Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the perception of the users concerning the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing personal learning profile (PLP), personal learning network (PLN) and personal learning environment (PLE) and their effect on the perceived ease of use, perceived effectiveness and perceived usefulness for…

Effective use of information resources by lecturers is one of the determinants of university education outcomes. To function optimally, lecturers utilise digitised information resources in their duties. University libraries are saddled with the responsibility of organising and providing lecturers' needed information resources. This study,…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced adult education programs into rapid adoption of new technologies and delivery of new modalities of instruction and learner support. Leaders of the COABE Digital Literacy and Technology Strand took advantage of our 2021 strand meeting to tap into the collective knowledge of the diverse group of practitioners, teacher…

This article shows how the exciting new field of Machine Learning can be effectively introduced in a standard calculus sequence, once the students have been introduced to functions of several variables. This is an opportunity to engage students in a discussion of an application of calculus to an emerging field that the students encounter in their…

Numbers and variables often follow the same principles of arithmetic operations, yet numbers can be computed to a value whereas variables cannot. We examined the effect of symbols--numbers versus variables--on middle school students' problem-solving behaviors in a dynamic algebra notation system by presenting problems in numbers (e.g., 3+5-3) or…

The COVID-19 pandemic induced amplified digitalization measures in the higher education sphere, informed by the need to take quick comprehensive action to achieve the overarching result to transform educational scenarios into interdisciplinary digital, remote, and hybrid frameworks. The consequent functional tasks to meet this challenge are…

This study looks at how students embody their ideas about geometry conjectures and how those ideas travel within and between student groups. In one classroom of a Title 1 high school, students participated in a three-part program in which they: (1) played "The Hidden Village," a motion-capture video game where they assess the veracity of…

This research takes a mixed methods and design-led approach to understand how adolescents in Southeast Asia interact and engage with the variety of content and platforms available online. The research aimed to understand whether adolescents are developing relevant 21st century and digital skills through online platforms, and whether and how online…

The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected all aspects of life, including the foreign language teaching contexts. Universities and schools abandoned classrooms and moved into online education settings. During immediate lockdowns which brought physical distancing, terms like "online", "virtual", and "distant" education…

Open-access online courses, called massive open online courses (MOOCs), have received much attention from higher education institutions and course designers for their potential to reshape learning opportunities. Among the challenges in learning from MOOCs or in an online setting is that students may have insufficient prerequisite knowledge about…

This study explores the perspectives of teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) regarding screen reader instruction and summarizes their experiences teaching screen readers. Survey data were collected online for one month through professional listservs and social networks, and recipients were asked to forward the invitation to others…

In March 2020, the governor of Pennsylvania mandated school closure for two weeks and on April 9, 2020, the mandate was extended through the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The pandemic caused uncertainties and immediate crisis for educational entities. Learning during school closure was transformed with…

In the past two decades, there has been a shift toward the implementation and use of technology for educational purposes both in and out of the classroom. Included in that shift is the use of publisher-created online homework systems (OHS). There is evidence that students generally enjoy using OHS and that they feel using OHS benefits them. But…

It is uncontested that education systems globally are under constant pressure to respond to the changing needs of societies. The outbreak of COVID-19 has reminded us that the complexity of education needs responsive practices to facilitate effective teaching and learning across all levels of schooling globally. All over the world, the normative…

Many students have been exposed to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in most schools. While STEM in public high schools, public middle schools, STEM-specific schools, and charter elementary schools have been researched often, the literature concerning STEM in public elementary school classrooms to promote learning is scarce. The…
