Despite the growing use of learning technology in classrooms, factors predicting young students' engagement in contexts fully or partially mediated by technology remain understudied. This study investigated how fourth and fifth grade students' technology self-efficacy (ie, confidence in utilizing learning management systems) and networking agency…

This book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education through practical, real-world strategies and grounded research. It begins with accessible introductions to key concepts--such as generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing--before progressing to theoretical frameworks and empirical studies of…

The rapid emergence of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems represents a paradigm shift in military operations, demanding fundamental transformation of US military education. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for reskilling and redesigning military education to address critical workforce readiness gaps in the era of autonomous…

"Smart Universities in Smart Cities: Shaping the Future of Education and Urban Innovation" focuses on how higher education institutions are adapting to the challenges of the digital age in a world increasingly influenced by technology and sustainability. Universities are becoming an indispensable element of smart cities, driving forward…

In this paper, we reflect upon and (re)analyze a self-study of teacher education practices (SSTEP) inquiry that was focused on deconstructing the circumstances of loss and anxiety we experienced during the pandemic years and onward as we conducted our online teacher education classes. In seeking to repair, restore, and heal, we engaged with…

In this five-year longitudinal study focused on digital support for continuing and first-generation college students, we examined how digital curricular enhancements that promoted students' self-regulated learning skills (e.g, the Science of Learning to Learn) through trainings delivered on the university learning management system course site of…

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…

Career choices are shaped by students' experiences, knowledge, and skill sets across time, reflecting not only disciplinary interests but also exposure to evolving fields such as data science (DSC). Despite a surge in interest and enrollment in data science degrees, the United States faces a growing demand for data literacy across multiple…

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly disrupted teaching and learning in higher education globally. The purposes of this study are to identify the demographics and contextual challenges of emergency ICT-enabled education related to the future preferred mode of education of instructors and suggest a transition from emergency ICT-enabled…

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…

This study examines the effectiveness of instructional videos in addressing common grammatical errors in online English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) contexts. The experiment involved 134 pre-service primary school teachers, divided into two groups: a group receiving explicit grammar correction through questionnaires, and a group exposed to…

This qualitative study explores the relationships between group work on open-ended geometrical tasks and the physical and social environments in which they take place. Two groups of twelfth grade students worked on two open-ended geometry tasks. One group worked face-to-face (f-f), and one worked synchronously online. Products of the group work…

In this study, we applied natural language processing (NLP) techniques, within an educational environment, to evaluate their usefulness for automated assessment of students' conceptual understanding from their short answer responses. Assessing understanding provides insight into and feedback on students' conceptual understanding, which is often…

Purpose: As educational institutes began to address the challenges posed by COVID-19, e-learning came to the foreground as the best bet left. This study is in quest of revealing engineering student's perceptions of the available e-learning platforms, thus surfacing the underlying bottlenecks.
