The HyFlex course has been widely adopted in higher education settings. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies examining students' acceptance of large-scale HyFlex courses, as well as factors influencing their acceptance. To fill this research gap, the present study investigated students' acceptance of a large-scale HyFlex course and the…

This review examines the design and configuration of AI-powered 21st-century classrooms to align with modern pedagogical approaches. The objective was to identify the main characteristics of innovative classroom design through a systematic literature review analysing 90 articles from the Scopus database. The SPAR-4-SRL protocol guided the…

With the ever-expanding role of technology in schools, many teachers have participated in one-time, stand-alone workshops to learn how to use a new program, app, or other tool. While that may provide a helpful introduction to the basics and highlight inspirational examples of what the tool can do, it doesn't often translate into teachers applying…

This paper investigates the process of designing HyFlex classrooms at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), a graduate-level research university located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, underpinned by the application of the EDUCAUSE Learning Space Rating System (LSRS). This investigation takes the form of a…

Several studies have focused on the educational effectiveness of technology, with many institutions providing solutions to the classroom and virtual technology integration and implementation barriers. It is essential to eliminate barriers to technological integration. More importantly, stakeholders are responsible for identifying these obstacles…

In today's schools, the ability to integrate technology into the teaching and learning environment is a necessary and crucial skill. Many K-12 classroom environments are technology-rich, with 1:1 devices, blended learning, and even distance instruction taking place.

The term "Smart Classroom" has evolved over time and nowadays reflects the technological advancements incorporated in educational spaces. The rapid advances in technology, and the need to create more efficient and creative classes that support both in-class and remote activities, have led to the integration of Artificial Intelligence and…

We explored how furnishings and technology impact pedagogical agility and student engagement across three flexible learning spaces. We collected various kinds of data from faculty and students teaching and learning in multiple classrooms, such as focus group interviews with students, faculty responses to reflection prompts, and pre- and…

The potential for technologies to transform health and physical education (HPE) has received increasing international attention in both policy and academic contexts. However, what is absent from much of this work is a lack of appreciation of the spatial dimension that recognises the relationship between "how" young people use digitised…

The integration of technology in education is essential for enhancing learning experiences and preparing students for a technology-driven world. However, many teachers lack the necessary skills and confidence to effectively incorporate technology into their classroom practices. This paper investigates the impact of technology-related professional…

This was a multi-method study employing pre- and post-course questionnaires and focus groups to explore nursing students' learning experiences with a technology-mediated learning approach guided by the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model in the course Gerontological Nursing. 144 undergraduate nursing students…

The research study provided an examination of the beliefs of K-12 teachers about the importance of technology integration to 21st Century classrooms. The objective was to uncover challenges that influence teachers' technology integration practices. The population for the study was 1500 teachers. The sample size was seven participants. An Excel…

When talking about digital resources in secondary education classrooms in the 21st Century, we must mention tools such as Mixed Reality (MR). However, we must not only have in mind the perspective and training of teachers on their use, but we must consider that the ecologies of the classroom are becoming increasingly diverse, thus demanding an…

Parents are important stakeholders in the educational experiences of their children. Their views about technology shape the perceptions students have about technology. These conceptions also shape how they view what should be happening in the K-12 classroom. Our study used an open-ended question survey to explore how parents view technology use in…

After a decade of adding technology to the classroom, students asking for a laptop ban sent me on a journey of discovery. After a literature review of existing research and a semester of a no-tech policy, I found less tech, not more increases student engagement and learning. Despite more than a dozen studies over the last decade detailing the…
