a referential communication task with 100 Chinese 4- to 6-year-old children. In Study 1, 5- to…

Providing quality hands-on exercises in a GIS course is essential in enhancing problem-solving skills and student-led learning activities. However, the strategies and instructional methods of managing hands-on exercises, which have been used in traditional face-to-face classes, will require new interpretations in a virtual learning environment and…

This team of authors collaborated to transform a middle school-focused informal STEM learning experience to a virtual platform that engaged students in authentic STEM learning experiences while simultaneously promoting discourse.

The use of artificial intelligence in education is accepted as one of the important discussion topics of the recent period. Artificial intelligence, which can be used actively in all areas of social life, can also be actively used in education. At this point, the relationship between artificial intelligence and education should be evaluated in the…

The present study aims to highlight the librarians' perception pertaining to the implementation of Virtual Reference Service (VRS) in the Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster Institutions (CRIKC). The study is based on a sample drawn from librarians of the CRIKC libraries. To assess and evaluate the librarians' perception regarding…

This article discusses a pedagogical technique for utilizing breakout rooms for small group discussions and synchronous drawing features in Zoom to create crowdsourced solutions to mathematical problems that involve graphing or visualization. Students begin with specific examples and then move quickly to the development of a more general…

Purpose. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of community college students who engaged in face-to-face and virtual academic counseling sessions in terms of which mode maximizes their potential for achieving their desired educational outcome. Methodology. This study used a phenomenological design to…

This practical guide to multimedia in online college instruction provides easy-to-follow instructions for designing multimedia assignments that maximize student learning while reducing cognitive load. This book presents the learning process as a complex, multidimensional experience that includes texts as well as auditory and visual elements. Each…

Background: A volitional help sheet (VHS) is an intervention for promoting implementation intentions. This study was the first to test the effectiveness of a VHS for increasing university students' lecture attendance. Aims: To develop a VHS to increase university students' lecture attendance and test its effectiveness at increasing the proportion…

The study of infant gaze has long been a key tool for understanding the developing mind. However, labor-intensive data collection and processing limit the speed at which this understanding can be advanced. Here, we demonstrate an asynchronous workflow for conducting violation-of-expectation (VoE) experiments, which is fully "hands-off"…

This paper explores the transformative potential of integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly ChatGPT, into second language (L2) writing pedagogy. The paper begins by examining the evolution of L2 writing pedagogy and highlighting the strengths and limitations of each. It then discusses the integration of…

This multiple case analysis examines how AI ethics education's unique characteristics transform traditional e-learning approaches in synchronous and asynchronous environments. Through analysis of two contrasting cases -- Loyola Marymount University's synchronous workshops and Usher and Barak's asynchronous module -- the study investigates how…
