The metaverse has the potential to revolutionise education in several ways. It can provide students with immersive learning experiences, allowing them to explore and interact with virtual worlds and objects that are difficult or impossible to replicate in the real world. Yet, studies investigating the impact of the metaverse on students' skills…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies generate increasingly sophisticated non-human cognition; however, foundational learning theories only contemplate human cognition, and current research conceptualizes AI as a pedagogical tool. We argue that the incipient abilities of AI for "mutual engagement" with people could allow AI to…

The revolutionary breakthrough of ChatGPT has significantly impacted various fields, including education. To produce maximum benefit in education from this innovative technology, it should be properly integrated into educational settings to create effective ways for learning while paying attention to ethical considerations. Understanding students'…

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…

This dissertation is a multiple-case study that examines educators' perspectives and applications in learning technologies, multicultural education, and how they intersect to support digital equity. Technology is evolving and has become essential in a learning environment (e.g., Graham et al., 2019; Gronseth et al., 2020; Howard et al., 2018). As…

The educational metaverse promises fulfilling ambitions of immersive learning, leveraging technology-based presence alongside narrative and/or challenge-based deep mental absorption. Most reviews of immersive learning research were outcomes-focused, few considered the educational practices and strategies. These are necessary to provide theoretical…

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.…

Social networks have been recognized as a fertile learning environment, particularly in encouraging the exchange of knowledge. Students primarily use online communities and groups to read, exchange textbooks, make joint decisions, or share learning materials. Present work assesses the relationship between informal digital learning and formal…

This study aims to explore the influences of self-efficacy and school climate on motivation for technology integration in education. Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory was used as the theoretical framework. Outcome expectancy was used as a central motivational factor. A foundational model was constructed to explore the relationships among…

The emergence of ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model, has sparked numerous debates and discussions. In educational research, scholars have raised significant questions regarding the potential, limitations, and ethical concerns around the use of this technology. While research on the application and implications of ChatGPT in academic settings…

APPA's 2024 Thought Leaders Report on the Campus of 2030 provides campus facility professionals with insights into what that future campus will look like, who will attend it, and how it will operate. The remaining years of this decade will not be easy for already stressed faculty and staff. Still, marshaling forces and adapting to technology and…

Educational Technology (EdTech) has evolved. The technological advancements over the years provide new avenues for students to process content and expand critical thinking (Lakhana, 2014). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, integrating technology has become an essential element of every teacher's instruction. The purpose of this study is to explore the…

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology with a potential impact on education. Due to cost and usability limitations, it has not been used extensively. However, recent research studies suggested VR as a learning environment with benefits on students' learning performance through experience. It especially has various benefits for language learners.…

The emergence of the Metaverse, supported by innovative technologies, especially extended reality, has opened up new possibilities for various fields of education. Some disciplines like STEM have already derived significant benefits from the immersive, interactive, and authentic learning opportunities afforded by the Metaverse. In contrast, only…

This study aims to analyze the use of virtual reality and gamification in education by examining the existing literature. In addition to virtual reality, this study focuses on gamified virtual reality learning environments which refer to virtual reality learning environments that integrate gamification elements and mechanisms. Based on the…
