Rapid technological advancements of recent decades have fueled, among other aspects, a global boom in the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) tools across a variety of areas. Higher education, like other domains, has embraced these innovations, with ChatGPT emerging as one of the latest additions. Faculty perception, ability, and…

A promising solution for reducing costs for students, especially textbook costs, is Open Educational Resources (OER). We explored community college faculty members' perceptions of using OER compared with publisher textbooks. In this comparative context, we investigated how OER impacted faculty, their instructional decisions, and their students as…

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework has been shown to support instructors in the design of inclusive instructional learning environments. However, few studies have examined the effects of UDL professional development programmes for community college faculty and staff. The present study examined the effects of a four-day Universal…

Faculty perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education are crucial for AI's meaningful integration into teaching and learning, yet research is scarce. This paper presents a study designed to gain insight into faculty members' (N = 122) AI self-efficacy and distinct latent profiles, perceived benefits, challenges, use,…

The current educational landscape is flooded with new technological tools, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence, which is applicable at all levels of instructional practices. However, the application of technology in assessment in higher education has been understudied. This study focused on filling this research gap by examining…

The focus of this research study was factors affecting Historically Black College and University (HBCU) instructional technology implementation. The problem that the study addressed was that HBCUs were slower at technology adoption than non-HBCUs, which could impact how prepared HBCU students may be for the digital workforce. The purpose of this…

Learning analytics intervention (LAI) studies aim to identify at-risk students early during an academic term using predictive models and facilitate educators to provide effective interventions to improve educational outcomes. A major impediment to the uptake of LAI is the lack of access to LAI infrastructure by educators to pilot LAI, which…

The current surge in the usage of Internet, multimedia, and educational technologies as well as the exigencies of the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed ICT-driven education globally. One of the tools deployed for ICT-mediated teaching and learning is the Learning Management System (LMS). Unfortunately, some lecturers' adoption or use of the LMS for…

As teaching and learning experiences broaden to include more technological innovations, methods of instruction and resource flexibility are becoming increasingly important for educators and students. Open educational resources (OER) have gained international appeal for such flexibility, and post-secondary institutions are at the forefront of…

Deep learning is a very popular topic in computer sciences courses despite the fact that it is often challenging for beginners to take their first step due to the complexity of understanding and applying Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Thus, the need to both understand and use neural networks is appearing at an ever-increasing rate across all…

Teaching effectiveness has been a prominent element in the success of the educational sector around the globe. The present study investigates the impact of adoption, ease of use, and teachers' experience of artificial intelligence [AI] and the moderating role of students' interest on the teaching effectiveness of Vietnamese universities. The study…

Learning systems are widely adopted as educational tools. The success of a learning system depends on the level of acceptance by instructors and learners. Research has identified Education as a Service (EaaS) as a resource that enables instructors and learners to access a new kind of service for learning system, containing: (1) support tools and…

The Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle), a type of Learning Management System (LMS), is growing globally. Across the world, the student population keeps growing, making it challenging for the existing physical infrastructure to accommodate all the students. Despite the enormous potential significance of Analytics Graphs,…

Crucial for organizations' business performance, 21st-century digital skills have gained prominence. The Covid-19 pandemic's impact on individuals, education, and higher education institutions led to a shift from traditional face-to-face to remote synchronous learning. Students experienced diverse information and communication technologies (ICTs),…

Acquiring computational modeling and simulation skills has become ever more critical for students in life sciences courses at the secondary and tertiary levels. Many modeling and simulation tools have been created to help instructors nurture those skills in their classrooms. Understanding the factors that may motivate instructors to use such tools…
