Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue regarding new media and technology in education. With the advancement of new media and technology, the focus in education has been how to effectively integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into teaching and learning. The use of various emerging types of media and digital technology tools plays an important role in enhancing students’ learning experiences and outcomes in K-16 education, and it is important to explore how these tools continue to create a significant influence in education.

This Special Issue focuses on investigating the innovative use and application of various emerging media and digital technology tools (e.g., web-based applications, digital games, mobile technologies, wearable devices, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, learning analytics, etc.) or devices in different educational contexts (e.g., face-to-face, hybrid/blended, online learning, STEM/STEAM, etc.) in K-16 education.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Design and development of the effective use of emerging media and technology tools in teaching and learning;
  • Assessment/evaluation in technology-supported environments;
  • Use of emerging technologies among pre- and in-service teachers;
  • Benefits, challenges, and/or trends and issues related to the application of emerging technologies in teaching or learning contexts;
  • Students’ learning experiences with the use of emerging technologies.

The credibility of online examinations in Higher Education is hardened by numerous factors and use-case scenarios. This paper reports on a longitudinal study, that spanned over eighteen months, in which various stakeholders from three European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) participated, aiming to identify core threat scenarios experienced during online examinations, and to, accordingly, propose threat models, data metrics and countermeasure features that HEI learning management systems can embrace to address the identified threat scenarios. We also report on a feasibility study of an open-source intelligent and continuous student identity management system, namely TRUSTID, which implements the identified data metrics and countermeasures. A user evaluation with HEI students (n = 133) revealed that the TRUSTID system is resilient and effective against impersonation attacks, based on intelligent face and voice identification mechanisms, and scored well in usability and user experience. Aspects concerning the preservation of privacy in storing, retrieving and processing sensitive personal data are also discussed. Full article

Addiction to new technologies (Internet, smartphone and video games) as well as cyber-aggression presents a growing incidence at a global level. Correlational research is proposed with a sample of n = 127 Costa Rican adolescents, with a mean age of 16.32 years, comprising 67 men and 60 women. The objective was to determine the prevalence of Internet, smartphone and video game addiction and its close relationship with cyberbullying (cyber-victim role, cyberbully role and mixed role) in the Costa Rican context. The results show a high rate of abusive use (connection time) of the Internet and “smartphones”, and the correlation study, multiple regressions, backward elimination method and network analysis show how the behavior of cyberbullies is moderately mediated by “Lack of control of Smartphone” and to a large extent by “Avoidance and social problem video games”, while that of victims is moderately mediated by “Avoidance and social problem video games”, and is slightly mediated for “Lack of control of Smartphone” and for “Lack of control of Internet”. In addition, there is a strong relationship between holding both the role of cyber-victim and cyberbully, developing feelings of revenge and lack of empathy. The practical implications, and the relevance of the socio-demographic and social explanatory variables of both phenomena are discussed. It is concluded that there is evidence of an explanatory and close relationship between the phenomena of cybervictimization, cyber-aggression and addiction to the Internet, smartphone and video games.
