Aims

• To conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of emerging technologies, learning, and instruction

• To address the evolving needs of 21st-century learners and the modern job market

• To explore and develop Proof of Concept research in the area of learning technologies

• To publish high-impact research in scholarly journals

• To foster national and global research collaborations in learning technologies

In an increasingly technology-driven world, disruptive technologies—such as artificial intelligence—are transforming nearly every aspect of our lives. These innovations are reshaping the role of educators and redefining the profile of a graduate in the 21st century (US Department of Education, 2023). As a result, the expectations placed on teachers and educators are changing. They must adapt by integrating these disruptive technologies into teaching, learning, and assessment processes in ways that are intelligent, critical, ethical, and proportional.

To meet these challenges, there is a pressing need for interdisciplinary, applied research that explores how learning technologies can be effectively used to support educators and learners. Our research focuses on understanding the intersection of knowledge, learning, and teaching technologies, with a particular emphasis on the intelligent application of emerging technologies in educational contexts. Through this work, we aim to contribute to the development of solutions that support both educators and students in adapting to an increasingly digital and disruptive world.

Dr. Danny Glick

danny.glick@oranim.ac.il

works on a range of EdTech research projects related to emerging technologies in education. In K-12 education, he is investigating how learner factors are associated with successful game-based vocabulary learning, and examining the impact of interactive Geometry courses on young learners’ STEM learning.

In higher education, he is examining the impact of an AI- owered virtual-human training on student self- regulated learning (SRL) strategy practice and use, and investigating the learning processes and outcomes in interactive music-based language learning apps. Danny also established the pedagogical implementation strategy for Edusoft, a subsidiary of ETS, where he leads a team of EdTech

implementation specialists specializing in designing, implementing and evaluating large-scale technology-enhanced learning and assessment solutions, serving K-20 institutions in over 30 countries worldwide.
Danny is a former visiting scholar at the University of California, Irvine’s Digital Learning Lab, where he examined whether an interactive video-based SRL training can change Latino students’ learning behavior and improve performance. Dr. Glick is the author and co-editor of a wide range of publications, including, most recently, “Supporting Self-Regulated Learning and Student Success in Online Courses”..
