Abstract:
The integration of Educational Technology (EdTech) into learning environments is transforming both formal education and family-based learning across the globe. In China, where the educational landscape is rapidly evolving, families play a crucial role in mediating the use of EdTech. This paper first explores the current state of EdTech use in households in China, including the types of EdTech tools used, the role of the family, and the existing regional differences. The influence of family factors on the adoption and effectiveness of EdTech for learning at home is further examined. Parents attitudes toward technology, particularly their willingness to engage with EdTech tools, play a pivotal role in determining how effectively these tools are used at home. Families socioeconomic status and parents education level also influence their ability to guide their children. Family relationships and how parents and children interact with technology also shape the effectiveness of EdTech. The paper concludes with recommendations for stakeholders, including parents, schools, and policymakers, on better leveraging EdTech for childrens academic and cognitive development. The findings suggest that family-centered EdTech design, enhanced collaboration between schools and families, and continuous parental learning can help maximize the potential of these technologies to improve learning experiences.

Abstract:
This paper examines the extent to which an initiative in India, namely EdTech Tulna, has been able to move towards decolonization of EdTech by shaping the discourse around the adoption and use of good quality and contextual educational technology solutions for Indian learners. Set up as a collaboration among researchers, practitioners, teachers and governments, EdTech Tulna aims to encourage the selection of EdTech solutions that are appropriate for the community they are designed for, rather than adopting solutions that market themselves or those that have been successful in Western countries. The paper adopts the lens of justice-oriented design and first critically examines the design of the EdTech Tulna index. Then, it examines the success and hurdles of the collaborative efforts towards the implementation of contextualized and evidence-based solutions in the ecosystem. By analyzing stakeholder interviews and meeting notes, this paper addresses two questions. First, how does Tulna assist in identifying quality contextual solutions that are likely to enhance the learning of children in India? Second, how do state government officials and practitioners collaborate with researchers to use research-based standards for selecting such solutions? The discussions outline the progress and draw a broad contour of the road ahead.

Abstract:
Adopting educational technology remains a critical challenge in developing countries, particularly given limited resources and the urgency of achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 by 2030. This paper aims to create and validate a model for educational technology adoption for developing countries (ETADC) that addresses the gaps in existing models by incorporating education-specific factors and local contexts. The ETADC model integrates foundational theories with local and educational elements within the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework, empowering educators to enhance teaching–learning experiences for a tech-driven world. The ETADC framework includes six components—four sourced from established theories and two based on research into the experiences of in-service and pre-service teachers in developing countries regarding educational technology adoption. These components formulate an appropriate model for evaluating, identifying, and implementing educational technologies within developing countries’ educational contexts. Validation through meta-analysis and two-stage structural equation modeling in R Studio version 4.4.0 with data from 30 high-impact studies (sample size N = 8934) confirmed the model’s effectiveness, showcasing a strong fit and significant path coefficient. This model has been used to evaluate certain educational technologies for further adoption. ETADC offers a practical and scalable roadmap for sustainable EdTech adoption, potentially supporting educational transformation and development worldwide, particularly in under-resourced contexts.

