Veldkamp, Alice; Daemen, Joke; Teekens, Stijn; Koelewijn, Stefan; Knippels, Marie-Christine P. J.; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
In this paper, we present an escape box as a means to introduce the escape room concept into classrooms. Recreational escape rooms have inspired teachers all over the world to adapt the popular entertainment activity for education. Escape rooms are problem-based and time-constrained, requiring active and collaborative participants, a setting that…

Dickes, Amanda C.; Kamarainen, Amy; Metcalf, Shari J.; Gün-Yildiz, Semiha; Brennan, Karen; Grotzer, Tina; Dede, Chris – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Research in the field of technology-enhanced learning has argued for a broader scope of technology-supported learning environments to include the design of activity systems which position students as active thinkers by reorganizing learning with technology around the practices of scholarly communities. In the context of elementary ecosystems…

Bassendowski, Sandra Leigh; Petrucka, Pammla – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2013
The image of students passively absorbing information from an educator who is lecturing from behind a podium does not reflect the current scope and dimension of higher education. There are now tools of technology that can be used to create learning experiences to actively and meaningfully "pull" students into course content. The author…

Science Created by You (SCY) is a project on learning in science and technology domains. SCY uses a pedagogical approach that centres around products, called "emerging learning objects" (ELOs) that are created by students. Students work individually and collaboratively in SCY-Lab (the general SCY learning environment) on "missions" that are guided…

Chen, Ching-Huei – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Supporting in-service teachers for successful integration of educational technologies into their teaching practices has been a challenge. While professional development in technology integration is found to help teachers gain technology skills and model good examples of using technology for teaching, they may fail to provide teachers with a clear…

Cherrett, Tom; Wills, Gary; Price, Joe; Maynard, Sarah; Dror, Itiel E. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
The cost of health and safety (H&S) failures to the UK industry is currently estimated at up to 6.5 billion British Pounds per annum, with the construction sector suffering unacceptably high levels of work-related incidents. Better H&S education across all skill levels in the industry is seen as an integral part of any solution.…
