This was intended to protect students from online threats and self-harm during the COVID-19 pandemic, which…

This study explores generative mechanisms of curriculum design from a human-centred perspective, with a focus on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into engineering education. As curricula evolve to meet the demands of a technologically advanced and globally connected society, it is crucial to preserve the educational values rooted in…

Research on educational technology (EdTech) integration has extensively explored determinants; however, strategies remain underexamined. Existing models predominantly focus on identifying the determinants of technology adoption yet fail to offer systemic frameworks for sustainable EdTech integration. This study bridges that gap by investigating…
