Learning resources are quite important for online learning while resource provision based on algorithms could not address learners' ubiquitous needs well. Moreover, the structure and content of resources are pre-defined which makes the "Structure" and "Content" coupled closely and could not easily adjust when learners' needs…

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an authentic contextual learning framework with six constructs to model the relationships among essential factors of authentic contextual learning. In particular, this framework explores the relationships across six constructs, i.e. learning by applying, healthy learning, collaborative learning,…

E-Schoolbag is an integrated platform presented on the portable digital devices for educational purposes. Successful and sustainable integration of e-Schoolbag into the classroom often demands teachers to be equipped with essential knowledge, skills, and willingness to employ it on a voluntary basis. The purpose of this study was to examine if…

The present study aims to determine the relation between Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) levels of teachers and their self-efficacy in integrating technology, their technology literacy and their usage objective of social networks. Structural equation modeling was utilized to create a model explaining and predicting the…

The overall appeal of ICT in education in China is promoting deep integration of ICT technology with teaching. From a regional point of view, intelligent terminals, such as laptop and tablet, were integrated into classroom, in Beijing, Shanghai and other developed cities. Interactive media equipment (whiteboards, interactive TVs and iPad, etc.)…

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has improved education widely in China, transforming traditional teaching into an interactive one. It is important to build a new evaluation model to measure teaching efficiency in an "ICT-enabled classroom". This study designed an evaluation model named "TPOCME Deep classroom"…

This study extends the understanding of the process of teachers' technology adoption by investigating the dynamic nature of the adoption process. We propose a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model that reveals the dynamics of teachers' adoption over time and examines the impact of internal and external factors, including experiences, interventions,…

Educational games can be viewed in two ways, "learning to play" or "playing to learn." The Chinese Idiom String Up Game was specifically designed to examine the effect of "learning to play" on the interrelatedness of players' gameplay interest, competitive anxiety, and perceived utility of pre-game learning (PUPGL).…
