This book examines four distinct areas of education that suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Asian and African regions, and tackles the challenges and barriers that came as a result of the shift to online learning. Presenting perspectives from China, Malaysia, Nigeria, and the UAE, chapters frame research within the context of "innovation experiences" to explore transformative learning theory, and set out the ways in which leaders, educators, students, and parents adapted to learning during the pandemic. Foregrounding four central topics (challenges and barriers; teaching and learning; assessment; educational technology; and interactive learning environments), the volume provides globally relevant findings and implications for the effects of the pandemic on learning in these regions, and furthers the field of educational technology more broadly. Topics covered range from teaching and leading in the online learning environment to educational technology and the interactive learning space. Sharing innovative experiences to aid progression and share best practice for online learning moving forward, the book will be highly relevant to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of higher education, online and eLearning, and technology in education.

This edited volume sets out the current issues that face educational administrative processes and resources across the globe and provides implication‑lead responses for how best to tackle new challenges that arise.Featuring contributions and perspectives from the UAE, Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Portugal, Spain, Iran and the United States, this diverse and truly international volume discusses the management of resources, tasks and communication key to the smooth running of educational institutions. Divided into four distinct parts, the chapters examine educational administration from theoretical, conceptual and empirical angles, focusing on theories, administrative procedures, decision support systems and management techniques in educational administration, as well as reward management and digital leadership. This book bridges the gap in educational administration by showcasing new trends across many countries and examining the role of theory in the field using examples of classical and contemporary approaches, systems theory, leadership theory, and theories of change and innovation.Ultimately presenting a problem‑solving approach to the current educational administrative situation globally, this volume will be of interest to researchers, scholars and faculty members involved with education administration research, educational administration theory and leadership. Practitioners working on educational process improvement and organizational studies will also benefit from the volume.

This highly topical book provides an integrated framework for understanding how artificial intelligence, personality traits, gender, and cultural contexts shape youth digital engagement and mental health outcomes.Grounded in cyberpsychology and extensive empirical research, AI ethics, and developmental psychology, this book addresses the urgent need for evidence-based approaches to supporting young people's well-being in an increasingly AI-mediated digital world. It explores the dual nature of digital technology, offering unique opportunities for connection, learning, and self-expression while simultaneously introducing distinctive risks to mental health and well-being. It examines how personality trait models mediate the effects of cyber behavior on well-being and ethical AI engagement. Further topics include an exploration of AI as an active participant in shaping youth behavior and identity, how personality traits significantly predict resilience to online risks and ethical AI engagement, gender differences in digital engagement creating distinct opportunities and vulnerabilities, cultural contexts fundamentally shaping cyber behaviors and ethical perspectives, and that ethical AI design must prioritize youth developmental vulnerabilities. With actionable recommendations to foster digital well-being and responsible AI use, this book is a comprehensive guide for promoting ethical and psychologically healthy digital practices.The unique blend of theoretical insights, empirical data, and practical interventions makes this book an essential resource for students and academics in cyberpsychology, social psychology and identity, AI ethics, cyber behavior studies, and mental health. It will also be of interest to mental health professionals, researchers, policymakers, and educators interested in understanding the impact of cyber behaviors on youth well-being.
