The 'internationalisation', or 'Englishisation', of higher education in East Asia
This study examines the implementation and perceptions of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) in universities in China and Japan. It finds varying approaches to EMI implementation and highlights contextual constraints, including language-related challenges and the need for more context-sensitive policy development. Stakeholders largely viewed EMI positively for potential benefits like improved English proficiency and employability but also acknowledged challenges such as limited English proficiency among both students and faculty and cultural differences in teaching and learning styles.

Mapping research in student engagement and educational technology in higher education: a systematic evidence map
This study mapped 243 studies on student engagement and educational technology in higher education, finding most research originated from the US and UK, focused on undergraduate students, and employed quantitative methods. Behavioural engagement was the most frequently studied dimension, often fostered through text-based tools and learning management systems in blended learning environments. The review highlights the need for more qualitative research, broader geographic representation, and clearer definitions of student engagement in future studies.

Is Metaverse in education a blessing or a curse: a combined content and bibliometric analysis
This study reviews existing research on Metaverse in education, finding a focus on virtual and collaborative learning, primarily using Second Life, with applications mainly in higher education and STEM fields. The review highlights a research gap in lifelogging applications and limited research on younger generations (Gen Alpha), user-centric design, and accessibility for students with disabilities, indicating the need for more research to fully understand the Metaverse's potential and mitigate potential risks in education.
