It was a good experience for me to undertake the peer-reviewing for the article written by Lee and Lee (2020), and I am delighted to provide commentary on this excellent critical literature review project. Reading this paper made me reflect differently on my own experience and thoughts as a PhD student in the field of technology-enhanced learning. This study is trying to examine the common assumption of an educational role of technology having been taken for granted by dominant theories in the TEL field, and I think this topic is important and essential for researchers, especially for PhD students like me who have just started their study. Therefore, I would like to share how this paper makes me reflect on my own experience as a very early-career researcher.
