Humanoid robotics (HR) studies around the world are on the rise today. As a result of its enormous contributions to enhancing productivity and efficiency in education and other spheres of life brought the attention of it to the academic community to consider it as an adequate learning tool in higher education. However, the study revealed that…

Purpose: Chatbots and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to alleviate some of the challenges faced by humans. Faculties frequently swamped with teaching and research may find it difficult to act in a parental role for students by offering them individualized advice. Hence, the primary purpose of this study is to review the literature…

This paper presents the results of the survey that was conducted during 2018 in four countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The survey is a part of activities within the project "Increasing the well being of the population by RObotic and ICT based iNNovative education" (RONNI), funded by the Danube Strategic…

Despite the numerous support systems, academic performances in many South African higher institutions continue to experience challenges while some are declining in throughputs. Some of the support mechanisms seem to be black boxed, notwithstanding the deteriorating situation. Thus, there is "prima facie" evidence that the factors that…

The twenty-first century has become synonymous with two primary architectural concepts: sustainability and digital technologies. While the former seeks less carbon footprint within the built environment, the latter drives a novel approach towards efficient and effective productivity. However, previous findings show inadequate study on Emerging…

Purpose: The objective of this proposal was to propose an educational innovation resource for the delivery of workshops with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA) themes aimed at students in high school and middle school to promote complex thinking as a necessary competency for understanding their continuously…

Educational robotics (ER) seems to have a positive effect on students and, in many cases, might help them to successfully assimilate knowledge and skills. Thus, this paper focuses on ER and carries out a literature review on educational robotics simulators with Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). The review searches for relevant papers which were…

This research work, explores the important incidence that Artificial Intelligence has have in the development of modern higher education and education at all in our country, the Dominican Republic, before, during, and after the Sanitary Emergence brought by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Through this "Documentary Research," we examine in details…

The current stage of society development is very closely related to the digitalization of all spheres of public life without exception. Education in this regard should become the starting point or the basis for the competent and conscious application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, neural networks, and other cyber-physical systems…

This study investigates the acceptance of social robots by higher education students in the social sciences. Pepper, a humanoid social robot from SoftBank Robotics, provided a sample of its capabilities during a first semester, large-scale, university course, "Introduction to academic writing."From this course, 462 freshmen participated…

This book is Volume 43 of the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook. For the past 40 years, our Yearbook has contributed to the field of Educational Technology by presenting contemporary topics, ideas, and developments regarding diverse technology tools for education. The Yearbook has inspired researchers, practitioners, and teachers to…

In recent years, with the popularity of AI technologies in our everyday life, researchers have begun to discuss an emerging term "AI literacy". However, there is a lack of review to understand how AI teaching and learning (AITL) research looks like over the past two decades to provide the research basis for AI literacy education. To…

With the increase in demand for online learning, machine teachers are becoming an important technology in higher education, since they are expected to improve teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes. However, machine teachers require an aptitude for technology and are associated with high initial costs. Thus, here, we use a more basal…

This book explores a range of technological and legal matters introduced to the education system by recent and significant technological developments. It delves into the transformation of education systems resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which presented various new challenges and threats that educational institutions were compelled to…

We are living in an era of artificial intelligence (AI). There is wide discussion about and experimentation with the impact of AI on education/higher education. In this paper, we give a discussion of how AI is evolving, explore the ways AI is changing education/higher education, give a concise account of the skills universities need to teach their…
