Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • An overview of case studies of innovative hybrid flexible pedagogical approaches   Order a copy of this article
    by Michael Detyna, Muhammad Sami Siddiqui, James E. Clark 
    Abstract: Hybrid or hybrid flexible learning is a technique that can provide connection between a hybrid group of online and on-campus students. This relatively innovative approach has also led to new teaching styles and pedagogical approaches. Case studies provide examples of how those approaches can be used in practice. This paper seeks to provide an overview of case studies on approaches which range from ways to increase learner engagement to novel methods to engage in practical work. Thoughts for practitioners and reflections are included along with some comments on limitations. The novelty of this research is demonstrated by the fact that this is one of the first case-based descriptions of teaching and learning approaches using this technology in a learning environment.
    Keywords: HyFlex; hybrid learning; case studies; innovation; pedagogies.

  • Learning and teaching in the Metaverse: A paradigm shift in education in the developed world   Order a copy of this article
    by Viktoria M. Mauz, Christian Diaz 
    Abstract: The rapidly evolving digital landscape, especially the emergence of the Metaverse, holds the promise of transforming education by merging physical and virtual worlds. This paper conducts an integrative literature review, combining theoretical and empirical sources to explore 'learning and teaching in the Metaverse', 'peer learning in the Metaverse', and 'social aspects of teaching and learning in the Metaverse'. Searching multiple academic databases yielded over 35 relevant studies, subjected to thematic analysis and triangulation with empirical data from in-depth interviews with researchers. The study highlights the potential benefits of the Metaverse in education, particularly in peer learning. It emphasizes gamified learning experiences, enhanced diversity and inclusion, personalized skill-based learning, virtual campus settings, and immersive learning encounters. However, challenges such as cybersecurity, potential distraction, cyberbullying, and usability issues accompany these advantages. Despite its promise, research gaps persist. Long-term effects of Metaverse-based education and the sociological impacts within these environments remain largely unexplored.
    Keywords: Metaverse; education; learning; teaching; technology; gamification; virtual reality; cybersecurity; cyberbullying.
