in selected Australian universities particularly the program, instructions and research. The study adopted
the exploratory sequential mixed methods. It involves international postgraduate students studying for their
master’s through coursework, research and PhD. The following were findings of the study: This study
evaluated the satisfaction levels of 173 international postgraduate students, predominantly enrolled in
master’s programs across three Australian universities: USyd, UTS, and UNSW. The author has shown
that the findings underscore that Australian universities provide well-structured programs with strong
academic support and career services. However, employment-related assistance for international students
needs to be improved. The author has concluded with recommendations that include expanding work
opportunities, offering more support for students balancing employment, and redefining program
requirements for full-time employees. Overall, the study suggests that Australian universities effectively
meet international postgraduate students' academic and professional needs, though room for improvement
remains in career support.

and research, and technology are interdependent with both positive and negative externalities of society
and market structure. It discusses specifically the significance of education, the information wealth of a
global knowledge society and the dilemma of the economics of knowledge, which, at the same time have
important implications for private investment and intellectual property protections of the new knowledge.
This paper aims to examine the complex interactions between the market's role and State intervention in
order to achieve two goals: satisfying monetary interests and maintaining balance between technological
innovation and productivity gains. Additionally, governmental policy tools play a crucial role in providing
equal access to education, open-source knowledge, and research and development opportunities, which
allows both society and inventors to benefit from new technology.

worldwide is still slow. While many have started transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, a large number of them
have deferred the transition due to the time needed to complete the transition, budget implications, and
security issues. The main problem is how to deploy IPv6 without disrupting the teaching activities of
academic departments. This paper introduces a phased framework for deploying IPv6 at the university
campus networks of higher education institutions. The framework consists of three phases: preparation and
assessment, perimeter network, and internal network. In addition to an independent phase to manage the
security issues, a Venn diagram has been created to compare the proposed framework with a state-of-art
framework. The results show that the proposed framework retains high value as a comprehensive IPv6
deployment framework at higher education institutions.

world where digital transformation is accelerating, the role of technology in music education has become
increasingly crucial. In particular, digital platforms and tools are reshaping the way music is taught,
especially for younger generations. Children in the digital age are exposed to various musical experiences
and preferences. This has led to the development of digital learning environments and software for
preschool children, creating a fundamentally new educational framework. However, music pedagogy often
relies on traditional teaching models that do not incorporate digital technologies. This article discusses
findings from an educational intervention using the Synth4kids software in early childhood music
education. Synth4kids offers new avenues for educators to incorporate technology into early childhood
education, encouraging creativity, collaboration, and engagement. The study highlights how combining
technology and music pedagogy can enrich the learning experience for young children. The results
highlight a new techno-centric learning environment where children engage actively and enthusiastically
in authentic music teaching and learning situations, transforming their experiences and developing new
musical and technological skills. Additionally, the study shows the importance of designing child-friendly
software that balances educational goals with playful engagement.

to all students, resulting in disparities in understanding and unequal learning opportunities. Generative
Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) provides a scalable and cost-effective solution for on-demand tutoring, offering personalized support 24/7. This paper delves into the potential application of GenAI as an on-demand
tutoring system, addressing the critical need for immediate and personalized educational support. Implementing GenAI to establish an on-demand tutoring system that delivers personalized, real-time assistance
is vital in meeting the demands of today’s academic landscape. Critical components of this approach encompass advanced natural language processing techniques to comprehend and respond to student inquiries,
machine learning algorithms to tailor support to individual learning styles, and a scalable cloud-based infrastructure to ensure round-the-clock availability. This approach’s expected scientific surplus value lies
in its capacity to significantly enhance educational outcomes by providing scalable, personalized learning
experiences. This paper elucidates a pathway for future research and development in this area, highlighting
the potential of GenAI to revolutionize education and improve learning outcomes for all students.

in peace times. A desk review of literature and a case analysis of two countries, Sudan and Colombia, were
utilised to collect data for the study. The Feminist Techno-science Framework was applied to the study, to
analyse how technologies can be used to promote inclusive social justice and peace. The framework
assesses how women’s experiences and perspectives can inform and shape technological innovation, to
draw the marginalised to the centre of peace building action. The study concluded that inclusive usage of
IoT advances the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda by providing opportunities for women's
participation in peace building processes, enhancing their social, economic, political, and environmental
engagement, provided that operating legal frameworks for ICT usage are gender inclusive.

