Numerous studies have explored the intricacies of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education, predominantly focusing on developed countries. However, there is a notable gap in examining the hindrances and untapped potential of AI implementation in the higher education sector within the South Asian Global South countries. This study aims to…

Despite the growing interest in AI for language assessment, there remains a significant research gap regarding its usefulness for assessing less proficient language skills, particularly those of learners of English as a second or foreign language (S/FL). AI models often prioritize proficient writing, neglecting the intricacies of learner language.…

This paper proposes an updated framework for the evaluation of the computer-assisted language learning (CALL) framework, further developed from Chapelle (2001) and González-Lloret and Ortega (2014). Based on a review of prominent previous CALL evaluation frameworks, an exploration of relevant literature in formal evaluation and my own first-hand…

Immersive learning plays a crucial role in effective second language (L2) acquisition, but many learners face limited opportunities to interact with native speakers. While existing research highlights the importance of immersion in L2 learning, there is still a gap in understanding how Generative AI (GenAI) can provide greater access to such…

Virtual Reality (VR) is gradually integrating into classroom teaching, emerging as a new trend in educational development in the era of artificial intelligence. Desktop virtual reality stands out due to its lower cost and greater convenience. To elucidate the effectiveness of desktop virtual reality in learning, this paper employs a meta-analysis…

Virtual reality (VR) learning is believed to increase focus, engagement, and emotional connection. To that end, we developed an immersive business case study in VR to teach essential business concepts. This paper outlines the process we followed to develop and launch the case in the hope that other institutions can use our process as a blueprint…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly and reshaping how educators manage their time, how students access academic assistance and mental health support, and how districts define what's possible. AI has the potential to transform the education delivery model and address learning gaps--but without more support, guidance, and resources, it…

Expansive Framing (EF) is a theory and an instructional technique to facilitate connections between content and contexts. We employed EF as an approach to create a series of integrated mathematics and computer science (CS) lessons, using digital technology as a tool to leverage shared mathematical and computational ideas. We used deductive…

Mastering correct pronunciation is crucial for effective Spanish language learning and communication. However, many existing language learning resources lack adequate coverage of pronunciation guidance and feedback mechanisms. This study aims to address this gap by developing SpanishBot, an innovative chatbot designed to facilitate the learning of…

Education 4.0 has emerged as a response to the Industrial Revolution 4.0, focusing on integrating technology into learning to support digital transformation and enhancing 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and collaboration. While technology provides convenience, it also challenges students to develop…

Background and context: Pair programming and oral exams were deployed in tandem in a remote undergraduate computer programming course to promote social interaction and enhance learning. Objectives: We investigate their impact on social interactions, sense of connection, academic performance, and academic integrity within a virtual learning…

This study explores how English language teachers use shared repertoire in virtual communities of practice (VCoPs) when integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into teaching. Using a qualitative analysis of discussions from three open Facebook groups, this study identifies how teachers actively collaborate online to share practical…

The increasing demand for a diverse pool of computing talent combined with a persistent shortage of skilled workers has engendered a need to support students pursuing Computer Science (CS) careers. Students often cite social isolation and lack of support as reasons for withdrawing from computing programs. This is especially true for those from…

Second language (L2) writing research has demonstrated that young learners discuss linguistic issues, make use of feedback, and show a generally positive disposition toward writing tasks. However, many issues deserve further investigation. Regarding task implementation, few studies have been conducted with young learners writing individually, and…

Conjecture formulation is crucial to mathematics education. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate challenges prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) encounter when using GeoGebra to formulate geometrical conjecture. A qualitative case study was conducted with an exploratory strategy to provide a complete comprehension of the occurrence. Six…