Abstract:
This study set out to investigate how combining jugaad innovation with Education Technology (EdTech) can help solve the ‘learning crisis’ in developing countries. The problem centres on education quality; large volumes of underprivileged students in developing countries are attending school, but many fail to learn basic skills (The World Bank, 2018:3). Globally, over 617m students are failing to achieve minimum proficiency standards in maths and reading (UNESCO, 2017). Consequently, the global problem in education is not simply about the provision of learning but also ensuring high quality (Pearson PLC, 2018). This research explores how jugaad innovation, including key themes such as the jugaad innovation process and jugaad operating models, could inspire the development and use of EdTech in order to improve education quality for the masses in developing nations. In order to investigate how jugaad innovation theory and EdTech can help solve the ‘learning crisis’, this study used a case study approach and four semistructured interviews. The investigation relied on understanding the interviewees’ experiences, how they describe them, and the meaning behind those experiences. As jugaad theory is not well understood in practice (Agnihotri, 2015; Ajith & Goyal, 2016; Jain & Prabhu, 2015), a case study with semi-structured interviews achieved a better insight, through uncovering rich, empirical evidence to answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions (Ridder, 2017). Jain & Prabhu’s (2015) work highlighted three core principles of jugaad innovation: frugality, flexibility and inclusivity. Jugaad is a verb to describe the innovation process itself, and a noun to characterise the process outcomes. Conceptual views suggest jugaad innovators put diffused education technologies through a jugaad innovation process, whilst utilising a human rights-based approach to education quality. Therefore helping to deliver quality learning for consumers at the bottom of the pyramid. However, the findings of this study advocate that although a human-rights based approach is essential; high quality learning content, educational scaffolding, an understanding of factors impacting technology adoption and the use of traditional teaching methods are also important in solving the ‘learning crisis’. A partnership operating model is required to combine jugaad innovation with EdTech; and to scale and commercialise such innovations. Findings also identified a fourth, holistic principle of the jugaad innovation process, namely, iterative design. The study’s findings put forward ways to implement a frugal, flexible, inclusive and iterative EdTech innovation process. Results confirm that education quality is multidisciplinary (EdQual, 2010). Jugaad innovators must partner with state departments of education and/or NGO’s to access their network of learners, resources and capabilities. This will serve learners at the bottom of the pyramid in volume and mitigate against the problem of ultrathin per consumer margins (Kansal, 2016).

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to better understand K-12 district leaders' reasoning and processes for selecting and deploying EdTech instructional products, including which, if any, types of data are used to support decision-making.Design/methodology/approachThis multisite case study of educational technology (EdTech) decision-making comprises five purposely selected districts at the leading edge of EdTech innovation. The unit of analysis was a recent purchase they had made of an instructional, classroom-oriented digital product (defined as a product used by teachers and/or students in the classroom for the purposes of student learning). The key leader heading up the purchase was interviewed, as were other leaders and a teacher who were involved in the decision-making process.FindingsThe processes districts used to make their purchasing decisions involved teachers, district leaders and technical specialists who considered usability, usage data and alignment with student learning and interoperability, respectively. While in some cases there were plans to collect data on student learning outcomes, districts did not uniformly emphasize that in their decision-making processes. Instead, the type of educational technology tool that was purchased influenced whether or not districts planned to seek out student-level outcome data as evidence of the product's efficacy. For the purchases associated with access to content, school leaders considered usage or log data generated by the program itself as sufficient indication that the program is “working.” Where the software's functionality encompassed skill development, leaders stated future plans to look at student-level outcomes as a means for judging if the program “worked.”Originality/valueFew accounts of district decision-making about the adoption of educational technology innovations are present in the literature. These five cases provide insight into the role evidence plays in decisions to adopt educational technology.

Abstract:
Educational technology (EdTech) plays a vital role in teaching and learning with e-learning ensuring equal access to education and continuity even when contact classes are impossible. The South African departments of education are making efforts to realize the use of technology in schools. The COVID-19 pandemic has an adverse impact on the education sector and accelerated the adoption of technology by many institutions with some shifting to distant learning to ensure academic continuity. There are various educational technologies. The aim of the study is to explore public high school learners’ perspectives on e-learning and the challenges in its adoption. Secondary data is used to draw conclusion. An interpretivism paradigm with an exploratory sequential mixed-method approach is used. The findings show that e-learning implementation needs careful consideration and planning. The results of this study indicate that lack of access to devices, the high cost of internet access, a perceived lack of interest among teachers and perceived ineffectiveness are the key challenges to e-learning adoption in South African public schools within poor communities. Addressing key challenges will ensure a successful implementation of e-learning.

