Before Using Augmented and Virtual Reality Tools, Teachers Should Develop a Plan

Before Using Augmented and Virtual Reality Tools, Teachers Should Develop a Plan | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
As an early adopter and enthusiast for immersive technology in schools, I’ve had the opportunity to share ways to use augmented and virtual reality to transform learning with educators around the world. I provide staff development and training, and many of the teachers I work with are enthusiastic about trying new tools. For some, it’s the wow factor of using something novel or exciting; for others, it’s the allure of seeing their students highly engaged with new technologies.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

Agreed. Without a specific purpose or function, AR and VR tools will be just another gimmicky EdTech add-on that doesn't have real educational value.

Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI: Evidence-Based Approaches to Pedagogy, Ethics, and Beyond

 

Edited by Joseph Rene Corbeil & Maria Elena Corbeil (2025)

 

🏆 Winner of the 2025 Systems Thinking & Change Division Outstanding Book Award from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology!

 

If you are designing a course that addresses generative AI in education, this award-winning volume provides a research-driven, classroom-ready foundation. Rather than offering hype or fear, this book helps educators:

  • Ground AI integration in learning theory and research
  • Address academic integrity with thoughtful, practical strategies
  • Redesign assessment for an AI-enabled world
  • Explore ethics, bias, privacy, and institutional responsibility
  • Leverage AI to enhance critical thinking and digital literacy


Bookended by historical and forward-looking analyses of AI in education, the chapters move beyond surface-level discussions to provide evidence-based approaches for real classrooms—K–12, higher education, and professional learning environments.

This text is ideal for:

  • Undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs
  • Curriculum & Instruction courses
  • Educational Technology programs
  • Higher education faculty development
  • School technology coordinators and talent development professionals

Technology get advanced.
Diamondstone's curator insight, July 10, 3:18 AM
Artificial Intelligence is playing a significant role in both cyber defense and cybercrime. Security professionals are leveraging AI-powered tools to detect threats faster, analyze suspicious activities, and automate incident responses. At the same time, cybercriminals are using AI to create more convincing scams and sophisticated attacks, creating an ongoing battle between attackers and defenders.read more..https://pressearn.it.com/blog/?s=Technology+

Instructional design first: AI-assisted courseware for mastery and learner agency

Instructional design first: AI-assisted courseware for mastery and learner agency | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
In the AI learning era, course design must go beyond teaching students where to click or assuming that a polished product equals competence.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Because generative AI can present inaccurate information confidently, AI literacy requires students to identify credible sources, compare evidence, inspect outputs, and exercise independent judgment rather than accept results as authoritative."

Why AI in Education Is Four Things, Not One

"Many higher education institutions treat artificial intelligence (AI) in education as a single category. A four-layer framework helps institutional leaders distinguish AI adoption from AI readiness and identify gaps in AI policies and investments, including limited support for profession-specific AI competency."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

The proposed framework distinguishes four layers of AI integration: AI for education, AI in education, AI of the profession, and AI literacy.

"While each answers a different question, serves a different audience, and has a different primary lead, all four should be coordinated under one institutional strategy."

Understanding users’ intention to adopt AI avatars in online learning: an integrated model of TAM and DOI | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

This research examines the key factors associated with users’ intentions to adopt AI avatars within online learning environments. By combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory, a comprehensive model was proposed to assess the relationships between four primary design elements—perceived personalization, feedback quality, transparency, and interactivity—on five key constructs: observability, relative advantage, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust, as well as users’ attitudes and willingness to adopt."

39 meta-analyses, 39 positive findings: An audit finds serious flaws in research on AI in education 

39 meta-analyses, 39 positive findings: An audit finds serious flaws in research on AI in education  | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"Does artificial intelligence help students learn? That’s a question many teachers and parents want answered, as the new educational technology is rapidly spreading in classrooms. 

Normally, meta-analyses would be the right place to look, since they’re supposed to gather a scattered body of research and make sense of it by pointing to where the preponderance of evidence lies. And indeed, there are 39 of them, all reporting substantial benefits for AI in education. 

 

But it appears that the studies synthesizing that evidence are themselves unreliable — and the peer-review process failed to catch the problems."

Everyone is building AI agents. Who’s designing the stop button?

"In September 2025, researchers at Thinking Machines Lab ran the same prompt through a language model 1,000 times. They set the temperature to zero, a setting that should, in theory, make token selection deterministic.

 

They got 80 different completions from the same prompt, model, and settings.

 

What’s even more interesting is that all 1,000 outputs were identical for the first 102 tokens. The differences started at token 103, when the model described where Richard Feynman was born."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"We used to design predictable user flows. Now AI can interpret, decide, and act on its own. Here’s why the hardest design decisions happen where that autonomy ends."

Do Students Think There’s a Learning Crisis?

"Time-strapped and distracted, students say reading for pleasure is a luxury and AI is sometimes the best teacher on campus."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Their hopes and their fears about their own ability to do well in college, what they think about AI is a lot more nuanced than what many people might think. I think if there’s one lesson here, it’s listen to students. They might surprise you."

The AI reckoning in UX was 20 years in the making

"The UX job market right now is genuinely grim.

Jeff Sauro, PhD and Jim Lewis, PhD found that UX job postings are down 71 percent from their 2022 peak, and research postings are down even further. They also found that one in three organizations cut UX staff in a single year, the worst reading on record, worse than the one right after the 2008 financial crisis.

 

When companies trimmed their teams, UX roles took a bigger share of the cuts than their headcount would predict."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Everyone thinks AI is coming for design. The truth is uglier and older. The field has done this to itself twice before, and it’s about to do it again."
