  • Digital Competency's Role in Promoting Equity in the Digital Healthcare Ecosystem: An Overview
    Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Lawal Abdulwahab Olamilekan
    Reshaping Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Through Digital Innovation, 2026
    The rapid digitalisation of healthcare systems has introduced innovative solutions for improved access, efficiency, and patient outcomes. However, without equitable digital competency, these advancements risk exacerbating existing health disparities. This chapter explores the critical role of digital competency in promoting equity within the digital healthcare ecosystem. It examines how varying levels of digital skills among patients, providers, and institutions influence access to and utilisation of digital health services. Through conceptual analysis, global case studies, and policy reflections, the chapter highlights structural barriers, digital divides, and strategies to foster inclusive digital health practices. Emphasising the intersectionality of digital exclusion, the chapter advocates for targeted interventions and capacity-building initiatives that prioritise marginalised populations. Ultimately, it positions digital competency as a foundational pillar for ensuring equity and inclusion in the evolving landscape of digital healthcare.

  • Blockchain and Tokenomics for Education: Unlocking Micro-Credentials, Equity, and Lifelong Learning — An Overview
    Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Lawal Abdulwahab Olamilekan
    Impact of Blockchain in Token Economies, 2026
    The chapter explores the transformative potential of blockchain and tokenomics in reshaping education through secure micro-credentialing, equitable access, and lifelong learning. Drawing on recent peer-reviewed literature, it examines how blockchain enables tamper-proof academic records, portable micro-credentials, and learner-owned digital wallets, while tokenomics introduces incentive-driven ecosystems such as “learn-to-earn” and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. The chapter also investigates the role of decentralized autonomous organisations in collaborative curriculum governance and community-led accreditation. Emphasising global case studies and policy implications, it critically assesses challenges including data privacy, regulatory uncertainty, and digital divides. The analysis highlights how blockchain-based systems can democratise education by recognising informal and modular learning across borders. It concludes by advocating for inclusive, ethical, and scalable implementation strategies to ensure blockchain and tokenomics advance equity and continuous learning in education.
  • AI- Generated Content Role in English Language Reading Skills
    Wali Khan Monib, Mussa Saidi Abubakari
    Harnessing AI Generated Content in Language Education, 2026
    The chapter has explored the role of AI-generated Content (AIGC) in improving reading skills among EFL students. The chapter also explores the challenges and ethical considerations in applying AIGC. Based on a comprehensive literature analysis, by applying the transformative role of AIGC in reading English effectively, reading content can be enriched to fulfil individual needs. Reading support provided by AI-based tools includes content comprehension and summarisation, paraphrasing and vocabulary acquisition, development of interactive reading exercises, personalised feedback and instructional scaffolding. However, critical challenges that need to be taken into consideration by the stakeholders in EFL education are data privacy and ethics, accessibility and digital literacy, academic integrity and overreliance, and accuracy and bias of AIGC. A call is thus made for collaboration for developing strategies among teachers, policymakers, and researchers to address the issues.

  • Comparative assessment of digital competences among students in higher education using DigComp 2.1 framework
    Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Gamal Abdul Nasir Zakaria, Juraidah Musa
    Cogent Education, 2026
    Advancements in digital technologies pose dynamic challenges to both religious and non-religious education systems. The study undertakes a gap analysis in the literature by comparing the digital competence (DC) of learners in Islamic religious higher education institutions (HEIs) with those in general HEIs using the DigComp Framework. By employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 439 students selected through convenience sampling across four HEIs in Brunei. Confirmatory factor analysis results verified the consistency and validity of the DigComp Framework within this context. T-test analyses revealed that students from non-religious HEIs scored significantly higher in three DigComp aspects: Information and Data Literacy, Safety, and Communication and Collaboration, although overall DC levels were moderate across both groups. The findings indicate the imperative need to enhance the integration of digital competences across higher education curricula to enable students to perform optimally in a highly competitive, digital-driven global market. This study advances new knowledge that can guide curriculum development and policy initiatives in digital education in non-Western contexts.
