This case study was an exploration into the digital distraction occurring in a 1:1 integrated American high school. Twenty-first century education allows students and teachers to navigate learning using digital resources (internet, social media, academic databases) via school-issued and student-owned mobile digital technology (laptops, tablets,…

A discussion forum is a valuable tool to support student learning in online contexts. However, interactions in online discussion forums are sparse, leading to other issues such as low engagement and dropping out. Recent educational studies have examined the affordances of conversational agents (CA) powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to…

The global COVID-19 pandemic has put into high relief the need for better remote communication and collaboration tools, but also serves as an opportunity to focus on building community capacity and promoting greater community agency in the language documentation process. This paper describes a method for remotely supporting and monitoring a…

Aim/Purpose: This study examines the effects of the mobile-assisted task-based language teaching (M-TBLT) approach on EFL learners' oral production. It evaluates three key second language acquisition measures: complexity (syntactic and lexical), accuracy (error-free clauses and correct verb forms), and fluency (unpruned and pruned speech rates).…

Building on our 2024 AI Survey, we surveyed 1,041 full-time undergraduate students through Savanta about their use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools. In 2025, we find that the student use of AI has surged in the last year, with almost all students (92%) now using AI in some form, up from 66% in 2024, and some 88% having used…

Purpose: The Parent--Enhanced Moved by Reading to Accelerate Comprehension in English (Parent EMBRACE) program offers a bilingual parent-training literacy intervention for Latino families. Within the context of shared book reading, the application leverages both the home language and technology to increase parent question-asking during shared…

In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding how language shapes communication culture among students is paramount. This study aimed to investigate the formation of communication culture through language use in various socio-cultural contexts among Kazakh and Kyrgyz university students. The research employed a survey methodology to…

This article addresses the considerations on what they term "digitally supported elementary disciplinary literacy" in elementary grade (K-5) instruction. In doing so, the authors focus on the particularities of elementary instruction and what disciplinary literacy might look like in those grade levels, with a particular emphasis on…

This article discusses the integration of three concepts central to the enterprise of computer-supported collaborative learning: namely, collaboration scripts, self-regulation, and group awareness. It does so through consideration of five reports in this Special Issue that address the integration challenge. Various themes are extracted and…

The unexamined power and prejudice embedded within technologies and societies has led to direct harm to individuals of color, minoritized groups, and the US ideal of a multi-racial democracy. Rather than an accident of AI or a "glitch" of the system, these inequities highlight the invisible and oppressive architecture -- a "New Jim…

Integrity and quality of assessments on the online platform should be upheld to ensure that it supports student learning as well as the efficacy of teaching because in the end it measures the reputation of an institution. How institutions have traversed such domains remains a grey area. This paper provides anecdotal insights into how staff from a…

The use of technology in education is believed to enhance students' learning experience. Technology such as Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly used in the classroom through the use of gamification. This study aims to examine students' experience in using a board game with web-based Augmented Reality named REV-OPOLY in their learning.…

The purpose of this study was to explore student's experiences when practicing information technology skills with an online simulation environment. After using the online simulation environment over a five-week period, 215 undergraduate students were surveyed regarding their usage-related experiences, satisfaction with the environment, and…

The turn to online learning and training programs as a response to challenging times (i.e., the COVID-19 crisis) necessitated the need for internet-based testing solutions. Researchers generally have found that Unproctored Internet Testing (UIT) for high-stakes cognitive ability assessments results in higher scores than proctored assessments. Live…

This article illustrates that the task design and problem selection are of characteristic influence to evoke sense-reason-act programming (SRA) among primary school pupils when programming robots. Research shows that the task design influences the development of computational thinking (CT). The literature provides evidence that the context, the…
