Molecular case studies (MCSs) are open educational resources that use a storytelling approach to engage students in biomolecular structure-function explorations, at the interface of biology and chemistry. Although MCSs are developed for a particular target audience with specific learning goals, they are suitable for implementation in multiple…

The inclusion of the InChI or SMILES codes as a one-sentence answer allows web-based classroom response systems to provide instant feedback to some of the most typical drawing-based questions asked in organic chemistry courses. This paper discusses the implementation and scope of this strategy using smartphones as the only hardware requirement.

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has induced health emergencies followed by changes in social life and education. The transition to online teaching might be harder or easier depending on the situation in a particular country, as well as on the curriculum of teaching subjects and teaching methods that are used. In this paper the methods used in…

Mobile devices are ubiquitous, but their potential for adaptive educational interventions remains largely untapped. We identify three key promises of mobile interventions for educational research and practice: 1) intervening when it is most beneficial (i.e., "just-in-time adaptivity"), 2) estimating causal effects of interventions in…

Word stress is frequently afforded secondary importance in English teaching as stress placement rules are complex and because stress can be learnt along with each new word. However, training learners to pay more attention to word stress cues can support them in predicting the stress patterns of new vocabulary. Also, for speakers of fixed stress…

The proliferation of digital devices in educational settings has contributed to the decentralization of knowledge from teachers and established textbooks to fluid online personalized resources, and from blackboards as spaces of materialization of this knowledge to personal screens. In this new constellation, school practices such as reading,…

This work analyzes the influence and efficiency of BYOD for learning students and academic perfection. The relevance of mobile technologies for learning has been substantiated. The influence of BYOD on academic performance of undergraduate students in terms of their test scores and final course marks, as well as on quality of work on selected…

This review explores the integration and effects of the Internet of Things (IoT) in education, highlighting its importance in transforming traditional teaching and learning techniques. It examines the early uses and historical growth of IoT, its development, and the turning points in its adoption. It explores IoT platforms, tools, and technologies…

"Mobile learning", or "m-learning", has become an umbrella term for the integration of mobile computing devices within teaching and learning. In the literature, however, use of the terms has been unsystematic. The purpose of this article is to critically examine the principles of mobile learning. First, I examine the extant…

Technology is a critical resource in adult education, yet opportunities for ongoing training and support for practitioners are few. This article explores an inquiry-based, collaborative professional development initiative focused on technology adoption, sharing the firsthand accounts of three adult education teachers who participated. Perceived…

The article seeks to explore and evaluate the current research regarding the use of technology in community school classrooms. The article will discuss current trends in digital learning as well as recommendations for the future integration of a technology curriculum in community schools. Additionally, the article will explore potential…

The wide adoption of mobile technology has greatly influenced K-12 education. In teacher education programs, it is necessary for educators to train teacher education students to use mobile technology for educational purpose. This paper reports an exploratory effort in preparing elementary education students for mobile learning. The participants'…

In 2013 David Hockney exhibited 147 pieces of his iPad artwork at the De young Museum in San Francisco, drawing attention to the creative possibilities the iPad could open for serious artwork (O'Brien, 2013). The iPad became a core part of Hockney's creative process, according to the audio tour of this exhibit. While that may surprise those…

Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is one of the fastest growing ELT sectors. To date, the teaching methods of MALL appear overly influenced by the desires of businesses, large institutions and technicians to produce easily measurable outcomes, rather than foundations built on upon pedagogical research that emphasises the importance of…

Despite the increasing use of portable tablets in learning, their impact has received little attention in research. In five different projects, this media-ethnographic and design-based analysis of the use of portable tablets as a learning resource in science museums investigates how young people's learning with portable tablets matches the…
