This Spotlight will help you analyze key research on school tech use; review expert tips for staying ahead of tech trends; explore strategies for engaging virtual instruction; examine how to use tech to meet…

COVID-19 has brought new hybrid learning environments with some students in the classroom and some others online, synchronously, due to the needs of social distancing. These new hybrid learning environments pose new challenges, for example for group collaboration. This paper presents Smart Groups, a system aimed at helping teachers to orchestrate…

The problem addressed through this qualitative study was that middle school teachers in a suburban public school district in the southern United States were inconsistently using Google Classroom in their classrooms. At the project site, middle school teachers were creating a blended learning environment; however, administrators expected them to…

Second language teaching approaches that were originally proposed for classroom context are used for blended learning context as well as distance learning contexts regardless of their fundamental differences in terms of applicability, accessibility, objectives, designs and theoretical bases. Such theoretical and practical incompatibilities served…

The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate the efficiency of blended teaching online according to the Super Star Learning Pass model on Basic computer application for Shunde Technical Vocational College, (2) compare students' achievements before and after learning through blended teaching online according to the Super Star Learning Pass…

The educational game Interactions 500 was extensively used remotely during the COVID-19 Pandemic as an activity at the Federal University of Ceará (Brazil) to help students review intermolecular forces. In the postpandemic years, the game was also used face-to-face in the classroom. However, Apple Store and Google Play Store removed it from their…

An Evaluation of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Training and Education of Air Force Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Airmen Trident University International 2021 This Doctoral Study evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the training of U.S. Air Force (USAF) Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)…

The research focuses on learning methods that address individual differences, motivation and training goals in fitness running. The aim was to examine the possibilities of use of fitness trackers in smart phones for fitness running lessons. The core of the study was to design and implement an innovative blended learning model to individualize the…

Researchers and educators have advocated computational thinking (CT) should be integrated into K-12 settings as early as elementary schools. However, there has been a lack of knowledge of how pre-service K-8 teachers would be engaged in the learning of CT and its integration in different subject areas. In this study, we taught a flipped learning…

This paper presents five emergent categories of learning with mobile applications (apps) and suggests an overarching profile to characterize such apps. The categories are organized into three levels. The micro level focuses on interactions and includes (i) interaction with the device and (ii) interaction with the environment. The intermediate…

Flipped classroom innovation has attracted the attention of English Language Teaching (ELT) researchers to examine its effectiveness. This inquiry, therefore, elaborates on the effect of flipping (i.e. reversing) individual and collaborative instruction using a "WhatsApp" application on the cohesive ability of English as a Foreign…

In order to effectively use emerging digital educational technologies educators should reflect on how these technologies influence student learning, including student creativity. Existing research shows that creativity can be supported by emerging technologies, but recent research in this area has not yet been reviewed. The purpose of our…

This article describes design patterns of mobile apps for hybrid learning spaces, which often blurs the distinction between digital and non-digital, physical and virtual, online and offline, on-campus and off campus, and academic and non-academic environments. We describe relevant existing design patterns that are helpful for thinking about hybrid…

Online course delivery has increased in prevalence, particularly due to the onset in 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biomedical engineering laboratory courses pose unique challenges when transitioning to a remote or hybrid space. Here, we describe a novel approach to online lab delivery to improve student learning and engagement in a required…
