In scientific literacy, knowledge integration (KI) is a scaffolding-based theory to assist students' scientific inquiry learning. To drive students to be self-directed, many courses have been developed based on KI framework. However, few efforts have been made to evaluate the outcome of students' learning under KI instruction. Moreover,…

Peer assessment has traditionally represented a key tool to enhance active learning and critical thinking. However, the success of this approach is governed by different factors, which have been accentuated in recent years. The implementation of peer assessment is consequently a challenging task in the current context. This work investigates peer…

Purpose: Social media sites provide autistic youth a familiar space to interact that is devoid of many of the challenges that accompany face-to-face interactions. As such, it is important to determine whether the linguistic profiles observed during online interactions are consistent with face-to-face interactions. This preliminary study took a…

Emotions in online collaboration have been largely neglected or considered as a static phenomenon. Therefore, the present study aims to explore dynamics of emotional reactions in online collaboration of Communities of Learners (CoL) based on the Emotions as Social Information (EASI) Theory. In addition, relationships between emotional reactions…

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…

This research aims to develop an innovation-based virtual flipped learning system in a ubiquitous learning environment to enhance twenty-first-century learning skills in information, media, and technology of learners in higher education. The study employed a design-based research method to study the needs and user experiences of students and…

To successfully learn using freely available (and non-curated) Internet resources, university students need to search for, critically evaluate and select online information, and verify sources (defined as Critical Online Reasoning, COR). Recent research indicates substantial deficits in COR skills among higher education students. To support…

In order to understand how faculty members, feel about using Moodle as a learning management system (LMS) tool for teaching and learning in Jordanian universities, a mixed-methods study was conducted. Surveys and interviews were used to gather the data. 270 professors from three Jordanian universities took part in the study. The results show that…

The hybrid event was open to members of the working group (who…

This quasi-experimental study aims to investigate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AIVA app) within an interactive music-learning environment. The ANCOVA was used to compare the performance of students using Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist (AIVA) and those studying with traditional lecture-based instructions. Students in the…

Background: It is well evident that individuals' levels of print exposure are significantly correlated with their reading ability across languages, and an author recognition test is commonly used to measure print exposure objectively. For the first time, the current work developed and validated a Simplified Chinese Author Recognition Test (SCART)…

Perusall is a relatively new online tool that engages students with content and each other. Within this social learning platform, students annotate content, ask questions, and respond to their peers. This commentary explains some key features of the platform as well as explores the benefits of using Perusall with college students. The authors also…

Incidental learning is a type of informal learning occurring consciously with unintentional acts. Within the scope of this study, informal learning on a digital learning platform was examined in the context of cognitive load. The current study investigated the changes in incidental learning within two different scenarios: extraneous irrelevant…

Nearly two billion children across the globe are growing up in an increasingly digital world. Yet even as the ways that kids engage with new technologies constantly evolve, our efforts to attend to their healthy development hasn't kept pace. It's time to prioritize the well-being of children in digital spaces, which we believe requires a…

Teachers' noticing of students' mathematical thinking plays an important role in supporting student learning. Yet little is known about how online professional development (PD)--a growing setting for PD in the USA--can cultivate this noticing. Here, we explore the potential of using two online tools for engaging video to support K-2 teachers'…
