Eriksen, Kristina; Nielsen, Bjarne E.; Pittelkow, Michael – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
We present a simple procedure to make an augmented reality app to visualize any chemical 3D model. The molecular structure may be based on crystallographic data or from computational modeling. This guide is made in such a way that no programming skills are needed, and the procedure uses free software and provides a way to visualize 3D structures…

Gökçe, Semirhan; Yenmez, Arzu Aydogan; Özpinar, Ilknur – International Education Studies, 2017
Recent developments in technology have changed the learner's profile and the learning outcomes. Today, with the emergence of higher-order thinking skills and computer literacy skills, teaching through traditional methods is likely to fail to achieve the learning outcomes. That is why; teachers and teacher candidates are expected to have computer…

Broad, Steven; McGee, Meredith – Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, 2014
While many technical disciplines have reached or are moving toward gender parity in the number of bachelors degrees in those fields, the percentage of women graduating in computer science remains stubbornly low. Many recent efforts to address this situation have focused on retention of undergraduate majors or graduate students, recruiting…

Pasko, Alexander; Adzhiev, Valery; Malikova, Evgeniya; Pilyugin, Victor – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2013
Modern education technologies are destined to reflect the realities of a modern digital age. The juxtaposition of real and synthetic (computer-generated) worlds as well as a greater emphasis on visual dimension are especially important characteristics that have to be taken into account in learning and teaching. We describe the ways in which an…