in the study of the subject of material resistance, in order to accompany the teaching-learning process.
Bringing computational tools on par with traditional learning in the classroom by applying a series of
innovative alternatives and work practices, outside the classroom and that meet your expectations of
progress in teaching-learning in fields related to the resistance of materials , who are under their
responsibility aligned with the objective of advancing in the career with practical knowledge.
This research topic was chosen due to the students' deficient knowledge in this area due to reasons such as
late academic reintegration, work-related issues, among others. In addition to the little use of teaching
material by the student, thus harming their comprehensive development. In this work, it is intended to
contribute to the analysis of structures using design software and structural analysis. Interactive videos
will be generated with their resolution, simulations of practices as well as innovative interactive content,
which collaborate for the development of the academic and intellectual potential of the students who take
the subject of resistance of materials.

courses has yet to be examined. Character archetypes are an unavoidable topic in most courses requiring
character creation. We found that some online creative courses include characters whose character
archetypes are debatable. For example, the Femme Fatale is often considered a character archetype, but
some scholars believe it is a stereotype bias. While the use of character archetypes and stereotypes in
creative work is a matter of personal freedom, it is inappropriate to educationally disseminate content that
is still controversial in the academic community. This study explores the history and reasons for the
generalization of the Femme Fatale, the differences between the Femme Fatale and other character
archetypes, and derives three reasons why the Femme Fatale is inappropriate as a character archetype in
creative work. This study is intended to call attention to the rigor of the content of online creative writing
courses.

Design/ methodology/approach: A cross-sectional study design was used. A sample of 58 records was extracted from the data-logs of the intelligent tutor, ALEKS. This data was triangulated with the data collected from surveys. Two-step clustering, correlation and regression analysis, Chi-square analysis and paired sample t-tests were applied to address the research questions. Findings: The data-logs of ALEKS include information about number of topics practiced and number of topics mastered by each student. Prior knowledge and derived attribute, which is the ratio of number of topics mastered to number of topics practiced(denoted by the variable m top in this paper) are found to be predictors of final marks in the foundation mathematics course with = 42%. Students were asked to report their preferred way of selecting topics as either sequential or random. Results of paired sample t-test demonstrated that the students who selected topics in a sequential manner were able to retain their mastery of learning after the summative assessment whereas the students who chose topics randomly were not able to retain their mastery of learning. Originality and value: This research has established three indicators of academic success in the course of foundation mathematics which is delivered using the intelligent tutor ALEKS. Instructors can monitor students' progress and detect students at-risk who are not able to attain desired pace of learning and guide them to choose the correct sequence of topics.

Female students' lack of interest is due to the pedagogical approaches favoring male values. By contrast, no previous research on the integration of technology in English as a foreign language has investigated gender differences and the level of confidence of students in using technology in the classroom. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of students' use of technology in the field of English applied foreign languages and check their perceptions about the use of computer technology. For this purpose, students enrolled in a conventional class of second year license degree in Applied Foreign Languages were interviewed and answered a questionnaire. The results of this study show that female students are highly likely to gain more confidence when given activities that match their learning interests.

concepts. However, little is known about teacher readiness on adopting VR in the classroom. Accordingly,
189 higher education teachers were surveyed to explore perceptions on adopting VR. Findings revealed
the adoption of VR vectored on teachers perceived readiness confidence in technology skill and belief that
VR has potential to benefit student learning. Moreover, understanding students cognitive experience in the
immersive VR environment remains underdeveloped and may influence teacher’s perception of readiness
to adopt VR for teaching. However, there is an opportunity to influence educational models by providing a
VR approach to knowledge creation centred around cognitive processes students use to make sense of the
real world. But there remain perceived challenges centered around costs, technical issues, content
availability, and pedagogical integration. This study concludes any successful adoption of VR for teaching
will require careful planning for teacher readiness with primary focus on technology competence and
pedagogical matters. Although more research is needed to understand teachers’ readiness, VR is likely
forthcoming and has potential to be an important resource in the educator’s toolkit.
