Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to explore learner-centered emerging technologies, methods of learning with artificial intelligence (AI), student engagement and concerns related to the assessment process at public and private universities in Bangladesh.

Design/methodology/approach

The study employed a qualitative research approach to investigate innovations in learning, student engagement and assessment concerns. Respondents were categorized into three clusters: Cluster-A comprised students from various academic levels, Cluster-B included faculty members with online teaching experience and Cluster-C consisted of information and communication technology (ICT) experts from university information technology (IT) departments. Qualitative data were collected via in-depth interviews.

Findings

The research findings indicate the widespread acceptance and utilization of learner-centered technologies, with online and hybrid learning offering flexibility, accessibility, self-paced learning and better student engagement opportunities. While AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini are valued for clarifying theoretical concepts, concerns exist regarding their ethical use, particularly in completing assignments. The assessment process faces challenges related to online exams, with concerns over cheating prompting calls for AI-supported solutions. However, there is a gap between commitment and action in regulating unethical AI usage, highlighting the need for clearer guidance and investment in technological solutions for an effective assessment process.

Research limitations/implications

Limitations of this study include the inability to quantify the satisfaction level with the emergence of learner-centered technologies, which could be better explained through a quantitative study.

Originality/value

This study’s originality and value stem from its thorough investigation of innovations in learner-centered education considering the emergence of AI and student engagement, uniquely focusing on the perspective of a developing country.
