Emerging high technologies in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are providing new trends, approaches, and enriching learning experiences. The importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing in various aspects of life, especially in the technological era. This study aimed to identify the experiences perceived by different AI tools in a classroom setting based on the usefulness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education to TVL-ICT senior high school learners. The researcher employed a qualitative research method, utilizing a narrative inquiry approach through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. A total of ten (10) learner respondents were purposively selected. Data revealed that the usefulness of AI education is a significant factor in analyzing data, identifying patterns, and improving the academic performance of TVL-ICT learners. Utilizing AI tools in school promotes teaching innovation and ready access to materials. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to the usefulness of AI education to learners, incorporating proper training and discipline. An increase in assessment efficiency, time-saving searching for relevant and updated information, and open access to everyone. In contrast, learners experience a high risk of accessing private personal information, potential bias in gathering information, and a lack of trust in using AI tools. Lastly, AI education revealed a five-cycle learning process in education for ICT learners. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education led to a significant improvement in school resources and technological advancement. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in education have been developed to motivate, innovate, and adapt technological development. The usefulness of AI tools cannot replace humans in instructional strategies, but resistance to change may be replaced by technology in the future.

This study examined the factors related to system and users that affect satisfaction with the web portal of the University of Ibadan undergraduates. Out of 14,384 undergraduate students, the study used the proportionate to size sampling technique to choose 388 as the sample size. Participants were chosen by convenience selection from each faculty. A validated instrument was used to collect the data, and a significance level of 0.05 was applied to the analysis. The results revealed that computer anxiety, computer literacy skills, faculties, information literacy skills, service quality, sex, student level, and system quality were significant predictors of students’ satisfaction. Conversely, information quality and age were not significant predictors. Given the results, it is advised that the University of Ibadan’s web development unit should prioritize improvements to the undergraduate web portal, focusing on ease of use, fast loading speed, easy navigation, and flexibility. Computer literacy skills should be integrated into the student curriculum to improve computer usage skills and reduce anxiety.

Trigonometry is a mathematical field whose basic concepts are sine and cosine and have many different representations, some of which are covered at length in the Kosovo curriculum in high schools. Unfortunately, many of its aspects are taught procedurally, forcing students to learn without meaning and memorize formulas. The use of ICT enables the implementation of this unconventional proposal, through a series of activities. So, modern ICT provides an excellent tool to explore many of the concepts related to trigonometry, namely the graphical representation of trigonometric functions. Therefore, this study explores some of the potential of such ICTs to influence the performance of homework on graphing trigonometric functions. Qualitative research was chosen as the methodology for this study. Whereas, for this study, the selected sample is represented by about 30 students attending the eleventh grade at the music high school “Lorenc Antoni” in Prizren/Kosovo. Data collection for this study was conducted through online portfolios and an interview. The results of this study show the positive effect that ICT had on the students’ motivation for doing homework during the graphical presentation of trigonometric functions.
