This study explores the arrival of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies in a collaborative Problem-Based Learning (PBL) environment from the perspective of students. It examines the emerging practices students develop individually and in groups as well as the tensions they navigate in response to GenAI's sudden arrival, its…

Extended reality (XR) technologies can bring immersive learning experiences into the classroom, and pre-service teachers need to be prepared to use them for that to happen. As a first step, it is important to contextualize and understand pre-service teachers' experiences and beliefs about these technologies. In response, this mixed methods study…

This study discusses the learning commons concept in depth by looking at how it has evolved over time, based on the themes discussed in the scholarly research within the last 6 years and contextualizing its trend. It investigates the status of research productivity and impact, trends in the concept, and identifies common, emerging, and dominant…

This study investigates generative artificial intelligence (GAI) use among international undergraduates in multicultural educational settings at a Thai university. Using narrative inquiry with 64 students from 10 countries, it explores students' discourses and practices around GAI. A deductive thematic analysis revealed key themes: Benefits in…

Though limited research has explored the agentic video learning of Chinese as Foreign Language/CFL learners, little research has examined Chinese video learners' agency in Dynamic Assessment (DA) and Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). This study challenges existing research that considers videos as merely supportive tools and learners as…

As educators have begun to investigate new ways to promote student productivity and creativity by 'co-creating' with generative AI (GenAI), scholars have simultaneously warned against attributing creativity to GenAI given potential risks that anthropomorphizing AI could result in undermining the value of human creativity or in encouraging current…

This systematic literature review addresses the increasing difficulty society faces in distinguishing factual and misleading information in the digital age. Public trust in information institutions, including libraries, is eroding, impacting decision-making and social polarization. While previous research has examined the role of libraries,…
