To investigate the antecedents of technology acceptance, this study focused on three key attributes: information credibility, enjoyment, and…

Background, context, and purpose of the study: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, holding promising potential for supporting the design and implementation of quality STEM education. However, there is a lack of data-based research studying the…

Architectural design representations comprise physical (models, drawings) and digital media (3D models). Multimodal combinations of physical and digital representations are commonplace in professional contexts such as design reviews or building sites, and 'making sense' of these assemblies requires complex socio-cognitive processes and…

Preadolescents (10-12 years) are prolific media users, yet it is still being determined whether the different types of social media engagement are impacting their bodies.
