The traditional curriculum design methods suffer from issues like outdated content and limited instructional approaches. To address these, this article proposes an optimized curriculum design system that integrates CAD and neural network models. This system enables intelligent curriculum content generation, introduces CAD-assisted instructional…

Over the last four to five years, I've increasingly been reflecting on the role of what were formerly referred to as offsite or pupil referral units. These are now subsumed within a more generic grouping known as alternative provision. My interest has been triggered by the recent publication of 'Alternative provision in local areas in England: a…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, yet its integration into education remains underutilized. This paper advocates for embedding AI tools in curriculum design to personalize learning experiences, address diverse student needs, and equip learners with future-ready skills. By leveraging AI's capabilities, educators can create…

Differentiated Instruction (DI) is a hot topic in educational research. Keeping abreast of its latest developments and frontiers can provide new perspectives for future study. Using CiteSpace software, 1086 publications included in the Web of Science core collection from 2000 to 2020 were analysed to create knowledge maps of DI research. The…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an important aspect of successful knowledge acquisition. Adaptive learning technology (ALT) is a form of educational technology that can improve SRL by offering learners personalized and timely support. Despite the potential of ALT to support SRL, its integration into schools' pedagogical practices remains a…

Educational technology plays an increasingly significant role in supporting Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), while the importance of Adaptive Learning Technology (ALT) grows due to its ability to provide personalized support for learners. Despite recognizing the potential of ALT to be influential in SRL, effectively addressing pedagogical concerns…

In recent years, many studies have highlighted the need to go beyond the "one-size-fits-all" gamification approach to tailored or personalised gamification to optimise students' engagement based on their user attributes. However, little is known about its effectiveness on student engagement. To advance the understanding of personalized…

Background: Learning analytics dashboards are increasingly being used to communicate feedback to learners. However, little is known about learner preferences for dashboard designs and how they differ depending on the self-regulated learning (SRL) phases the dashboards are presented (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection phases) and…

Japan, like many countries, is facing problems with an aging society, and lifelong learning is becoming more and more important. To provide older adults with the opportunity to enroll in lifelong learning programs, it is essential to offer suitable programs. However, designing learning programs for older adults is not easy because they may have…

This paper reports on a novel corequisite design and implementation for College Algebra at Florida International University. The corequisite course uses online, just-in-time, prerequisite assignments delivered on an open-educational platform. Students get help from near-peer learning assistants inside a math emporium environment. The course…

This study innovates English network teaching by applying a refined Association Rule Mining (ARM) algorithm. It integrates an "interest" parameter into ARM, dynamically adapting content to individual learners' profiles, improving engagement and outcomes. Controlled experiments, spanning diverse online platforms, validate the ARM model's…

Generative AI presents significant opportunities for instructional designers to create content and personalize online learning environments. Alongside its benefits, generative AI also poses ethical considerations and potential risks, such as perpetuating biases or disrupting the learning process. Navigating these complexities requires an approach…

This paper reviews the role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in transforming the landscape of educational game design. The recent rise and development of GenAI have expanded its applications in creating dynamic and interactive game systems. This review explores the potential of GenAI to craft personalized educational game designs that…

Instructors in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) have used problem-based learning (PBL) for a variety of purposes across academic levels. Problem-based learning offers a framework for considering and including student strengths. In this paper, the authors describe the development of a PBL with specific utility to an introductory CSD…

Calls to increase active learning, an approach that positions students in the center of their learning experience, have increased considerably in recent decades. In response, there has been substantial work to expand our understanding and implementation of active learning approaches in many educational spaces. However, much of this instructional…
