In post-pandemic Sri Lanka, online learning has shifted from an emergency response to a permanent fixture in higher education, with state universities adopting strategic blended models. However, this transformation reveals persistent challenges, including uneven digital infrastructure, limited pedagogical adaptation, and engagement…

The transfer of macrocognitive skills from digital training environments into physical performance is a central challenge in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, manufacturing, and defense industries. This meta-analysis synthesizes 111 studies published between 2000 and 2025, including 47 quantitative analyses, to examine how virtual reality…

This article presents a research project that explored the perspectives of pre-service and in-service primary English language teachers on the use of technology-enhanced tasks to support young learners' development of oral communicative competence in the diverse primary English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. The classroom-based research…

Advising students through their study plans is one of the essential steps towards academic success. The matching of students' needs and courses offered at a university requires comprehensive planning and scheduling. To avoid the problem of mismatch, which usually leads to cancellation courses with low enrollment, a decisive advising process is…

It is critical that pre-service teachers have exposure to practice in order to be successful in their future classrooms. This article describes a step-by-step process of implementing mixed-reality simulation (real-time interaction with avatars, similar to what one would find in a video game) in teacher preparation courses in order to provide…

Background: Immersive VR is still rarely used as an intervention for meeting the affective end goals of student learning despite its positive impact on affection. Also, studies regarding the use of immersive VR as an intervention for affective achievement in broader educational contexts are still lacking. Objectives: This study aimed to examine…

Preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology integration influence their motivation for and future behavior in teaching, but effective interventions to modify attitudes towards technology integration are scarce in teacher education programs. This quasi-experimental study redesigned and integrated one of the most widely used positive…

Many educational institutions have adopted online assessment in recent years. Previous studies on online assessment have often been tied to studies on learning management systems. As such, questions of online assessment acceptance have typically been overshadowed by a focus on the acceptance of learning management systems in general. The focus of…

Early career teachers (ECTs ['ECTs' refers only to early career teachers and not to any other professional entity within the teaching profession or beyond]) face many challenges as they transition from pre-service to graduate practitioners, particularly relating to integrating technology into their practice. Available research identifies that…

This study investigates preschool children's interactions with technology in a Swedish context. The purpose is to broaden our knowledge about children, technology and preschool activities--not only the meanings of technology that is present in everyday preschool activities, but also how children interact with it. Collier-Reed's (Pupils'…

Technology integration within instructional practices is an essential element in the preparation of teachers. However, expectations that a single course or hopes that technology infusion will spontaneously occur are not enough to prepare teacher candidates to integrate technology in meaningful ways. In the absence of a required educational…

The "new digital art? genre has emerged to describe various works of art that have evolved with the development of digital technologies. In its broadest sense, digital art encompasses everything from high-end machine learning applications to the use of interactive elements in traditional media. There is also an increase in the interaction…

International reports analyzing current and future educational trends with an emphasis on technologies applied to education declare the importance of the design and application of digital educational resources. Guaranteeing its usability allows obtaining an adequate resource with a high pedagogical and technological quality. The objective of this…

Considering that emotions have a great impact on motivation, reasoning, and decision making, affective computing methods, that were designed to attempt to understand and respond to human emotional states, have been used in more than one field including e-learning. Thus, a systematic literature review was conducted on 4 search engines resulting in…

Background: Previous studies on augmented reality-enriched learning and training indicated conflicting results regarding the cognitive load involved: some authors report that AR can reduce cognitive load, others have shown that AR is perceived as cognitively demanding and can lead to poorer performance. Objectives: The aim of this study is to…