Abstract:
In recent years, “EdTech” and “E-Learning” concepts have become part of people’s routine. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the conception of social development, the nature of progress, and the application of information technologies. How reasonable is the development of distance learning? This question was raised by many actors. Meanwhile, during the most acute outbreaks of the pandemic, there was a sharp adoption of entire measures for the EdTech introduction around the world, including the Arab states. This article looks into characteristics of the situation in the field of educational innovative technologies in the states of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) in the period preceding the pandemic and in the last year and a half. The emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of the development of the situation in each of the countries: despite the obvious similarity of the economic, political, and cultural fields, all six Member States of the Council had different attitudes to the goals of education, to the reform of this area, and to the use of technology and EdTech in education process. The article is divided into two main parts according to the chronological principle: The first briefly describes the processes of implementing educational technologies until 2020 characterizing the overall dynamics of the development of the sector in each of the six countries. The second part similarly covers the period of the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic as well as introduces the measures and steps taken in the GCC countries, provides analysis of their effectiveness and the reasons for their success or failure. The problem of the research seems to be extremely relevant despite the little amount of academic works devoted to this topic. Further study of the experience of Arab countries will not only allow to make several assumptions about the effectiveness of certain measures in other countries (e.g., in Russia) but also can become the basis for a broad comparative study covering the entire region of the Middle East and North Africa.

Abstract:
This study sought to examine students’ behavioral intention to use EduTech (Educational Technology) at the tertiary level education in Bangladesh. Using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model as a base theory, the study attempted to explore the determinants that are swaying students’ intention to adopt EduTech in Bangladesh. A total of one-hundred and forty-nine respondents were chosen randomly from three faculties of AIUB such as Business administration, Engineering and Science, were finally provided with the structured and self-administrated questionnaires followed by brief instructions to fill out the questionnaire. Moreover, collected data were encoded into SPSS for descriptive analysis such as demographic analysis, while SEM simulation, namely SMART PLS 2.0 was employed to analyze reliability and to test the hypotheses stated. Result of the study confirmed that the adoption and the usage behavior of EdTech at the tertiary level is highly influenced by Effort Expectancy, Facilitating Condition, and Perceived Behavioral Control. Findings of the study could be an important outline for educators, EduTech vendors, and service providers for formulating effective adoption strategies with regard to EduTech resources.

Abstract:
This empirical study examines the implementation of Eventify, a web-based platform addressing chronic inefficiencies in rural Philippine secondary school event coordination through QR-enabled attendance tracking and dynamic scheduling algorithms. Confronting analog workflow fragmentation and digital adoption barriers, the research presents a framework integrating iterative Scrum development with academic temporal cycles and dual evaluation metrics: ISO 25010 technical standards and psychosocial adoption factors from Davis' Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Technical assessments by 20 IT specialists demonstrated exceptional system reliability (α=0.93) across critical operational parameters, including 98.4% uptime during peak concurrent access and perfect attendance record integrity across 2,143 transactions. Pedagogical evaluations with 30 stakeholders revealed significant alignment between perceived utility (M=4.65) and behavioral adoption intent (M=4.58), with path analysis identifying system responsiveness (β=0.79) rather than interface simplicity as the primary adoption driver. The platform induced measurable behavioral shifts: 73% reduction in post-event administrative reconciliation time and 41% increase in student-initiated extracurricular activities through self-service modules. These emergent outcomes suggest the system's capacity to transcend operational objectives by fostering participatory governance in institutional planning processes. This work contributes three substantive advancements: 1) A replicable model for educational technology integration in Global South institutions 2) Empirical validation of agility-bureaucracy compatibility through Scrum methodology adapted to academic calendars 3) Quantitative demonstration of technical robustness as a prerequisite for psychosocial adoption in resource-constrained environments. The findings challenge conventional edtech scalability paradigms while advancing SDG 4 and 9 through context-adaptive digital transformation. Future research directions include federated architecture development for inter-school event interoperability and machine learning-driven participation forecasting models.

Abstract:
While technological innovations are designed with the users in mind, this same design approach—designing technology to enhance the students’ learning experience—often falls short of acceptance with teachers and educators. This paper suggests a theoretical model with which EdTech can be designed to enhance the adoption of technology among teachers. At its core, the Educational Technology Acceptance Model (EdTAM) utilizes a double-user scenario, focusing on both the needs and concerns of teachers as well as the needs of students. As a result, a proof of concept in the form of an educational game designed in strict accordance with the EdTAM Model is presented. Thus showing that the theoretical model can be transferred into the design of a real-world product. A further study testing the effect of the model and the produced games acceptance rate with teachers is planned to support the theoretical model with empirical data.

