“…Detailed information regarding VR/AR in the educational context can be found in the work of researchers like Garzon et al [5], who have worked on a systematic review and metaanalysis of augmented reality in educational settings, and Beck's [16] work on augmented and virtual reality in education. In addition, the use of technological aids as tools for specifically assisting learners with disabilities has been the subject of numerous studies, and a large body of literature relating to this subject is available [19,20].…”

In addition to the established and widespread technological tools and trends of the past decades, such as the surge of mobile computing, high-speed networks and social media, new technologies utilizing the increased power and capabilities of modern computers is developing rapidly. Perhaps, no better example of this can be found than the rapid developments in Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), that have recently made the step from the laboratories and specialized, bespoke training applications of the past, to the mainstream. Advances in VR/AR have opened the floodgates to digital internships, virtual labs, and novel collaborative and experiential learning. The magnitude and impact of these emerging technologies is also evident on the significant interest in their application and use in various commercial, professional, and industrial contexts. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, the entertainment industries, specialized training, corporate demonstrations and conferencing, and prototyping and modelling in the technical and engineering areas. Since universities play a vital role in moulding tomorrow's talents, integrating such technologies can help them not only by supporting teaching and learning, but also by contributing to related research and enhancing the learning technology frameworks in their entirety. The aim of this research paper is to briefly discuss the position of these emerging technologies in the educational sector in general, and explore what their role, impact, and structure may be in the educational systems of the future with a focus on higher education in the U.A.E.

“…Internet technologies and digital tools have allowed innovative educators to experiment with new approaches to facilitating learning and empowering learners. Investigators report, for instance, that digital technologies can facilitate learner engagement (Chen et al, 2010), empower learning (Prasertsilp, 2013) or assist students with disabilities (Perelmutter et al, 2017;Stauter et al, 2019). Technology-enhanced learning is now a core organizing framework in education, allowing learners with an Internet connection to learn anytime and from anywhere.…”

Which learning analytics (LA) approach might be the best choice for your teaching and learning context? Learning analytics as a field of research and application seeks to collect, analyze, report, and interpret educational data with the goal of improving teaching and learning. But hasty adoption of learning analytics tools and methods that are simply convenient, promoted or available risks allowing learning analytics to ‘drive the pedagogical bus’. In this paper, we propose that careful reflection on pedagogical design choices and the learning theory that underpins them can and should inform selection of relevant learning analytics tools and approaches. We broadly review established learning theories and the implications of each for pedagogical design; for each design approach we offer examples of learning analytics most clearly aligned with the theoretical perspectives on learning and knowledge that have shaped it. Moreover, we argue that careful consideration of the learning theory underpinning the pragmatics of pedagogical design choices should guide LA implementation, and help educators and designers avoid the risk of gathering data on, and measuring outcomes for, activities that are not relevant to their pedagogical design or goals.

“…Even the use of technology in the field of education enables distance learning methods for students and makes the world of student learning smaller so that everyone can access global classroom education (Mattar, 2018;Singh, 2020). The assistant technology used to develop literacy skills is also intended for literacy in students with physical disabilities (Stauter et al, 2019).…”

<p>This study aims to reveal the role of religious education and the use of digital technology in improving the quality of sustainability Madrasa in Indonesia. The research method used is the study of literature. Previous studies only focused on the challenges and role of Islamic education in the digitalization era. The novelty of the research lies in the collaboration of Islamic education theory and new media theory in particular the use of digital technology in improving the quality of Madrasas sustainability in Indonesia. It is essential to know how contemporary Islamic education and digital technology can be developed as crucial factors in Madrasas' sustainability to face challenges in the current digital Era. The results of the study explained that the strengths, as well as the characteristics possessed by Madrasas, are the values of Islamic religiosity that can create a foundation of good character and behavior for the next generation of the nation. To face competition, improve quality, and survive in the world of education, Madrasas must be able to make the best use of digital technology in Madrasah governance, create digital libraries, improve the performance of teachers who are technology literate, and the application of digital technology in learning practices in Madrasa Ibtidaiyah (MI ), Madrasa Tsanawiyah (MTS), and Madrasa Aliyah (MA).</p>
