Since the turn of this century, much world has undergone tectonic socio-technological change. Computers have left isolated basements research institutes and entered people’s homes. Network connectivity advanced from slow unreliable modems to high-speed broadband. Devices evolved: stationary desktop computers ever-present, always-connected smartphones. These developments been accompanied by new digital practices, changing expectations, not least in education, where enthusiasm for technologies...

An international debate is taking place about embedding sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs). Separate strands of literature address the importance concepts and strategic change approaches. This paper explores conceptual development as an unfolding process within initiatives. Data are derived from nine Change Laboratory workshops, conducted over 6 months, which 20 stakeholders varying backgrounds worked to create “a sustainable campus” HEI Ireland. Transcribed video...
In the era of information technology, foreign language teachers should not only master professional knowledge languages, but also theoretical and application skills modern education that is, have certain literacy. This article studies strategies to improve literacy in colleges universities under background artificial intelligence, constructs evaluation index system teachers' using analytic hierarchy process (AHP), establishes a fuzzy model based on system. The results show level is above...
In the current higher education context, offering online programmes is seen as an effective means to recruit more international students. However, supporting students studying at a distance not simple task for both universities and tutors. The problem mainly stems from lack of theoretical understanding their learning experiences. present article, therefore, aims address gap, by systematically, yet critically reviewing relevant academic narratives about Our review reveals four types presented...
This paper presents an approach to conducting formative assessment of student coursework within diagram-based domains using Computer Based Assessment (CBA) technology. Formative is perceived as a resource-intensive mode and its usage in steep decline higher education. CBA technology developed out the desire automate due necessity assessing students with decreasing unit-resource; it can overcome by automating those processes which are considered resource-intensive.The system described based...
Attempts to sustain economic growth and diversification within the Middle East have seen governments invested in various educational initiatives. In alignment with this ethos, United Arab Emirates offers citizens, free education government-funded higher institutes, bursaries linked grade point average scores.It is believed that incentivised learning environments provide a powerful motivation stimulate academic excellence summative assessments—linked scores. An unfortunate outcome of these...

Learner agency, often understood in terms of self-direction and negotiated engagement, is considered important technical vocational education training (TVET). Yet nurturing supporting agency resource-intensive difficult. In this paper, we consider learner for online TVET—a setting where content delivery models can be experienced as stultifying. We document the design evaluation specific task designs using method principle double-stimulation, prompts help participants to reconceptualise...
Multi-Display Learning Spaces (MD-LS) comprise technologies to allow the viewing of multiple simultaneous visual materials, modes learning which encourage critical reflection upon these and spatial configurations afford interaction between learners materials in orchestrated ways. In this paper we provide an argument for benefits supporting complex, disciplinary reasoning within learning, focussing our experiences postgraduate arts education. The importance considering affordances physical...
This article examines the phenomenon whereby ‘professionalism’ is used as a concept in higher education (HE), specifically regarding HE’s relationships with professions science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). We examine implications for human development arising from influence of professionalism HE, presenting qualitative interpretations second-career academics, term we use to describe university teaching staff recruited their prior industrial experience STEM professions....
This paper contributes to international debates about ‘authenticity’ in higher education, especially where this is embroiled technology-oriented aspects of educational policy and practice. It describes activity theoretical research a setting engineering industrial attachments taking place at distance, during which students lecturers experience problems with technology-mediated interactions. Prior the research-intervention that we describe paper, these interactions had been implemented...
