Dr. Leonard Chrysostomos Epafras, a lecturer in the Inter-Religious Studies (IRS) Program, has recently published a new scholarly article examining the relationship between digital technology and theological and religious education. The article, titled “Gadgets Need Healing: A Proposal for Digital Pedagogy,” has been published in the Scopus Indexed journal Religious Education on the Taylor & Francis platform. In this article, Dr. Epafras proposes a new approach to the use of digital technology in educational processes, particularly within the context of theology and religious studies. He points out that digital devices such as gadgets and artificial intelligence are often perceived merely as neutral tools. However, according to Dr. Epafras, technology actually shapes the ways people think, interact, and understand knowledge.
