Despite continuous discussions on Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) ethics in academia, limited studies examine the perceptions of students or the application of ChatGPT with non-traditional students. We report an exploratory single case of a two-week orientation offered to non-traditional students entering online bachelor's degree…

Perturbation of gene expression using RNA interference (RNAi) or CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a useful strategy to explore the function of essential genes. In the archaeon "Haloferax volcanii," the CRISPR-Cas system has been adapted as a CRISPRi tool to silence the expression of specific genes. We developed a laboratory class (LC) to…

In the context of globalization, adapting to modern educational needs and adopting innovative teaching methods have become increasingly crucial, particularly in the field of children's aesthetic education. This study explores the integration of scaffolding instruction and AI-driven diffusion models in children's aesthetic education, with a special…

The pervasive use of the Internet and technology has its impact on citizens' civic participation. There are growing numbers of research which explore digital citizenship (DC) for citizens' better civic participation in the information society. With the growing attention of digital citizenship, a systematic review of empirical research focused on…

The work of school counsellors has become complex with the increasing technological advances and adolescents' dependency on them. There is a surprising lack of study in the Indian context, aimed at school counsellor's challenges in dealing with adolescents' digital use. This paper provides better understanding of the challenges of school…

This article discusses the key elements of the Data Science Technology course offered to postgraduate students enrolled in the Master of Data Science program. This course complements the existing curriculum by providing the skills to handle the Big Data platform and tools, in addition to data science activities. We tackle the discussion about this…

Children inevitably start using smart devices from the first year of their lives. Parents should have knowledge and awareness of the conscious use of applications on smart devices. For this reason, a scale to measure parents' knowledge and awareness of the conscious use of applications on smart devices has become necessary. Due to this necessity,…

This article argues that sociotechnical imaginaries, defined as collectively held, institutionally stabilized, and publicly performed visions of desirable sociotechnical futures, are significantly connected to visions, policies, and projects of educating citizens. These visions, policies, and projects -- or educational imaginaries -- constitute…

"Using Sentiment Analysis to Ease Students toward or around Macroanalysis" introduces teachers to the mathematical analytical method currently being promoted by Matthew Jockers which he calls macroanalysis. This method uses an algorithm called "R," originally designed by researchers in sociology. In many ways, macroanalysis…

Social media (SM), which is frequently preferred by young people, poses a risk of addiction when used excessively and unconsciously. Having self-awareness and becoming digitally literate, unlike other university students, is essential for psychological counselor candidates (PCC) in terms of preventive counseling they will do in the institutions…

This study aimed to explore the effect of learner-generated digital materials on students' deep learning approach and self-efficacy. A quasi-experimental design that involves a pre-test, a post-test, a control group and an experiment group was used in this study which involved 51 students (25 students participated in the control group and 26…

In this position paper, the authors lay out the imperative for equitable artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the essential role of access-oriented institutions and calling on technology companies (both large and small), foundations, and local, state, and federal regulators to consult with the newly convened Complete College America Council…

Despite its controversial nature, machine translation (MT) has been increasingly integrated into learning in the past decade. This controversy arises from two different beliefs. While some believe that MT negatively impacts students' language proficiency, others argue that it allows students to stay abreast of technological advancements. Despite…

Typing slows at the middle of the word. The exact nature of the slowdown is still disputed. Research on attentional and motoric effects in typing suggests that the slowdown is purely a function of chunking of letters in creating the motor output; this approach posits no further influence of linguistic information during output. Research from a…

Despite the metaverse having been increasingly designed, developed, and applied to education, critical issues regarding the lack of truly immersive learning environments, custom tools, clear instructional design, and inconvenience of using the platform, and ethics and privacy concerns exist. This study aimed to design and develop a 3-D metaverse…