Abstract:
Sex education is vital for promoting healthy relationships and preventing sexual exploitation by teaching boundaries, consent and abuse recognition. Customized strategies are needed for children, balancing age-appropriate content with parental and community perspectives. Our study assessed Moroccan parents’ views on sex education’s adoption in schools. Conducted in Taza city, the survey targeted 1946 parents of students over 7 years old. Using association rule mining (ARM), we analyzed their responses. Therefore, Apriori algorithm was implemented to discover strong association rules within parents’ selected responses. Results showed that 74.53% of parents aged 19-30 support sexual education, citing its absence as a factor in child abuse. Meanwhile, 60.48% of those aged 31-59 with university education believe psychological disorders contribute to assaults. While some fathers (32.48%) and some mothers (67.52%) support sexual education, others don’t, but all agree on restricting children’s internet use until age 16 to avoid harmful content. These findings can inform comparative studies, aid decision-makers and enhance AI-based EdTech systems by offering insights into sex education perceptions.

Abstract:
Business Intelligence (BI) workflows benefit from the improved access to insights that Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) can bring, allowing for swifter democratization of data access and improved decision-making across various domains such as finance, retail, life sciences, education technology (EdTech), etc. Although existing literature discusses theoretical models or particular case studies, it does not provide a practical framework to integrate GenAI into BI. This study fills the gap by devising a pragmatic framework employing the qualitative research method featuring semi-structured interviews with professionals in varied disciplines. The results show that GenAI can improve the effectiveness of the interaction between technical experts and business users. Successful adoption, however, hinges on clarity of the organizational goals, effectiveness of the data management, user training, and system integration. Organizations can apply the proposed framework to integrate GenAI into BI systems to focus on operational excellence and support for real-time, data-driven decisions. These insights serve to advance BI practices, and act as a precursor to the future research in the domain of AI-integrated BI workflows.

Abstract:
Educational institutions are transferring analytics computing to the cloud to reduce costs. Any data transfer and storage outside institutions involve serious privacy concerns, such as student identity exposure, rising untrusted and unnecessary third-party actors, data misuse, and data leakage. Institutions that adopt a “local first” approach instead of a “cloud computing first” approach can minimize these problems. The work aims to foster the use of local analytics computing by offering adequate nonexistent tools. Results are useful for any educational role, even investigators, to conduct data analysis locally. The novelty results are twofold: an open-source JavaScript library to analyze locally any educational log schema from any LMS; a front-end to analyze Moodle logs as proof of work of the library with different educational metrics and indicator visualizations. Nielsen heuristics user experience is executed to reduce possible users’ data literacy barrier. Visualizations are validated by surveying teachers with Likert and open-ended questions, which consider them to be of interest, but more different data sources can be added to improve indicators. The work reinforces that local educational data analysis is feasible, opens up new ways of analyzing data without data transfer to third parties while generating debate around the “local technologies first” approach adoption.

