Deep Fakes Fake News And Misinformation In Online Teaching And Learning Technologies

Choosing the right technologies to match student learning outcomes in today's technology-integrated classrooms presents educators and instructional designers with multiple curricula and instructional design challenges including selecting appropriate technologies to match desired student learning outcomes. As students continue to have broad access to information from a variety of web-based platforms, educators and educational professionals are increasingly tasked with ensuring the information used to complete key assignments or tasks is authentic and from a verifiable resource. As such, the era of deep fakes in images, audios, videos, and digital texts is more prevalent than ever as numerous programs using artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly alter original content to fundamentally change the intent of original content. Moreover, students are being bombarded by a plethora of information that is either intentionally or mistakenly false and must be navigated with care. Accordingly, educators and educational professionals are now tasked with employing best practices to not only teach basic digital literacy and citizenship skills but also to recognize how technology-immersed learning environments interact with deep fakes and misinformation while equipping students with the tools necessary to recognize authentic and altered content. Deep Fakes, Fake News, and Misinformation in Online Teaching and Learning Technologies is a critical reference source that addresses rising concerns of students’ ability to navigate the multitude of false and altered information and content that is easily accessible through online platforms. The chapters go into deeper detail about how deep fakes, fake news, and mis- and dis-information have the potential of negatively affecting the fields of teaching and learning and the importance of student access to content-related tasks from legitimate, vetted resources that accurately reflect the desired information the student means to convey. The book seeks to reinforce the importance of digital literacy and digital citizenship among adolescents. This book is essential for teaching faculty, higher education faculty, higher education administrators, educational software developers, security specialists, information specialists, media specialists, librarians, educational researchers, and students looking for information on how deep fakes and fake news are being navigated within the context of online teaching and educational technologies.

The book consists of two parts, with the first part focusing on modeling complex systems using digital technologies, while the second part deals with the digitalization of economic processes and their management. The book results from research conducted by leading universities' teaching staff and contains the results of many years of scientific experiments and theoretical conclusions. The book is for a wide range of readers, including the teaching staff of higher educational institutions, graduate students, students in computer science and modeling, and management technologies, including economics. It is also a valuable resource for IT professionals and business analysts interested in using digital technologies to model and control complex systems.

Technology management education and business education are visibly intertwined in the current educational system. Certain efforts that have taken place in the recent past are the interinstitutional discourse around the world. Technology management is a dynamic and evolving profession, driven by changes in technology, globalization, sustainability, and the increasing importance of the service economy. The Handbook of Research on Future Opportunities for Technology Management Education is a comprehensive reference book that enables readers to comprehend the trends in technological changes and the need to orient business education and technology management in workplaces. The book serves to support with the formation and implementation of appropriate policies for technology management. Covering topics such as big data analytics, cloud computing adoption, and massive open online courses (MOOCs), this text is an essential resource for managers, technologists, teachers, executives, instructional designers, libraries, university researchers, students, faculty, and industry taught leaders.

As the use of technology spreads throughout communities, it is a natural progression that those resources will be given to classrooms. In order to provide the best education possible, all resources must be used. Learning, however, is not only done within the classroom; community learning (such as Society 4.0 and Society 5.0) involves remote learning and learning in the community. Cases on Technologies in Education From Classroom 2.0 to Society 5.0 presents case studies on the best practices from practitioners using future technologies for education beyond the classroom. The content within the book specifically includes Classroom 2.0 (networking of education institutions and learners), School 3.0 (situated learning in community venues beyond the classroom), Society 4.0 (sharing education practice and delivering learning remotely), and Society 5.0 (ubiquitous education in smart cities, towns, and villages). Covering topics such as cross-community education, ed-tech, and innovation paths, this book is an in-depth reference for administrators, schools, colleges, and universities looking to embed technology into the way they deliver education, as well as educational software developers, IT consultants, researchers, students, academicians, and teachers looking to enhance the way they educate their learners through technology.

On the Social Web, people share their enthusiasms and expertise on almost every topic, and based on this, learners can find resources created by individuals with varying expertise. Through this trend and the wide availability of video cameras and authoring tools, people are creating DIY resources and sharing their knowledge, skills, and abilities broadly. While these resources are increasing in availability, what has not been explored is the effectiveness of these resources, peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and how well this content prepares learners for professional roles. Practical Peer-to-Peer Teaching and Learning on the Social Web explores the efficacies of online teaching and learning with materials by peers and provides insights into what is made available for teaching and learning by the broad public. It also considers intended and unintended outcomes of open-shared learning online and discusses practical ethics in teaching and learning online. Covering topics such as learner roles and instructional design, it is ideal for teachers, instructional designers and developers, software developers, user interface designers, researchers, academicians, and students.

Since mobile devices, especially Chinese learning apps, have been leveraged to assist learning, many recorded and unrecorded efforts have been taken to enhance the mobile experience in learning Chinese around the world. To facilitate knowledge transfer and exchange between learners and instructors of Chinese, further efforts to compare mobile experience in learning Chinese among different age groups and cultures must be considered. Applying Mobile Technologies to Chinese Language Learning shares a variety of knowledge and skills on how to best leverage features and functions of mobile devices to enhance the mobile experience in learning Chinese. Additionally, it compares similarities and differences in mobile experience and provides a thorough overview to describe, explain, and predict these experiences in learning Chinese. Covering topics such as language learning apps, authentic language use, and mobile experiences, it is ideal for instructors, academicians, researchers, students, and practitioners.

Despite the proliferation of smart technologies, the challenges of information hygiene continue to wreak havoc on the information landscape, creating a critical need to explore and analyze how such a phenomenon can be handled.
