This design case details a seven-year iterative design process to create an app for use in online physical education classes. Each iteration addresses the shortcomings of the previous version. The most recent iteration of the app allows students to use Fitbit™ devices to record heart rate data, which each student sees as progress toward course…

While GeoGebra applets have been extensively investigated in learning environments, few studies have addressed the interactive GeoGebra applets in an e-book-based learning environment. This study aims to compare the effects of the e-book created with interactive GeoGebra applets on students' learning achievement and motivation. The sample of the…

Background: Both learning and problem solving are major goals of complex problem solving in engineering education. The order of knowledge construction and problem solving in learning through problem solving, however, has not been explained in current literature. Objectives: To understand their relationships, this study compared the effects of…

The surge in technology adoption has transformed students into 'digital natives' who require innovative teaching methods to enhance their engagement and learning. This paper investigates the impact of integrating QuickBooks®, an accounting mobile app, on students' learning, engagement, and interest in the course. It utilizes a survey questionnaire…

Mobile learning (M-learning) has become a crucial tool for both students and educators. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), the technology acceptance model (TAM), and outside factors were all included in this study's integrative review approach to examine the variables affecting university students' intention to use…

Technological developments have significantly impacted various aspects of life, most notably healthcare and education. A nursing education shift was required to prepare digital generation. Consequently, nurse educators must adopt innovative approaches to teaching and learning, like incorporating immersive virtual reality (VR) into human anatomy…

Purpose: Professional Identity Formation is the dynamic evolution to "think, act and feel" to become part of a professional community. This document presents the development and the study that aimed to assess the usability of a m-Learning Identity App (MLIA) focused on the formation of professional identity among undergraduate medical…

Although learning with mobile educational applications (apps) has become popular in higher education, the factors accounting for students' voluntary continuous usage have not yet been investigated fully. This study aims to understand art students' continuance intention by combining the "expectation-confirmation model" ("ECM")…

The algebraic group Spin[subscript 3 × 3] arises from spinning collections of the numbers 1-9 on a 3×3 game board. The authors have been using this group, as well as a corresponding online application, to introduce undergraduate students to core concepts in group theory. We discuss the benefits of using this deceptively simple, toy-like puzzle in…

Debate is a universally acknowledged competency for its vital role in fostering essential skills such as analytical reasoning, eloquent communication, and persuasive argument construction. This is relevant in both formal educational settings like classrooms and informal venues such as after-school clubs. Traditional debate training methods often…

Being able to pronounce a language so that a listener can understand (i.e., intelligibly) is critical to achieving communicative competence (Munro & Derwing, 1995), but is Duolingo helpful in this regard? Given Duolingo's status as the world's most widely used language-learning app (Hirschi, 2020), understanding its potential is important to…

Procrastination is a prevalent issue among university students and leads to long-term negative impacts on academic performance as well as mental health and quality of life. This paper investigated StudyTracker, a self-tracking digital application (app) that we developed for university students to use to track their study sessions. The app provided…

The significance of assessment in driving learning is undeniable, particularly in oral assessments like viva voce where students express themselves verbally. However, traditional viva voce examinations' challenges include reliability, objectivity, content validity, time constraints, varying question difficulty levels, inconsistency in questioning…

The high cost of establishing a cell and tissue culture facility has denied students an opportunity to practice proper aseptic techniques during their studies. An in-house application named AsepticTech Virtual Reality (VR) was developed to simulate a cell and tissue culture facility for students to train their aseptic techniques virtually.…

Service-Learning (SL) is a powerful methodology to acquire competences and values in Higher Education. However, there is still no widespread use in Information and Computer Science (ICS) degrees where most of the subjects are focused on the development of theoretical and practical contents purely related to technical competences. In this paper, we…
