This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of using digital technology in English teaching in higher education. Transforming the teaching and learning process from face-to-face to online learning by utilising digital technology devices and internet connectivity becomes challenging for lecturers and students. However, there are…

As the debate and discussions are rapidly growing about the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education institutions (HEIs) as well as in other sectors, we have gone through a systematic review and research of the topics and progress of AI at the present time. We have surveyed much literature and prepared a research review…

Synchronous peer feedback activity is a potential but less studied strategy to engage students in technology-enhanced learning environments compared to asynchronous peer feedback activity in which students provide feedback to each other at a different time. This study aims to investigate student engagement and perceptions in a Google…

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…

Purpose: Unprecedented progressions in the sector of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have led to the trendsetting of Education 4.0 paradigms. A byproduct of breakthroughs in Education 4.0 is the "Cybergogy" paradigm that particularly stimulates learning and builds competencies in a virtual environment for the new era.…

Instructional design problems are one of the most complicated and ill-structured types of problems due to the dynamic nature of design problems and decision-making processes. Formulating instructional design solutions thereby requires teachers to possess adequate decision-making knowledge and skills and apply them to instructional design. This…

Purpose: Existing literature has reported a barrier list that could affect the implementation of digital transformation in higher education, yet the research question of how to identify barriers remained unanswered. Thus, this study intended to address this gap. Design/methodology/approach: The research design adopted a mixed-methods approach…

The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into postsecondary education and many other sectors resulted in a global reckoning with this new technology. This paper contributes to the study of the multifaceted influence of generative AI, with a particular focus on OpenAI's ChatGPT within academic settings during the first six…

This study explored the opportunities and challenges of integrating social media into the teaching and learning process of Ethiopian universities. Universities have been under the influence of the impact of social media use among academia, students, and researchers. These inevitable academic needs addressed through a lens of uses and…

This study explored teachers' classroom integration of mobile social media at universities in China and how their technology integration was influenced by institutional factors from the perspectives of Activity Theory. A qualitative multi-case study approach was adopted to address the research question. Data were collected from multiple sources,…

The bulk of recent research on generative AI (GenAI) in education mainly focused on its potential pedagogical uses as well as how students actually exploit such tools during learning, while little has been done to systematically investigate how teachers integrate those tools in different parts of their teaching process. To bridge this gap, the…

This study aims to explore kindergarten student teachers' readiness to integrate technology into their future classrooms and factors affect their integration. A mixed-methods, sequential explanatory design was utilized to achieve the research purposes. There were two phases. The first phase conducted a survey to assess technical and pedagogical…

The mastery of vocabulary is a fundamental step when learning a language but for many learners, it seems difficult and boring. English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners find some difficulties in learning new words. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of using the hologram application in learning medical English terminology for EFL…

Limited studies exist on faculty members or lecturers' perception and behavioural acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) (e.g. ChatGPT) for their students' benefit. Teachers are the decision-makers for students' teaching and classroom activities. In this regard, the study examined lecturers' use of AI-powered tools and the factors that…

This study examined the effects of an integrated approach that combines segmentation and self-explanation designs on learner achievement for meaningful video-based learning. This was a pretest-posttest research design with a sample size of 121 participants randomly assigned to one of four different types of video instructions (continuous,…
