Students in higher education increasingly integrate emerging technologies to enrich their learning experiences. Universal tools such as virtual classrooms, multimedia presentations, and learning management systems are now widely employed in teaching and learning activities. However, Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are not yet commonly used…

In support of new local and state discussions about how to most effectively utilize technology in the classroom, Project Tomorrow, in collaboration with Spectrum Business®, is publishing a new series of reports that examine each of the three digital divides (the access, design and use divides) through the lens of the Speak Up Research findings.…

Background: While both Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) are widely recognised as effective methods to enhance bilingual education, their combination often leads to cognitive overload and fragmented learning experiences. In Taiwan's bilingual education context, where integrating English into…

This support document accompanies the main report, "First Nations and Migrant Learners' Experiences with Foundation Skills Courses," and provides more detailed information on the migrant cohort. It is divided into the following sections: (1) 'Migrant case study' provides a more comprehensive account of the case studies held with migrant…

n this essay, Kevin Pugh, Dylan Kriescher, Simon Cropp, and Maaly Younis revisit the philosophical roots of transformative experience (TE) theory by explaining how the theory emerged from John Dewey's philosophies of aesthetic experience, intellectual experience, and educative experience. In doing so, the authors clarify the linkage between…

Modern philosophy have categorized the enlightened human as the exclusive holder of reason. The modern notion of learning established an unbridgeable gap between human ways of learning and those of "non-humans." We assume that learning is a skill of all organisms and not an exclusively human prerogative. We prefer the…

Artist/Teacher/Researcher: I see this identity as one of collaborations. It is one that I share with my colleagues and students. Each day, with others we question, develop, think, create and rebound ideas, changing and moulding them, as we do materials and matter, backwards and forwards, in dialogue with one another. In the absence of these…

The body is the precondition of any meaning-laden space of learning. As we are located in environments frothing with life, we engage in meaning making through and with the senses of the body, engaging in the creation of scaffoldings of symbolic, rhizomatic understandings by which we navigate our worlds. Thus, I argue that our embodied subjective…

Educational structure is needed to intentionally focus on communicative actions in undergraduate coursework.…

In today's educational environment, the convergence of emerging technologies and active methodologies has become a fundamental driver of change in university education. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, machine learning, and data analytics, are redefining the dynamics of higher education. Active…

Dimensionality reduction techniques are essential in analyzing large 'omics' datasets in biochemistry and molecular biology. Principal component analysis, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding, and uniform manifold approximation and projection are commonly used for data visualization. However, these methods can be challenging for students…

This study examines undergraduates' research practices, as described in reflective essays submitted in applications to a library research award. Thematic analysis of 24 student award essays identified three strong themes in student reflections about their research experiences. Students experienced research as a social process, made meaning closely…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in education, significantly influencing students. This research explores AI's impact on learning experiences, academic performance, career guidance, motivation, self-reliance, social interaction, and AI dependency. Utilizing a descriptive-comparative design, 194 student respondents…
