In this article I examine the generative AI music-making applications of Google called MusicFX DJ and Music AI Sandbox, as well as Udio, an end-to-end generative AI music system created by ex-Google employees. I frame these generative AI music systems designed by Big Tech as part of their neoliberal agenda, which involves influencing music…

GenAI (Generative Artificial Intelligence) will have a growing role within formal education. What should that role be? How do we treat GenAIs as an opportunity to enhance and reenergise teaching and learning? This theoretical article suggests that answers to these questions should start with our foundational psychological theories about what…

In recent years, as e-learning continues to prominence in educational settings, understanding faculty perceptions becomes imperative for effectively implementing and enhancing digital learning environments.

As a result, learners and teachers face significant barriers to accessing the…

Despite the enormous investment in educational technology research, there are sincere questions about whether it is having a meaningful effect on issues that really matter. Put simply, is education better because of us? In this paper we argue that our field is not having the impact it could, due largely to our instrumentalist approach to ed tech…

The research model, which aims to determine the correlation between the level of teacher candidates taking teacher educators as role models in technology use and the level of technology acceptance and use and to what extent teacher candidates taking teacher educators as role models in technology use predicts technology acceptance and use, is a…
