Faculty and students alike can benefit from the use of educational technology, yet keeping up with the latest developments can pose a challenge for busy faculty. This article reviews one tool that could be used to facilitate teaching and learning in face-to-face, hybrid, or online courses. Acadly is an online platform and mobile application…

With reference to the framework in The International Data Science in Schools Project, this paper aims to discuss the course design, teaching and learning, and assessment of a foundation course offered in an undergraduate statistics and data science programme. SAS® University Edition (a free software package) is adopted in this foundation course.…

Teaching business analytics has become a critical requirement in many business schools to stay competitive, and the search for real-world examples of business analytics applications is a subject of great interest among analytics instructors. Instructors want to be able to show students how to develop and build business analytics applications that…

"Doing economics" is an important theme of undergraduate economics programs. Capstone courses increasingly include instruction in "data literacy" and the STEM-related skills of quantitative and empirical methods. Because the professional discipline has moved in this direction and because of greater employer demand for these…

The new models of teaching and learning have their focus on technology, especially on issues related to ubiquity. The impact of ICT in education generates new learning opportunities: the mobile or ubiquitous, which open new doors to technological environments that allow students to learn at any time and place, providing, in addition, tools that…

Project Management is an important skill for business students to develop. Although project-oriented activity is very common, the success rate for projects is poor. Many projects fail due to poor planning. This article describes a multipart class exercise used to teach elements of a project management methodology to undergraduate and graduate…

Cloud computing offers developers of learning environments access to unprecedented amounts of learner data. This makes possible "data-driven development" (D[superscript 3]) of learning environments. In the D[superscript 3] approach the learning environment is a data collection tool as well a learning tool. It continually collects data…

The present study investigates whether embedding cueing in videotutorials for software training influences task performance. It also considers the indirect effects of cueing on cognitive load, self-efficacy, motivation, and flow. One hundred eighteen undergraduate students from a Greek Computer Science Department participated in the study which…

Purpose: This paper aims to propose a maker's approach to teaching an operating systems (OSs) course in which students apply knowledge of OSs to making a toy robot by focusing on input/outputs, hardware devices and system programming. Design/methodology/approach: Classroom action research is involved in this study. Findings: After the course was…

Sydney J. Harris advises us, "The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows." Never like today, are we in the need to help teachers and professors to guide their students to open windows and get involved with the geopolitical and economic needs of the world. This paper tests the hypothesis that Microsoft OneNote Class…

The age of data analytics requires "data scientists" across a wide range of business disciplines with deep knowledge of how to manage and analyse vast amounts of data to support decision-making. As a result, new analytical tools are being taught in the Management Information Systems (MIS) or business analytics (BA) programs to foster…

Tractors are used to perform jobs that require different types of agricultural tools to be attached to their rear, to their front, or both. These tools may need to be dragged, towed, or suspended above ground, and sometimes require a power supply; this is usually obtained via a hydraulic system or from the tractor's power take-off system. When…

This manuscript's purpose is to introduce Q as a methodology before providing clarification about the preferred factor analytical choices of centroid and theoretical (hand) rotation. Stephenson, the creator of Q, designated that only these choices allowed for scientific exploration of subjectivity while not violating assumptions associated with…

Although statistical methods and research design are crucial areas of competency for psychologists, few studies explore how statistics are taught across doctoral programs in psychology in the United States. The present study examined 153 American Psychological Association-accredited doctoral programs in clinical and counseling psychology and aimed…

Purpose: Integrating laboratory work into interactive engineering eLearning contents augments theory with practice while simultaneously ameliorating the apparent theory-practice gap in traditional eLearning. The purpose of this paper is to assess and recommend media that currently fulfil this desirable dual pedagogical goal.…