Abstract:
In recent years, the use of technology in educational contexts including e-learning has become increasing ubiquitous. While it is commonly believed that technology use can facilitate the process of teaching and learning, it is of paramount importance to adopt a Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) to address the needs of students who might experience difficulty because of cultural, linguistic and technological obstacles that might be inherent in the use of educational technology. With this consideration in mind, the present paper reports on the findings of a qualitative research involving three case studies based on structured interviews with three university professors who are experts in developing digital tools and applications for educational purposes. The participants recorded their responses to interview questions on Google Docs over a period of one month, and the data was analysed for significant themes. The data revealed that all participants believe that cultural, methodological and pedagogical barriers can significantly affect the use of educational technology in face-to-face and online classes and can consequently impact student learning. The emergent themes in the data indicate that a solid understanding of the local context in which the process of teaching and learning takes place, flexibility in terms of one’s methodological approaches to teaching and embracing differences in students’ knowledge and abilities can help ensure students succeed in their academic endeavours, they are uncritically accepted and treated in an equitable manner regardless of their competency level. All three participants in the study believe that while there are some cultural and linguistic barriers in e-learning contexts and in developing and using technological applications for students, through adopting the core principles of a culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP), they have been successful in achieving the course learning outcomes for their students. They argue that by adapting the language used in applications to the linguistic level of students, using familiar and culturally relevant themes, and adopting a blended approach in which technology complements face-to-face instruction, a better dialogue is established between the teacher and the students, and learning is thus facilitated. The findings of this study reveal that becoming familiar with the local culture, the relevant prescriptions and proscriptions can furnish the education technology developers with the requisite knowledge for creating applications that are relevant to students’ lives and are thus more effectual. Similarly, the results show that educational applications should provide a suitable platform to create and maintain an ongoing intrapersonal and interpersonal dialogue for the students to help them engage in the process of learning in a regular and consistent manner. Implications for pedagogy and research will be discussed.

It is a basic right as per Article 21-A in the Constitution of India and the government’s responsibility to make sure everyone has a quality education. The COVID- 19 pandemic had disrupted the Indian Education system. Education Institutions in India follow the traditional system of learning i.e.,face-to-face lectures in the classroom. The unforeseen epidemic called Coronavirus(COVID- 19) shook the entire world. This situation posed a challenge to the globaleducation system and forced educators to shift to an online style of teaching. Numerous universities around the world have completely digitalized their operations understanding the dire need of this current situation. The educational institutions are adopting online mode of learning globally which has been initiated from the pandemic. Thus, the quality improvement of online teaching is pivotal at this stage. The concern isn't about whether online teaching styles can give quality education, it's rather how academic institutions will be suitable to borrow online learning in such a massive manner. The extremity of COVID- 19 brought an unprecedented opportunity for the educational technology (Edtech) sector in India. The effort has been made in this paper to put some light on Education Technology (Edtech) as well as some major Edtech companies in India, Impact of COVID-19 on Indian Education System, SWOC analysis to bring out major strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges prevailing in the education sector and also suggest how educational technologies turn this COVID- 19 extremity, which has a major impact on the education sector in India, into openings to make a digital education system.

PurposeThis conceptual study investigates the adoption of education technology (EdTech) products among college students, focusing on identifying the key factors influencing the adoption process within educational institutions. Technology integration in education has rapidly gained prominence, with EdTech offering innovative solutions to enhance teaching and learning experiences. However, understanding the determinants that affect EdTech adoption remains critical for its successful implementation and impact. This paper aims (1) to identify the factors influencing the adoption of EdTech by college students (2) to create a conceptual model that shows the connections between the elements that lead to college students adopting EdTech.Design/methodology/approachThe research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative data analysis and conceptual modeling to achieve the objectives. The underlying knowledge required to create a qualitative data gathering tool was obtained through a thorough literature analysis on innovation dissemination, educational psychology and technology adoption. College students, teachers and administrators participated in semi-structured interviews, focus groups and surveys to provide detailed perspectives on their attitudes about and experiences with EdTech. The Scopus and Web of Science databases are searched for relevant information in an organized manner in order to determine the factors influencing the adoption of EdTech. Second, an extended version of the technology adoption model is adopted to develop a qualitative data-based conceptual framework to analyze EdTech adoption in the Indian context.FindingsOverall, by highlighting the critical components that emotionally influence college students' adoption of EdTech products in educational institutions, this course adds to the body of information already in existence. The conceptual framework model serves as a roadmap for educational stakeholders seeking to leverage EdTech effectively to enrich the learning environment and improve educational outcomes. By recognizing the significance of the identified factors, academic institutions can make informed decisions to foster a climate conducive to successful EdTech integration.Research limitations/implicationsA comprehensive conceptual framework model was developed based on qualitative data analysis to illustrate the interrelationships between the identified factors influencing EdTech adoption.