  • Between Independence and Supervision: A Reflective Account of a PhD Student in the Era of AI
    Desfa Yusmaliana, Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Wali Khan Monib, Wasswa Shafik
    International Student Narratives in Globalized Higher Education, 2026
    This study explores the self-formation of doctoral students within contexts of limited supervision, institutional power dynamics, and the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI). Using collaborative ethnography and reflexive thematic analysis, six doctoral students participated. The findings reveal that insufficient supervision, often seen as an institutional gap, can foster reflective autonomy, prompting students to negotiate agency, cultivate intellectual independence, and develop resilience through peer collaboration and AI-assisted practices. The study introduces the concept of AI-mediated reflexive autonomy, describing how academic independence evolves through the interplay of structural constraints, peer solidarity, and digital support. Ultimately, doctoral self-formation is reframed not as an individual endeavor, but as a collective and reflective process that integrates critical thinking, technology, and human connection to navigate the complexities of contemporary academia.
  • Generative Artificial Intelligence in Academic Research: Transformations, Challenges, and Futures
    Mohammad Azim Arbabi, Wali Khan Monib, Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Wasswa Shafik
    AI Powered Transformations for Ethical Education, 2026
    This chapter discusses artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic research, focusing on their potentials and challenges, global major frameworks, such as European Union Ethics Guidelines for trustworthy AI, Beijing Consensus, UNESCO guidance for generative AI in education and research, the US recommendations for AI in education, and Australian framework for generative AI, Singapore AI in education ethics framework. It examines ethical and practical considerations of generative AI tools in academic research, current trends in global AI ethics policies, benefits and challenges of generative AI tools in research. Finally, it presents case studies, implications, future directions, reflecting on different aspects of these tools and contributes to ongoing scientific discussion on the integration of generative AI tools into academic research in higher education.
  • Pedagogical Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Religious Education: A Comprehensive Review
    Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Gamal Abdul Nasir Zakaria, Desfa Yusmaliana, Ahmad Zaldi, Juraidah Musa, Mulyani Mudis Taruna
    Ethical Legal and Pedagogical Perspectives on AI in Education, 2026
    This chapter examines the pedagogical considerations and implications of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with Islamic Religious Education (IRE). As generative AI reshapes modern education, its role in Islamic-based learning settings warrants significant consideration. The contextualisation of AI in education, with a justification for focusing on IRE, is discussed first. Foundational concepts are defined, which include AI in education (AIEd), and major pedagogical principles common to all Islamic traditions are also discussed, along with their practical applications. Opportunities and challenges are presented. The chapter introduced Islamic pedagogical views and addressed teacher AI readiness, concluding with suggested pedagogical strategies that align with the use of AI and Islamic values. The chapter concludes by calling for collaborative-based initiatives and outlines the next steps in research for curriculum development, professional development, and AI ethics in IRE.
  • Validating the DigComp framework among university students across different educational systems
    Mussa Saidi Abubakari, Gamal Abdul Nasir Zakaria, Juraidah Musa
    Discover Education, 2025
    In the contemporary world of digitalisation, comprehensive digital competence (DC) is and should be an integral part of students’ repertoire to guarantee not only academic but also professional success. However, the level and requirements for DC may vary within specific educational contexts, especially in culturally oriented institutions. This study examined the reliability, validity, and applicability of the DigComp framework in assessing DC among university students from Islamic and general education institutions in Brunei. Using quantitative data (N = 439) collected through an online survey, we employed confirmatory factor analysis, validity, and reliability measures, with findings showing excellent model fit and strong psychometric properties across both samples. The study’s results also reveal variations in DC levels, with students reporting lower self-assessment scores in Digital Problem Solving and Content Creation, suggesting these competencies present more challenges. On the other hand, Digital Safety and Communication and Collaboration had higher scores and showed less challenge in the acquisition of the competencies. These findings underscore the need for balanced development across all DC competencies, aligning with DigComp’s holistic vision. The study contributes theoretically by validating DigComp in diverse educational contexts and practically by providing a tool to inform curriculum and policy, supporting inclusive, adaptable digital literacy strategies across varied educational systems.
