Web-based student response systems (SRSs) is one of the web 2.0 tools that have recently started to be used frequently by researchers and educators, with the widespread use of smartphones among students. This study aims to present a systematic review of the literature on SRS used in educational settings. With this study, teachers and researchers…

Semantic Web technology is not new as most of us contemplate; it has evolved over the years. Linked Data web terminology is the name set recently to the Semantic Web. Semantic Web is a continuation of Web 2.0 and it is to replace existing technologies. It is built on Natural Language processing and provides solutions to most of the prevailing…

The aim of this research is to reveal the features of a Web 2.0 tool for measurement and evaluation that will be developed for primary education teachers, in line with the opinions of experts from the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT) and Primary Education (PE). Case study is one of the qualitative research…

The purpose of this research was to characterize the curation activity of preservice teachers practicing digital curation by constructing "knowledge exhibitions" in an academic course. Our database included 64 knowledge exhibitions on the Scoop.it platform. Factor analysis of curator's activities resulted in 3 factors, contributing…

One goal of open science is making research processes like analysis more open and traceable. To contribute to this aim, we designed an open digital research environment based on Semantic MediaWiki technology to be used for the qualitative collaborative analysis method of objective hermeneutics. The environment was used in university seminars in…

Business finance, traditionally taught in a lecturer-centered approach, underestimates the postgraduate students' rich tacit knowledge and results in suboptimal knowledge management processes. One way to enhance these processes is to engage students via "Padlet," an interactive virtual wall. Thirty-two postgraduate business finance…

In the present study, the researcher has reviewed the existing literature from the previous research on Infrastructure and Application of ICT in Higher Education. The researcher carried out an intensive search on various publications and databases websites and finalized fifteen papers for carrying out the literature review. The literature review…

Research-based learning (RBL) is an approach that aims to engage students in research activities within their study discipline. Since this method puts the focus on the learner, Web 2.0 tools are considered to provide good support in enhancing collaboration processes, which are necessary in conducting research in real-life situations. The link…

Vocabulary is a fundamental component of any language. Learning vocabulary plays a crucial role in learning English language. Whereas wiki is a promising Web 2.0 technology that can be used innovatively in EFL instruction. This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of wiki-based instruction on vocabulary learning of first secondary graders.…

The evolution of digital technologies over the past couple of decades has contributed to a paradigm shift in education where the internet and web-based applications have become ubiquitous in primary and secondary classrooms (Glassman & Kang, 2011). With this shift came the digital phenomena known today as Web 2.0 technologies. Web 2.0…

Research in education confirmed that students engage in learning when they feel connected with others and when they play an active role in their learning process. Therefore, social presence (SP) considered as an important component of effective learning in both face-face and online learning environment. Therefore, this study intended to…

Incorporating various forms of social media in the classroom enhances learning and motivates students to contribute to class lessons and activities. This article discusses some successful approaches for implementing wikis, Facebook, Pinterest and Goodreads in the classroom. Social media in the classroom has proved beneficial to developmental and…

This study aims to examine pedagogical formation students' perceptions about Web 2.0 tools and educational practices. A case study approach forms the methodological framework of this study. This study was conducted with 42 pedagogical formation students of an Instructional Technology and Material Design course during the 2014-2015 spring semester.…

Wikis are "convergent media" which allow authors to work and make meaning across, as well as within, the two modes of interaction. In order to obtain a true picture of the nature of student-student (non-) collaboration in wiki mediated writing activities, this paper therefore argues that it is necessary to examine students' discussion…

As learners solve complex problems, such as the ones present in case narratives, they need instructional support. Potentially, Web 2.0 applications can be useful to learners during case-based instruction (CBI), as their affordances offer creative and collaborative opportunities. However, there is limited research available on how the affordances…