Abstract:
AbstractWith growing expectations to use AI-based educational technology (AI-EdTech) to improve students’ learning outcomes and enrich teaching practice, teachers play a central role in the adoption of AI-EdTech in classrooms. Teachers’ willingness to accept vulnerability by integrating technology into their everyday teaching practice, that is, their trust in AI-EdTech, will depend on how much they expect it to benefit them versus how many concerns it raises for them. In this study, we surveyed 508 K-12 teachers across six countries on four continents to understand which teacher characteristics shape teachers’ trust in AI-EdTech, and its proposed antecedents, perceived benefits and concerns about AI-EdTech. We examined a comprehensive set of characteristics including demographic and professional characteristics (age, gender, subject, years of experience, etc.), cultural values (Hofstede’s cultural dimensions), geographic locations (Brazil, Israel, Japan, Norway, Sweden, USA), and psychological factors (self-efficacy and understanding). Using multiple regression analysis, we found that teachers with higher AI-EdTech self-efficacy and AI understanding perceive more benefits, fewer concerns, and report more trust in AI-EdTech. We also found geographic and cultural differences in teachers’ trust in AI-EdTech, but no demographic differences emerged based on their age, gender, or level of education. The findings provide a comprehensive, international account of factors associated with teachers’ trust in AI-EdTech. Efforts to raise teachers’ understanding of, and trust in AI-EdTech, while considering their cultural values are encouraged to support its adoption in K-12 education.

Abstract:
The onset of COVID-19 made governments and other education actors prioritize distance learning, particularly through education technologies (EdTechs). Most sub-Saharan African countries adopted and adapted this approach. This paper examines the extent of EdTechs’ deployment in Kenya during the COVID-19 pandemic among marginalized and vulnerable populations. A cross-sectional study design was adopted for the study from which this paper drew its data, with both secondary and primary data utilized. The findings show that marginalized/vulnerable learner populations are still left out on EdTech supported learning. This article proposes salient recommendations that could help advance inclusive education discussion and related EdTechs’ discourse.

Abstract:
Despite extensive adoption and substantial investment in educational technology (edtech) tools, their full potential to enhance learning remains largely untapped. Addressing this gap requires improving research infrastructure, fostering collaborative environments, and promoting domain-specific educational research through innovative methods. This article reflects on lessons learned from academia–industry partnerships in edtech, focusing on engagements aimed at driving impactful outcomes and strengthening evidential support for children’s edtech. In the absence of government-funded infrastructure for sustaining these partnerships, we established an international, virtual Centre for edtech Impact to connect researchers, industry and practitioners. Drawing on examples from the Centre’s work, I highlight the challenges and opportunities in edtech academia–industry collaborations and outline pathways for future partnerships to develop more effective technologies for children’s learning.

Abstract:
PurposeThis research intends to analyse the trend in educational technology (EdTech) over the last 20 years using systematic scientific mapping and bibliometric analysis and how it relates to the Indian context. Considering the anticipated growth in this field over the previous three years post-pandemic, an existing literature analysis is required. This study aims to map the existing intellectual structure in EdTech applications to extend the knowledge base further in this field. This study also intends to research how the Indian education sector compares in terms of the research output for the EdTech sector, considering the increased government focus on online learning as per the education policy in 2020. The study's findings will pave the way for sustainable research that will be extended in the future.Design/methodology/approachBibliometric analysis is conducted on the manuscripts extracted from Web of Science databases for the last 20 years (from 2003 to 2023). This study uses a descriptive research approach for bibliometric analysis as, by nature, this is an exploratory investigation, and no physical or existing experiment can be performed on the quantification, characteristic or productivity of EdTech applications. VoS Viewer and R software are extensively considered for a detailed bibliometric analysis.FindingsE-learning, blended learning and distance education emerged as the most frequently used keywords. The results reveal that technology adoption, higher education, technology and modelling are the most researched topics in this field.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is limited to the last 20 years' database obtained from the Web of Science database and limited to educational, management and operation databases only.Practical implicationsThe paper intends to analyse the global scenario of EdTech research and ensures that the paper will effectively connect with researchers, educators, policymakers and practitioners from different parts of the world. The results derived from the bibliometric analysis, cluster analysis and identification of key authors, journals and countries can contribute towards the improved contribution in this area.Originality/valueThe paper discusses the research in EdTech over the last two decades and effectively tries to bridge the gap in global research. Integrating systematic scientific mapping and bibliometric analysis is an innovative way to assess the growth and impact of EdTech. Considering the post-pandemic scenario and the government's emphasis on online learning, these are consistent with current developments.

