Organizations face many cybersecurity threats. Among those threats, social engineering attacks such as phishing stand out as a constant and costly struggle. The primary tools for combating social engineering are information security policy (ISP) and security awareness training (SAT), which seek to inform users of the threat of social engineering,…

The quality education goal is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that the United Nations aim to achieve by 2023. While there is still a long way to go to achieve the goal, information and communications technologies (ICT) provide efficient tools to substantially strengthen and accelerate the process. Thus, in this chapter, the authors design an…

The digital humanities (DH) remain a growing area of interest among researchers and a locus of new positions within libraries, especially academic libraries, as well as archives, museums, and cultural heritage organizations. In response to this demand, many programs that train information professionals have developed specific curricula around DH.…

Based on biographical interviews from a telecommunications organisation, this study aims to contribute to the debate on understanding and accounting for the work-life balance intricacies of female Information and Communications Technology (ICT) professionals. An exploratory cross-sectional design adopting a qualitative case study approach with…

Cyberbullying, which has been exacerbated by the widespread use of smartphones and the increasing stress associated with the pandemic, needs the promotion of positive online behaviour, cyberbullying awareness, and victim support. The PRISMA technique is used in this review to identify effective preventative tools and intervention options. Eleven…

A critical factor in improving the quality of education, according to researchers, is an increase in the special pedagogical and digital competence of primary school teachers. The novelty of the research lies in the study of the practical results of changes in the quality of knowledge when using a specialized dedicated course of IST in early…

Several studies have focused on the educational effectiveness of technology, with many institutions providing solutions to the classroom and virtual technology integration and implementation barriers. It is essential to eliminate barriers to technological integration. More importantly, stakeholders are responsible for identifying these obstacles…

Augmented reality (AR) stands as a widely embraced technology that significantly enhances learning experiences for students. AR offers an instructional approach supported by technological design, thereby fostering enriched learning interactions. This research proposes an interactive AR framework, intended to create an augmented reality learning…

Activity theory is of great importance in emphasizing the role of community and intermediary tools in the subject's internalization activities. From the perspective of activity theory, via systematically and comprehensively exploring kinds of different interactions between various elements (e.g. subject, community and tools) in classroom teaching,…

This research shares the collaborative practices through information and communication technologies (ICT) of a comprehensive cross-cultural "internationalization at home" Virtual Exchange (VE) of students preparing to be teachers enrolled in second language acquisition-related courses at Pennsylvania State University (US) and in the…

The impact of globalization and technologization has continued to reverberate in the translation industry, causing seismic changes in the translation process, output, and client expectations. Consequently, several approaches and models have been adopted to align training with these changes. Prominent among these is project-based learning, where…

Veterinary anatomy plays a crucial role in the curriculum for veterinary medicine and surgery. The integration of modern information technology in veterinary education can greatly benefit from innovative tools such as augmented reality (AR) applications. The aim of this study was to develop an accurate and interactive three-dimensional (3D)…

This article presents a novel digital method of capturing finger-based gestures on touchscreen devices for the purpose of exploring tracing gestures in educational research. Given that tracing has been found to support cognition, learning, and problem solving in educational settings, data related to the performance of these gestures are…

Over the past decade, geospatial technologies have emerged as a tool for developing spatial reasoning and cognitive processes. While the foundational Learning to Think Spatially report from the National Research Center (2006) launched research into the use of geospatial technologies in isolation, more recently, cloud-based simulation software have…

This study aimed to investigate students' digital (ICT) skills, perceived relevance (usefulness), and actual use of digital (ICTs) skills for learning. Data were obtained via Google Forms from 325 students who were conveniently sampled from two public universities in Ghana. The results from the multivariate analysis of variance showed that age and…
