Exploring Personal Experience and Value Creation in Postdigital Education: Insights from a Large-Scale Mooc Survey
This study explores how participants of massive open online courses (MOOCs) perceive value creation within online learning environments. Drawing on the value creation framework (VCF), we developed and empirically validated a questionnaire, which was completed by 1227 learners enrolled in MOOCs offered by TU Delft. The aim was to provide deeper insight into participants’ experiences and the perceived impact of MOOCs on their personal and professio…
Systemic shifts required for higher education futures: Policy, pedagogy, and practice in the age of artificial intelligence and digital transformation
A Multidisciplinary Research Agenda for Artificial Intelligence, Education, Learning, and Instruction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping education, learning, and instruction, yet current research in this area is fragmented, often tool-specific, and dominated by short-term perspectives. This article develops a broader research agenda for AI and Education (AI&ED), bringing together Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) and AI literacy within an educational ecology framing. Using a collective writing methodology, an expert panel of elev…
Hybrid leadership configurations in networked learning communities in Singapore
Networked learning communities (NLCs) are increasingly advocated for teachers to grow professionally. Leadership of NLCs is essential to effectively unite members with diverse interests and expertise towards collective action. Hybrid leadership is proposed as a theoretical framework to examine leadership in NLCs. The article presents a case study of how leadership of seven institutionally supported NLCs in Singapore was configured, and how such c…
A meta systematic review of artificial intelligence in higher education: A call for increased ethics, collaboration, and rigour
Although the field of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) has a substantial history as a research domain, never before has the rapid evolution of AI applications in education sparked such prominent public discourse. Given the already rapidly growing AIEd literature base in higher education, now is the time to ensure that the field has a solid research and conceptual grounding. This review of reviews is the first comprehensive meta review …
Learnings Networks and Professional Development in Building Energy Management Systems Industry
The energy management systems industry in the built environment is currently an important topic. Buildings use about 40% of the total global energy worldwide. Therefore, the energy management system’s sector is one of the most influential sectors to realize changes and transformation of energy use. New data science technologies used in building energy management systems might not only bring many technical challenges, but also they raise significa…
Rethinking the entwinement between artificial intelligence and human learning: What capabilities do learners need for a world with AI?
The proliferation of AI in many aspects of human life—from personal leisure, to collaborative professional work, to global policy decisions—poses a sharp question about how to prepare people for an interconnected, fast-changing world which is increasingly becoming saturated with technological devices and agentic machines. What kinds of capabilities do people need in a world infused with AI? How can we conceptualise these capabilities? How can we …
Digital education strategies around the world: Practices and policies
Technology is omnipresent in our rapidly changing digital world. Capitalising on these technologies is paramount for education systems to support a modern workforce. This study presents a review of 10 countries, highlighting how different public education systems have integrated digital technologies for teaching and learning. These education systems were selected based on their high performance and continuous improvement in international assessme…
Developing capabilities: Lifelong learning in the age of AI
Due to the ongoing digitalisation of workplaces and educational settings, human activity underpinning learning and work is increasingly mediated by technology. The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into everyday technologies influences how people are exposed to information, interact, learn and make decisions. We argue that technology, data and evolving AI applications affect how humans enact and experience life and w…
Value creation: What matters most in Communities of Learning Practice in higher education
Teachers’ multicultural attitudes and perceptions of school policy and school climate in relation to burnout
There is a growing number of ethnically and culturally diverse students in Dutch junior vocational high schools. This article examines teachers’ multicultural attitudes, their perceptions of cultural diversity related to school policy and school climate, and the chance of general and diversity-related burnout. The present research also characterises teachers in terms of their multicultural attitudes and perceptions of school policy and climate th…
Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Multiculturalism in Relation to General and Diversity-Related Burnout
This study focuses on teachers’ general and diversity-related burnout in relation to teachers’ attitudes toward multiculturalism. Results are based on the responses of 120 teachers working at five different urban, ethnically diverse junior vocational high schools in the Netherlands. Analyses indicated that teachers with assimilative attitudes exhibited higher levels of general and diversity-related burnout, whereas there was no relationship betwe…
Visualizing Informal Professional Development Networks: Building a Case for Learning Analytics in the Workplace
Informal learning has become an important driver for professional development and workplace learning. Yet, however powerful informal learning may be, there is a problem when it comes to making it a real asset within organizations: Informal learning activities are spontaneous and mostly invisible to others. The aim of this study is to develop a method that helps raise awareness about these activities using a learning analytics approach. This metho…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Learning Analytics
This introduction to the special issue on learning analytics provides an overview of the area, acknowledging the research traditions it emerges from, such as computer-supported collaborative learning, academic analytics, and educational data mining, and the way the field aims to bridge from technological innovation to learning purposes. The introduction provides examples of areas and educational stakeholders who are served by and can benefit from…
