Research in artificial intelligence has made great strides in developing 'cognitive tutors' that teach a range of technical skills. These automated tutors allow students to practice, observe their mistakes, and provide personalized instructional feedback. Evidence shows that these methods can increase learning above and beyond traditional…

Educational technologies are often developed such that students work on specific social levels (e.g., individual, small group, whole class) at specific times. However, in the reality of the classroom, learning activities are not so cleanly divided, with transitions occurring between social levels for students at different times. To support these…

Lectures are a commonly used teaching method in higher education, but there is significant debate about the relative merits of different classroom practices. Various classroom observation tools have been developed to try to give insight into these practices, beyond the simple dichotomy of "traditional lecturing versus active learning".…

Determining which students are at-risk of poorer outcomes -- such as dropping out, failing classes, or decreasing standardized examination scores -- has become an important area of both research and practice in K-12 education. The models produced from this type of predictive modeling research are increasingly used by high schools in Early Warning…

It is not known how faculty of online teachers in higher education courses described their participation in social networking communities and the influence of their community involvement on their preparation for, and application of technology-mediated teaching skills and training, in social networking communities for online teachers in higher…

Temporary higher education institution closures in response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic disrupted student teaching. This paper reports on the rapid conversion of an in person laboratory session to online delivery, within 24 h of the previously scheduled in person session, and two working days after the end of face-to-face teaching at the…

Academic faculty in a two-year post-baccalaureate teacher education program at a small research university in British Columbia explored the extended use of e-Portfolios into final practicum over a three-year period. The education technology course offered in Term Three asked teacher candidates to create and design an e-Portfolio as part of the…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore senior high school students' college and career readiness self-efficacy after participating in a 1:1 setting. Student self-efficacy and teacher opinions on their students' college and career readiness self-efficacy as it relates to technology integration in the classroom were investigated. This…

Pronunciation is often not given the attention it deserves in the foreign language classroom, especially as research continues to show that poor pronunciation can impede communication (Agostinelli, 2012; Arteaga, 2000). Recent attempts have been made to determine the utility of technology for the purposes of acquiring another language;…

The problem addressed in this study is that the potential roles of an artificial intelligence-enhanced chatbot using big data in e-learning in higher education were not widely documented in the research community. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the potential roles of an artificial intelligence-enhanced chatbot using big…

Defenses against adversarial attacks are essential to ensure the reliability of machine learning models as their applications are expanding in different domains. Existing ML defense techniques have several limitations in practical use. I proposed a trustworthy framework that employs an adaptive strategy to inspect both inputs and decisions. In…

Research on the roles of textbooks in EFL teaching contexts has been widely reported. However, studies on textbook adaptation strategies in a technology-integrated classroom have not received much attention. To fill the gap, the current research sought to explore the types of textbook adaptation strategies employed by an Indonesian EFL teacher in…

With high demand on specialist child mental health services internationally, there is significant interest in prevention and early intervention, as well as innovative and efficient approaches for increasing access to high-quality care. Digital communication technologies can improve communication between different professionals and agencies…

Open universities have provided quality higher education through open and distance education to serve learners who could not attend traditional in-person universities. While open universities vary in terms of providing their services to learners at a distance, many have shifted to e-learning using cost-effective platforms. A common platform that…
