This article examines how shadow education is changing with digital platforms. Using the case of Egyptian education, it argues that digital learning platforms and social media platforms are profoundly penetrating Egypt's private tutoring landscape in a process of platformization. Rather than adding an online type of tutoring to an already-existing…

Based on action learning, we propose a new use of digital story telling (DST) in sustainability in management education (SiME). Using thematic analysis (TA), we analyze a set of 63 student generated DST films on the Anthropocene to propose an experiential learning framework based on five key learning domains: the Planetary Boundaries, scale issues…

Creative assessments hold the potential to counter outcome-oriented and utilitarian approaches to teaching, characteristic of neoliberal academia. This paper explores the potentialities of digital stories as one form of creative assessment that may help rupture normative ways of teaching-learning and engaging with affective pedagogies. The authors…

This discussion paper reflects on the affordances of face-to-face interaction and copresence in the light of increasingly digitized learning spaces in higher education. Especially in inequitable contexts, heightened dependence on digital platforms for teaching and learning can exacerbate inequalities in terms of student access and inclusion. This…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift from traditional face-to-face instruction to online learning. We analyze how this shift has affected learning outcomes, using a rich data set from a financial literacy training of schoolteachers in Armenia. Online training worked well for relatively simple skills (acquiring theoretical financial knowledge)…

Participation rate in adult and continuing education (ACE) is one of the multiple indicators of distributive justice.

Expansive paradigm that envisages the progressive and generalised development of participation rate in ACE is examined in this…

Department chairs are crucial in impacting departmental climate, conveying expectations, and providing merit assessments. Therefore, they have the most influence in retaining highly qualified faculty. Most department chairs come from the faculty ranks and lack formal training in key management, communication, and administrative skills, including…

Digital learning platforms (DLPs) can transform educational research by serving as infrastructure that bridges the gap between practice and research. This white paper examines the progress of DLPs in SEERNet, a multi-year initiative funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), which aims to advance research infrastructure. Through…

In exploring critical practices that center Black girls, families, youth, and communities, along with emancipatory literacies and perspectives, we argue for an intentional focus on understanding the pivotal role of "the digital" in these spaces. Specifically, in this article, we examine how Black youth (specifically Black girls) engage…

For online doctoral students, learning the habits, cultures, and practices of the academy can be particularly challenging without informal, in-person interactions. As novice scholars and educators, engagement in the culture of the academy is an important component of the scholarly formation process. In this conceptual article, three online…

In this article, we explore the process of creating spaces for the practice and inquiry of transformative listening through the development of the Transformative Listening Protocol (TLP). Our premise is that embodied listening opens doors to transformations via a process to improve listening and safe spaces where people may engage with each other…

The COVID-19 pandemic creates physical barriers and raises issues about online learning and course design. These must be overcome in order to continue teaching three English language support papers in a transnational education programme. This autoethnography explores online communication strategies and their effect on students' learning…

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…

Personal narratives can be seen as iterative theories-of-valued-selves: thick, deliberate outlines traced over and selectively enhancing and obscuring the finer details of life as lived. Through telling such stories we represent and orient ourselves towards certain potential actions while turning away from others. Biographical narration is in this…
