Abstract

The Korean Society for Educational Technology (KSET) hosted its second panel discussion partnering with the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) at the 2019 AECT Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. A total of four panelists, two from Korea and two from the U.S., participated in the discussion on the trends of educational technology in Korea and in the U.S. for one hour. The topics covered were smart schools in a smart city of Korea, characteristics of mobile learning environments, learning analytics for instructional design, and artificial intelligence for learning sciences research.
