The role of questions in student learning is well recognized. However, the controversial issue of who should pose questions that direct inquiry continues: teachers or students? One perspective advocates that teachers generate questions as it assumes that students cannot generate high-quality questions. In contrast, Knowledge Building, a pedagogical approach that advocates transforming schools into knowledge-creation organizations, emphasizes student agency in generating authentic questions as they try to understand the world around them. This study examined the extent to which elementary students could generate questions and explore how student-generated questions help knowledge-building discourse progress. Comparing question threads (i.e., a series of online notes started with questions) and non-question threads (i.e., a series of online notes not started with questions), we noticed that questions posted by students engaged them in sustainable and progressive discourses, which is central to Knowledge Building. Moreover, the content analysis of the data revealed that the threads starting with questions were more likely to end up with productive threads than the non-question threads.

The field of education technology, and related subject areas attendant to it, welcomed millions of new participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to UNESCO, the education experiences of more than 1.4 billion students were disrupted in ways that will impact them, and those around them, for years to come. This journal has a significant role to play for documenting these experiences and the research that followed. Evidence about the use of learning technologies for learning in many new education spaces and geographic places is now available. Interest in the topic of technology-enabled learning has increased exponentially and submissions documenting these new experiences, insights, research findings, and practice applications have continued to grow. Our journal supports scholars long involved in, or new to the topic of, technology-enabled learning design and delivery.

This essay discusses the technological arms race that has developed in response to academic cheating. The author highlights three technological advances that impact academic integrity, from oldest to newest: a) text-matching software, b) online exam proctoring software, and c) artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs). This essay argues that there is no “silver bullet” to preventing or investigating academic misconduct and that our ethical obligations for learning, teaching, and assessment must include a human focus to promote student success.

It is becoming necessary to examine learners’ use of and experiences with virtual laboratories. Learners’ interest and motivation to use virtual laboratories are important factors for the success of these platforms. This study was conducted to analyze Kyrgyz learners’ use of virtual laboratories in a physics course at the university level. The study was performed in the 2019–2020 spring term at a state university in Kyrgyzstan. The study took a quantitative approach, with 376 Kyrgyz learner participants studying at the undergraduate level. The participants were divided into three groups: the first and second used different virtual laboratory platforms, while the third was involved in face-to-face labs. Quantitative data were collected using an online questionnaire which consisted of items related to demographic characteristics, motivation and experience, and physics laboratory attitudes. The results demonstrated differences among the groups regarding factors of motivation and experience. In addition, learners’ physics laboratory attitudes differed with respect to gender and grade point average (GPA) factors.

The pandemic of 2020 has renewed interest in technology as an integrative agent in higher education. However, advancements in technology continue to outpace the scholarship of integration in SoTL, even though Ernest Boyer valued it as a continuous area of study. This article calls for a reconsideration of Boyer’s appreciation of integration as convergence or intertextuality. Intertextuality and its digital correlate, hypertextuality, operationalize online education. Yet, they are often ignored as models of convergence. This relational paradox signals a need for a discourse and framework that help us to conceptualize the inherently integrative nature of knowledge and online education. To address this deficit, this literature review introduces Peircean architectonics as the paradigm that reframes our understanding of convergence and illuminates its actualization in Terry Anderson’s prototype for online education. Architectonic logic enriches this model and provides us with a philosophy of convergence that revalues and advances the scholarship of integration.

Almost a decade after the massive incorporation of technology into schools in Galicia, Spain based on 1:1 computing programs, where teachers and students have access to laptop computers, this study explored the effects of technology on the lives of children in situations of socio-cultural and economic exclusion. Three case studies were selected from two research projects. Each case study representing three individuals. These studies were analyzed through an ethnographic approach using in-depth interviews and participant observation. The constant comparative method was used, supported by ATLAS.ti 7 qualitative analysis software. The 1:1 policies excluded the family context and the development of digital competence was heavily dependent on the opportunities provided at school. The results indicated that these policies did not reduce inequality because advanced learning experiences with information and communication technology were not provided at school.

This paper presents some initial findings from a multi-year partnership project on the integration of technology into the Kenyan education system. Specifically, qualitative evidence is presented on how results and lessons learned from the partnership project can be generalized and used by other research teams and projects using other technology platforms. Grounded in the critical theory of educational technology and using methodological strategies on the intersections of critical discourse analysis and critical ethnography, this paper examines technology integration in Kenyan public schools using the Learning Toolkit+ developed at the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

The purpose of this study is expected to produce a learning model that is more in line with the needs of the Physics learning process. The type of research that will be used in this research is Research and Development. The model development process follows the Borg and Gall development model which consists of ten stages, namely research and data collection, planning, development of initial product drafts, initial field trials, revisions test results, main product field tests, product revisions, wide-scale field trials/feasibility tests, final product revisions, and finally the dissemination and implementation stages. Based on the results of the survey and student test scores, there was an increase in conceptual understanding of the free fall motion material using the PBL learning model based on the Tracker application. So it can be concluded that the PBL learning model based on the Tracker Application is able to improve understanding of Physics concepts in the free fall motion material.

This study aims to identify the characteristics, objectives, benefits, advantages and limitations of mobile learning, analyzing opportunities and challenges the use of mobile learning as a learning model during the Covid-19 pandemic as well describes the application of the use of mobile learning in learning in education base. This research is a literature study with a qualitative approach using descriptive-analytic analysis. The research results show that mobile learning as a subset of e-learning has many advantages in facilitating learning process without the limits of time, space and place. Although it has limitations, but mobile learning has a very good opportunity to be utilized on virtual learning during the covid-19 pandemic as an alternative to learning face to face. Tablets, smartphones and laptops can be used as supporting devices in the implementation of mobile learning. In order to be implemented optimally, teacher skills are needed in operating the device and designing teaching materials properly digitally based.
