Background/Context: Schools are spending more money than ever on a growing number of educational technology programs which are designed to boost student learning outcomes, especially after the integration of online learning that was necessitated by COVID-19 pandemic school closures and disruptions (Instructure, 2024; Teras et al., 2020). Rigorous…

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Toulmin argumentation model in developing critical thinking skills and epistemological beliefs concerning the internet in an online educational setting, especially during the global coronavirus pandemic. The subject of the research was carried out in the "Child Development Department" of a…

The purpose of this article is to describe and report on a Globally Networked Learning (GNL) course among students in Germany and the United States. Specifically, we examine how GNL is an innovative method for international virtual exchange, which contributes to meaningful intercultural communication through more equitable access to international…

The devastation and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to pervade almost every sphere of human existence, albeit arguably increasingly nuanced. As we move into the post-pandemic world, it is essential to reflect on the lessons learned and forge transformed, decolonised ways of knowledge production in higher education. To ensure the…

With the rapid development of information technologies, online learning platforms have become the most convenient way for users(teachers and learners) to share their learning content. However, due to the increasing number of educational content, it becomes very difficult for learners to find the most appropriate items. Most previous methods…

The emergence of COVID-19 presented numerous challenges in the educational sector, particularly for learners with special educational needs (LSEN). Teaching LSEN via the digital space was a challenging endeavour for teachers during the resulting lockdown largely because of their limited capacity and experience. Considering this circumstance, this…

The gold-standard evaluation of an educational technology product is a randomized study comparing students randomized to use a computer-based learning platform (CBLP) to students assigned to a "business as usual" condition, such as pencil-and-paper work, and estimating average treatment effects. However, not everyone uses the same CBLP…

The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of digital participatory training based on virtual classrooms in developing teaching skills among pre-service teachers. A quasi-experimental approach was employed using a teaching skills checklist as the measurement tool. The sample included 46 students from the Child Education Department, intentionally…

Emergent technologies present platforms for educational researchers to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and collect rich data on study students' performance, behavior, learning processes, and outcomes in authentic learning environments. As educational research increasingly uses methods and data collection from such platforms, it is…

This study examined how peer assessment and self-assessment influence higher education students' use of three modes of regulation of learning (self-regulation, co-regulation, and socially shared regulation) in an online collaborative task during the COVID-19 epidemic. Twenty-one first-year undergraduate students were assigned to one of three…

In the digital age, online learning platforms utilizing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence can provide more diverse and abundant educational resources compared to offline learning environments. However, online learners still face emotional expression and inertia trap problems. Knowledge co-creation virtual teachers (KCVTs) can…

Online learning, especially in higher education, has grown in recent years and the study of its didactic implications has also increased. Online experiences have been found to be as successful as face-to-face ones, but there is a concern about a lack of social interaction among students. This makes it necessary for teachers to plan collaborative…

The phenomena of small Doctor of Education (EdD) cohorts and in-person communities of inquiry have been replaced by larger scale, fully online programs. Faculty must engage in deep reflection on their new realities to ensure that their curricular, programmatic, and other practices are evidence-based and developed to account for diverse factors…

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted traditional education systems globally, with African Higher Education Institutions particularly challenged due to pre-existing infrastructural and technological limitations. This study examines the response of the University of Education, Winneba, in Ghana, to the pandemic by transitioning to online…
