Previous screening studies conducted in leading educational technology journals have primarily been content analyses or systematic reviews; however, this article reports on a web scraping study through the keywords of the articles discussed in this study. An analysis was performed on the keywords of articles published between 2000 and 2018 in 14…

This article reviews the literature surrounding the growing use of Automated Paraphrasing Tools (APTs) as a threat to educational integrity. In academia there is a technological arms-race occurring between the development of tools and techniques which facilitate violations of the principles of educational integrity, including text-based…

Variation theory, which is a theory of learning developed by Marton and others, has quickly become popular in education research. Our purpose of this paper is to articulate the application of variation theory in the form of a number of concrete design principles that offer prescriptive and practical guidelines for improving the designs of…

Web-based student response systems (SRSs) is one of the web 2.0 tools that have recently started to be used frequently by researchers and educators, with the widespread use of smartphones among students. This study aims to present a systematic review of the literature on SRS used in educational settings. With this study, teachers and researchers…

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to be an important part of education governance. It is already being built into everything from business intelligence platforms to real-time online testing. In this paper, we aim to understand how AI becomes, and forms, a legitimate part of authority in contemporary education governance in what we call the…

Wearable devices are a popular class of portable ubiquitous technology. These devices are available in a variety of forms, ranging from smart glasses to smart rings. The fact that smart wearable devices are attached to the body makes them particularly suitable to be integrated into people's daily lives. Thus, we propose that wearables can be…

This study explores the types of online interaction used and levels of reflection achieved by undergraduate students, including the influence of the former on the latter on Google Docs. A qualitative approach was employed by means of (i) content analysis of students' comments and individual reflections based on the established coding schemes of…

Schools, teaching, and learning environments have long been understood and idealised as places of care. Within feminist studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS), scholars have proposed a shift to include non-humans in what we propose to conceive as care arrangements. Drawing on Tronto's feminist ethics of care [1993. "Moral…

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are in use for years and are still crucial assets for both teachers and students for teaching and learning. There is a wide variety of LMS available for institutions to administer learning in and out of the classes. However, deciding to pick an LMS to integrate is a critical decision that affects both instructors…

Virtual reality promotes prosocial behavior on various issues, including homelessness, ageism, and the environment. Recently researchers have explored the potential for a virtual reality experience to promote an empathic perspective transformation with promising results. The purpose of my proposed research is to investigate and explain the…

There is an increased need to examine how blended learning can be integrated in traditional preservice teacher education programs to support students' learning and meet the growing curricular demands of colleges and universities. This mixed methods study aimed to understand preservice teachers' perspectives towards blended technology integration…

In this paper I describe an interactive Gauss's law computer simulation using the GlowScript programming environment. The simulation calculates a point charge's electric field at locations on the surface of a Gaussian cube and displays the electric field in GlowScript's 3D graphics window. The point charge can be moved, and the electric field…

The benefits of micro-teaching (pre-service teachers practicing their teaching skills with small groups of peers or students) are well documented. However, the overcrowding of the teacher education curriculum, in part due to regulatory mandates, led many initial teacher education (ITE) programs to abandon using micro-teaching. The focus of this…

Training through simulation in neonatology relies on sophisticated simulation devices that give realistic feedback to trainees during simulated scenarios. It aims at training highly specialised medical teams in established operational skills, timely clinical manoeuvres, and successful synergy with other professionals. For effective teaching, it is…

Storytelling has been a part of our lives ever since humans made the first attempt to communicate with their fellow beings. In ancient times, before oral storytelling even appeared, humans drew pictures and symbols to communicate their stories. As a universal language which everyone can understand, stories have been passed on from generations to…
