Multicultural classes in academia present challenges, intensified further in the context of online learning. Addressing these disparities requires innovative solutions to the challenges stemming from the diverse cultural backgrounds, religious affiliations, age disparities, varying learning skills, and differences in technology access. This study…

Technology to support collaborative learning has come a long way. Interactive tabletops support collaboration when correctly integrated in activity design. While these devices can now, in principle, be purchased by the general public, wide adoption in schools is hindered by their high cost and lack of mobility. In this paper, we analyze the…

The Edu-social Algorithm research project aims to construct a micro-pedagogical, experimental, digital research action to create a methodological model using the functions and algorithms found in social media used by Generation Alpha (specifically Instagram). The project is the manifestation of an explorative research path seeking to alter the…

Despite the positive effects of mobile augmented reality (MAR)-tools for learning, MAR-tools are not commonly used in classrooms. The scientific discourse identified a lack of concepts that guide the practical application of mobile augmented reality (MAR)-tools in education. Teachers often feel insecure when designing and applying digital learning…

Mobile technology is a promising area of research post COVID-19 and helps the realisation of education 4.0 The purpose of this paper is to conceptualise mobile learning in Education 4.0 paradigm in the South African context. This descriptive study used a questionnaire made in a google form and distributed amongst pre-service teachers at a faculty…

This paper summarises findings from an initial study completed as the first phase of the Erasmus+ KA2 research project: Designing and Evaluating Innovative Mobile Pedagogies (DEIMP). The purpose of the scoping study was to inform the design and development of a multi-purpose mobile app that will support educators and pre-service teachers in…

To drive effective change towards sustainable development, several courses of action have been devised, and education was pointed as a way to attain this goal. Recognizing the impact of learning in context, it is essential to develop innovative educational proposals that bring schools into other social contexts. This study aims to present, albeit…

Due the wideness of the term Physical Computing, there is a need for a better structure of this topic. This paper is about an approach of structuring this field by finding attributes of different physical computing devices which can be used in class. Those attributes are meant to enforce teachers as well as researchers to analyze different devices…

In this article we describe how mobile devices enable immersive learning experiences. Expensive Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) are a thing of the past, as even inexpensive alternatives in combination with a smartphone make it possible to immerse oneself in virtual worlds. Learners then take these worlds as realistic, which can lead to cognitively…

This study presents an innovative approach to promoting the international attractiveness of the University of Turin (UniTo) through synergy with the University of the West Timi?oara in the "UNITorientA" project. In particular, the focus is developing a gamified virtual tour to offer students an interactive immersion in university spaces.…

This paper outlines the use of Third Space theory to support teaching and learning in the context of educational technologies such as m-learning. This research forms part of a wider project which seeks to better understand the potential of mobile learning and develop a framework for mobile assisted third spaces (MATS). The literature highlights…

The rapid development of emerging technologies for mobile devices has enabled them to contribute strongly to the creation of new paths for learning. Mobile learning helps the user to learn at anytime and anywhere and also provides him a unique experience in terms of its flexibility. The problem in mobile learning is not the availability or quality…

Mobile Learning (M-learning) is an emerging area of distance education that takes advantage of the ubiquitous power of mobile devices, enabling the teaching and learning process by increasing access to information and supporting different types of learning. This article is part of a larger study, exploratory and descriptive, in which the use of…

This paper proposes a novel education system for learning electronic circuit construction involving soldering on a universal circuit-board. This system enables a student to efficiently design the layout of circuit components on a circuit board and helps the student securely construct the circuit by soldering the circuit components in accordance…

The present article is aimed at focusing on theoretical and practical efforts in promoting various aspects of digital literacy and mobile learning, as well as to explore its dimensions and projections in the university level. The analysis is based on empirical information for the education process revealed specific aspects of the relationship…