Abstract:
Purpose Educational technology (“EdTech”) served a pivotal role in keeping schools functioning during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known about EdTech leaders’ roles in shaping this response. This study explores EdTech leaders’ perspectives and backgrounds, their response to the pandemic, how they envision their roles as educators, and their perspectives about how technology facilitates educational innovation. Design/Approach/Methods This study uses a qualitative, phenomenological approach to understand how 11 EdTech leaders experienced the pandemic. Participants were recruited for interviews in summer 2021 via purposive sampling to include diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Data were analyzed inductively. Findings The findings show that a four-category typology can be used to describe EdTech leaders’ diverse backgrounds and experiences. Leaders emphasized equity and open collaboration in their pandemic responses, by expanding access to their tools and adapting their products as users’ needs evolved. EdTech leaders anticipate streamlined user experiences, improvements in online learning, and increased adoption of artificial intelligence and simulated learning environments. Originality/Value This study addresses a gap in the research concerning EdTech leaders’ perspectives on their efforts to support educators and their experiences during the pandemic. We hope this study sparks additional research on EdTech leaders’ experiences and roles in education.

Abstract:
Education technology (EdTech) is at the forefront of many universities' desires to improve, evolve and better the student experience. From learning management systems to hybrid capabilities, many processes are updated to ensure relevance in the face of challenges and modern trends (Josué et al., 2023). These updates can be small and incremental but can also come in the form of large-scale, institution-wide EdTech rollouts. Due to the scale and the diversity of our institutions, this is fraught with issues including aligning technology with pedagogy, ensuring digital literacy and training for educators (Bower, 2017), and infrastructure adequacy (Al-Busaidi and Al-Shihi, 2012). Universities invest heavily in resources to address challenges and promote sustained EdTech adoption (Deacon et al., 2022). Strategic and flexible educators, sometimes with differing perspectives from their institutions, can leverage these resources to achieve their individual educational objectives. This case study, situated at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), involved one such large scale EdTech adoption in the form of an institutionally wide digital assessment platform, InsperaTM, with a view to streamline and enhance the online assessment experience. This had a significant impact, reaching approximately 67 courses and 8.8k students in its first 3 terms of piloting, and to aid this implementation UNSW deployed multiple resources in the form of dedicated staff, in-depth training and central support for high stakes exams. With many educators already using other forms of digital assessment, the adoption was not uniformly accepted, creating friction and causing some to reject the platform. It also created opportunities for others. Wanting to uplift a newly inherited course, Dr Megan Kalucy saw InsperaTM, and the resources associated, as an ideal opportunity to improve student experience and reduce educator workload. With the support of the implementation team, Dr Kalucy adopted InsperaTM for specific in-course assessments, reaching approximately 300 students. Paper-based, short-answer, invigilated assessments, which were administratively inefficient and suffered from delays were replaced by weekly multiple-choice-question (MCQ) quizzes in InsperaTM. Automated marking, immediate feedback, and broader content coverage resulted in an overall improved experience for both staff and students, which was reflected in improved student feedback and reduced workload. This work investigates sector wide issues focusing on the research question of how educators can leverage collective EdTech resources to achieve individual goals. It addresses two key challenges; achieving widespread institutional adoption of EdTech and helping educators with increasing workloads find the time and resources to update their courses. A mixed-methods approach was used, employing a case study methodology comparing student satisfaction data, before and after, to validate the improvements made to the course through the adoption of Inspera. Qualitative data from staff and students was used to inform, implement and revise these improvements. The study found that technology adoption in the educational landscape is not exclusively dependent on knowledge of advancements, but more significantly about leveraging the resources available (Oyetade et al., 2020). Here, the universities adoption of Inspera employed strategies such as training, hands-on support, as well as platform and student support, lowering the energy barrier for improvement to Education Focused staff. These resources were deployed practically and with a focus on educators, increasing the number of early adopters and the uptake of Inspera across the university. This case study also shows that the diverse needs of various disciplines need to be considered for uniform EdTech adoption, as a ‘one size fits all’ approach is often ineffective.

