Dear Editor
Nowadays, modern technologies and advancements in the digital world are making dramatic changes in various processes of human life faster than ever before. Amid this, education also strives to keep up with the technological world in response to the needs of the new generation of students. In the past few years, with the increasing expansion of educational technologies, the new concept of "teacher as a hacker" has emerged as a metaphor to demonstrate a new model of teaching and learning reforms in education. At first glance, the meaning that this concept brings to mind appears to be negative and associated with the world of computers. Nonetheless, in recent years, hacking has also become a part of educational terminology. This essay aims to explore the hidden aspects of the concept of "teacher as a hacker" to provide a new lens for empowering university professors and improving educational processes.
