Visual Learning Technologies in the Immersive VET
Humanity faces diverse technological, societal, and sociological challenges. Digitalization is being integrated into every aspect of our lives. Technologies are developing rapidly and the ways in which we live and learn are changing. Young people are acquiring information and learning in a different way than in the recent past. Education systems are no longer keeping up with the development of technology. Education systems need to adapt and introduce technologies that motivate students and ultimately contribute to higher learning goals.

Matte Painting and First-Person View Drones
In terms of the teaching process of matte painting, it is essential for students to develop a sound understanding of the relationship between virtual and physical environments. First-person view (FPV) drones are applied to matte painting courses. This provides students with a better learning environment using a digital education system. It indicates that the flow experience, learning interest, and continuous learning intention of students who use FPV drones in matte painting are significantly greater than those of students who only utilize traditional teaching methods.

Assessment Automation of Complex Student Programming Assignments
Grading student programming assignments is not an easy task. This task is even more challenging when talking about complex programming assignments at university graduate level. By complex assignments, researchers mean assignments where students have to program a complete application from scratch. For example, building a complete web application with a client and server side, whereby the application uses multiple threads that gather data from some external service (like the REST service, IoT sensors, etc.), processes these data and store them in some storage (e.g., a database), implements a custom protocol over a socket or something similar, implements their own REST/SOAP/GraphQL service, then sends or receives JMS/MQTT/WebSocket messages, etc. Such assignments give students an inside view of building real Internet applications. On the other hand, assignments like these take a long time to be tested and graded manually, e.g., up to 1 h per student. To speed up the assessment process, there are different automation possibilities that can check for the correctness of some application parts without endangering the grading quality.

Anxiety in Autistic Pupils
In a typical school day, young people need to do many tasks which rely on the ability to predict. Since prediction underpins cognitive and social skills, difficulties with prediction lead to multiple challenges to learning. Autistic people often have difficulty making predictions about other people’s behaviour, or understanding what they are required to do, contributing to high rates of anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty.

Expert and Inexpert Instructors Talking About Teaching
Using mixed-method social network analysis, researchers explored the discussions happening between instructors within a teaching-related network and how instructional expertise correlated with the content of those discussions. Instructional expertise, defined by the extent to which effective teaching practices were implemented, was measured for 82 faculty teaching at a Midwestern research university in the USA using the Faculty Inventory of Methods and Practices Associated with Competent Teaching (F-IMPACT).

Appreciative Inquiry in Education
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is an approach that believes improvement is more engaging when the focus is made on the strengths rather than the weaknesses. People tend to respond to positive statements but react to negative statements that concern them. Children are more sensitive to their self-worth and thrive on what makes them feel good, what makes them feel accepted, included and recognized. AI is a powerful tool that can be used in the field of Education to enable children discover what is good about them and dream of what they can do with this realization. Children of today are very sensitive and make decisions in haste which sometimes costs them their lives. In such a situation, AI plays a very vital role.

Use of Mobile Digital Technology for Digital Equity
During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote online mobile teaching and learning were introduced, globally, to ensure that education continued. The transition to online mobile teaching and learning did not alter society’s expectation of education institutions to provide their students equitable, quality education and life-long learning opportunities so that they can become critical responsible citizens capable of solving contextual problems in their local. Mobile digital equity means that all students, irrespective of their socioeconomic and cultural background, locale or history, can participate and engage with mobile digital technologies to improve their opportunities in life.

Immersive Virtual Classroom in Synchronous Remote Learning
Immersive virtual classroom (IVC) is a streaming platform that incorporates an augmented reality component into the materials used in synchronous learning and allows the production of engaging audiovisual educational resources as instructional videos. It requires no post-production time and was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic at the University of Cauca. IVC performs a live composition of audiovisual material (type slides) with video of the instructor, allowing an online interaction between the instructor and their slides while the interlocutors watch in a live transmission in full HD quality (1920 × 1080 pixels) and interact with the instructor via audio using a conventional videoconferencing platform.

Integrate Artificial Intelligence into Teaching
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer science fiction. It is so close to our daily life that there is even existing legislation and norming like in an ISO standard. But despite these developments, AI has barely entered the consciousness of ordinary users of IT. In an academic context, the importance of AI is well recognized and there are notable efforts to integrate AI into teaching and development of teaching, for example, in curricular development or even to pass an exam.