Abstract:
This study centres on factors influencing educational technology (EdTech) adoption in vocational training programmes with a primary and particular focus on Zimbabwean vocational training centres (VTCs). The main objective of the study was to determine and critically examine the factors influencing EdTech adoption in vocational training programmes. The study identified the following factors influencing EdTech adoption in these programmes: participant level factors examined include demographics, computer skills and motivation and institutions level factors at very different academic levels. Quantitative data were gathered from students at VTCs, whilst qualitative data were obtained from lecturers and staff, also at VTCs, to complement the quantitative data. The research instruments used were questionnaires, interview guides and observation guides. Both probability and non-probability samples were used. Thus, the target population for this study consisted of 3 500 participants drawn from five VTCs. Research has concluded that two beliefs, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have been identified as important user acceptance criteria. The study also found out that participant‘s desire for vocational learning may also influence motivation and academic achievement. The study recommends that investing in education is a potent means that could be explored to fast-track technological progress, economic growth and boosting citizens' capacities and bridging the gap of educational learning and opportunities between learners from different economic backgrounds.

Abstract:
Abstract Trust is crucial for teachers’ adoption of AI-enhanced educational technologies (AI-EdTech), yet how this trust is formed and maintained remains poorly understood. An aspect of the system design that seems profoundly related to trust is transparency, which can be achieved through explainable AI (XAI) approaches. The present study seeks to explore the dynamic nature of teachers’ trust in AI EdTech systems, how it relates to understandability, and XAI’s role in enhancing it. Building upon Hoff and Bashir’s ‘trust in automation’ model (2015), we propose a theoretical model that connects these factors. We validated the applicability of the proposed model to AI in Education context using a mixed-method, within-subject design that measured understandability, trust, and acceptance of AI recommendations among 41 in-service chemistry teachers. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the three factors, as anticipated by the model, and demonstrated the heterogeneous understandability of different XAI schemes, with domain-driven schemes superior to data-driven ones. In addition, the study reveals two additional factors influencing teachers’ adoption of AI-EdTech: pedagogical perspectives and workload reduction potential. The study provides a theoretical explanation of how different XAI schemes impact trust through understandability. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for greater attention to XAI, which fosters trust and facilitates the acceptance of AI-EdTech.

Abstract:
Purpose – There are five factors acting as a barrier to the effective evaluation of educational technology (edtech), which are as follows: premature timing, inappropriate techniques, rapid change, complexity of context and inconsistent terminology. The purpose of this paper is to identify new evaluation approaches that will address these and reflect on the evaluation imperative for complex technology initiatives. Approach – An initial investigation of traditional evaluative approaches used within the technology domain was broadened to investigate the evaluation practices within social and public policy domains. Realist evaluation, a branch of theory-based evaluation, was identified and reviewed in detail. The realist approach was then refined, proposing two additional necessary steps to support mapping the technical complexity of initiatives. Findings – A refined illustrative example of a realist evaluation framework is presented, including two novel architectural edtech domain reference models to support mapping. Practical implications – Recommendations include building individual evaluator capacity; adopting the realist framework; the use of architectural edtech domain reference models; phased evaluation to first build theories in technology “context” and then iteratively during complex implementation chains; and community contribution to a shared map of technical and organisational complexity. Originality – This paper makes a novel contribution by arguing the imperative for a theory-based realist approach to help redefine evaluative thinking within the IT and complex system domain. It becomes an innovative proposal with the addition of two domain reference models that tailor the approach for edtech. Its widespread adoption will help build a shared evidence base that synthesizes and surfaces “what works, for whom, in which contexts and why”, benefiting educators, IT managers, funders, policymakers and future learners.
