In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, we are witnessing an unprecedented surge in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This rapid surge necessitates a thorough exploration of how faculty members, instructional designers, and researchers adopt AI, especially GenAI, using learning design practices. The present research study…

The advancement of technology in education has transformed traditional classrooms into virtual learning environments yet concerns persist about how these technologies may inadvertently perpetuate racial stereotypes. Our study employed a 2 × 2 factorial design, with the first factor being the race of participants (Black, White) and the second…

The paper analyses the value mindsets of pre-service teachers in terms of the digital learning environment (DLE). DLE is considered to be both a system of new tools and methods for teaching activity and a prospective educational eco-system for learning. The DLE value model is based on a psychodidactic approach, which concerns three main…

Following COVID-19, the global educational landscape shifted dramatically. Almost every educational institute in Bangladesh undertook a strategic move to begin offering online or blended learning courses to mitigate the challenges created by the pandemic. The TVET sector, particularly the polytechnic institute of Bangladesh, endeavored to explore…

Persuasion is inherent to the instructional process. Instructions delivered through online programs do not always generate expected and consistent learning outcomes, and hence persuasion in online instructional design is even more critical. Through this mixed-method study, we aim to identify the most widely used persuasive design techniques, the…

Private tutoring, or shadow education, has become a widespread phenomenon globally. Its growth can be attributed to the expansion of cram schools offering live and video tutoring. This study critically analyses students' perceptions of video-recorded classes. Specifically, it problematises students' preference for video-recorded classes by…

In this article, we explored the potential of the Student Mental Model Analyzer for Research and Teaching (SMART) technology that was designed to help students write and revise high-quality summaries of complex texts. Grounded in the design research, the aim of this pilot study was twofold: (a) to generate insights to further improve the SMART…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how learning design and educational technology degree programs prepare students to evaluate in practice. This study involved the curricular mapping of 16 graduate instructional design programs and 29 semi-structured interviews with program faculty and recent postgraduates. Based on information…

This experimental study examined the effects of segmentation and self-explanation designs on cognitive load in instructional videos. Four types of instructional videos (segmentation, self-explanation, combined, and control) were created and tested by 121 undergraduate students randomly assigned to one of four research groups. The results of…

The purpose of this article is to illustrate an innovative teaching and learning method developed to address the limitations of 'normal' classroom instruction during the unprecedented health crisis of 2020. The course redesign for the digital classroom discussed in this paper details one instructor's journey of adjusting to a new way of teaching,…

Serious or educational games have been a subject of research for a long time. They usually have game mechanics, game content, and content assessment all tied together to make a specialized game intended to impart learning of the associated content to its players. While this approach is good for developing games for teaching highly specific topics,…

A team-based learning activity is presented that was created to support a university-level course with an integrative theme of environmental sustainability. Students in a General Education "Environmental Biology" course were asked to relate academic concepts to real-world scenarios by creating a hypothetical ecoresort on an island that…

Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) can provide learners with insights about their study progress through visualisations of the learner and learning data. Despite their potential usefulness to support learning, very few studies on LADs have considered learners' needs and have engaged learners in the process of design and evaluation. Aligning with…

This article describes how in context-aware ubiquitous learning environments, teachers must plan a theme and design learning contents to provide complete knowledge for students. Knowledge acquisition, which is an approach for helping people represent and organize domain knowledge, has been recognized as a potential way of guiding teachers to…

The demand to incorporate informatics into primary education is seen as a critical necessity both today, and for the future of modern societies. Numerous countries are currently revising their primary education curricula in order to incorporate informatics concepts and computational thinking skills. Although many successful initiatives have been…
