Artificial intelligence (AI) is a defining technology of the 21st century, creating new opportunities for academic libraries. The goal of this paper is to provide a much-needed analysis, interpreted in an international context, on what the leaders of academic libraries in East-Central Europe, and specifically in Hungary, think about AI and its…

In this contribution, we present a follow-up work-in-progress on an innovative system for facilitating small-group online discussions using an avatar during a video conference. A previous study has shown that the system had an effective, understandable, and more participatory interaction. Here, we examine long-term usage and its effects on…

Online patient portals that facilitate communication between patient and provider can improve patients' medication adherence and health outcomes. The effectiveness of such web-based communication measures can be influenced by the health literacy (HL) of a patient. In the context of diabetes, low HL is associated with severe hypoglycemia and high…

This work focuses on simulation, design, development, and evaluation of a visual Learning Analytics (LA) tool -- Real-time Educational AI-powered Classroom Tool (REACT) -- to support educators' data-driven decision-making. The educational institutions face one of the biggest challenges, such as predicting student performance, detecting undesirable…

The field of educational measurement places validity and fairness as central concepts of assessment quality (AERA, APA, NCME, 2014). Prior research has proposed embedding fairness arguments within argument-based validity processes, particularly when fairness is conceived as comparability in assessment properties across groups (Chapelle, 2021; Xi,…

This action research study's primary purpose was to explore student and instructor experiences of chatbot use in online and hybrid undergraduate English composition courses. This qualitative study used structured and open-ended survey questions, interviews, and chat transcripts to collect data. The collaboration process among researcher and…

The paper presents ideas and initiatives from two ongoing Erasmus+ projects funded by the European Commission. Both projects use e-Learning as an enabler for communicating interesting and important learning contents that are believed to increase and improve employability prospects for the targeted groups of learners. The WINnovators project…

The world is changing at an incredible rate, and different processes are using technology more and more every day. One of the most widely used applications of artificial intelligence today is to simplify employee tasks and office automation. In the future, robots can, like an author, produce articles or create conferences and instructional videos.…

Any advanced class in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields requires prerequisite knowledge. Typically, different students will have different levels of knowledge in these prerequisite areas. A prerequisite (Linear Algebra for Machine Learning course) was implemented as an interactive online course using Jupyter Notebooks and…

The field of educational measurement places validity and fairness as central concepts of assessment quality. Prior research has proposed embedding fairness arguments within argument-based validity processes, particularly when fairness is conceived as comparability in assessment properties across groups. However, we argue that a more flexible…

A large proportion of adolescents experiencing depression never access treatment. To increase access to effective mental health care, it is critical to understand factors associated with increased versus decreased odds of adolescent treatment access. This study used individual depression symptoms and sociodemographic variables to predict…

Technology and data have become integral components of the higher education landscape. These tools and stores of information are readily available to staff, administrators, and faculty. Despite this permeation of technology and data, there remains opportunities for growth and gaps in usage, particularly in the critical work of academic advising.…

Feedback is an essential part of the educational assessment that improves student learning. As education changes with the advancement of technology, educational assessment has also adapted to the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Despite the increasing use of online assessments during the last decade, a limited number of studies have…

The Digital Education Accelerator supported 21 digital education solutions over three years, providing structured guidance, expert mentorship, testing, showcasing, and validation opportunities. As part of the European Digital Education Hub, the programme aimed to foster innovation by helping teams refine their solutions, scale their impact, and…

In this brief, authors Namsoo Shin, Kevin Haudek, and Joseph Krajcik explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as a transformative learning partner in K-12 STEM education. They describe theoretical foundations of using AI in STEM education and the importance of fostering an integrated understanding of STEM content. The brief examines AI's…
