This book brings together global scholars to examine critical developments in education, from the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various educational contexts to the evolving relationship between on-campus, remote, and hybrid learning and the rise of digitally native learners. As educational paradigms shift rapidly in response to globalization, digitization, and technological advances, this book provides a timely exploration of the future of higher education.

Organized into three sections, the book delves into:

• Generative AI in Higher EducationUnpacking the transformative potential and challenges of AI tools in teaching and learning.
• Remote, Virtual, and Hybrid Teaching in Higher EducationExploring innovative teaching modalities that redefine classroom boundaries.

• Educational Research and Emerging Pedagogical Trends in Higher EducationHighlighting cutting-edge research that addresses the evolving demands of modern learners.
  For educators, researchers, and EdTech professionals, this yearbook serves as an essential resource to stay ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of technology-enhanced learning.

  Aims to facilitate the exchange of pertinent trends and research findings Shows practical experiences derived from the development and experimentation of technology-enhanced learning components Encompasses a comprehensive spectrum spanning research endeavors, application development, and first-hand accounts
