Conversational user interfaces (CUI), including voice interfaces, which allow users to converse with computers via voice, are gaining wide popularity. VoiceBots allow users to receive a response in real-time, regardless of the communication device. VoiceBots have been explored in fields such as customer service to automate repetitive queries and…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative effects of using GeoGebra software and traditional teaching approaches on the performance of TVET students in linear equations. The study followed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent group consisting of pre- and post-test measures. The population of the study consisted of…

Despite rapid advances, modeling a variety of instructional designs to support variations in teaching and learning during the design of educational technologies is still an open challenge. In this paper, we propose a patterns based approach for the design of educational technologies to address this challenge. This is in contrast with existing…

This qualitative study examines the risks educators in Jordan face with the integration of ChatGPT, an emerging AI technology, into academic settings. While considerable attention has been given to risks affecting university students, there remains a gap in understanding the specific challenges encountered by educators themselves. Through…

Background and Context: The Domain-Specific Programming (DSP) platforms EarSketch and TunePad are being used widely in schools for coding novices. Existing studies on both platforms have mainly concentrated on attitudinal changes, leaving a gap in the literature. Objective: The purpose of this research was to advance our understanding of two…

This paper describes a digital application designed for learning Space Groups of Symmetry (SGS). It teaches how to recognize the operations performed by the symmetry elements, both point (or 2D) operators (proper and improper rotations, including mirroring, inversion, and other rotoinversions), and space (or 3D) operators (screw axes and glide…

The COVID pandemic highlighted the increasing deployment of digital technologies in educational institutions, defined as 'edtech'. The most visible edtech was video conferencing software, but a swathe of edtech startups have sought to roll out their products and services to educational institutions. We focus specifically on the deployment of…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) involves processes by which learners purposefully direct their cognitions, emotions, and behaviors towards the achievement of personal learning goals. Research has shown that young learners often struggle with SRL. Educational technology could be useful to support their SRL. However, it remains unclear how support…

Patterns are a fundamental component of mathematics, and the patterning ability of young children has been well researched; however, this research has largely been conducted with relatively small cohorts (±70) and in an interventionist way (in laboratory settings or with researchers directly intervening in educational contexts). The current study…

Augmented reality (AR) has been shown to have a positive impact on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) because it can effectively simulate the real environment through interactive experiences created by the integration of digital elements with the outside world. This research aimed to verify the effectiveness of a training program based…

Mathematics seems abstract, difficult, and uninteresting to many students, which in turn reduces their interest in learning mathematics. It has been found that the use of ICT and meaningful contexts of problem-solving tasks can make learning mathematics more enjoyable and easier to understand for students. To increase students' interest in…

The 'Internet Plus Music Education' utilizes online technologies to transcend traditional educational constraints of time and space, offering students flexible and efficient learning pathways, thereby innovating the mode of music education. This study thoroughly analyzes the characteristics of this model and its future development, focusing on how…

This study explores how well DAW software works for students' 'Academic Singing' training in raising their motivation and academic performance. The practical portion included a case study based on the BandLab DAW system, including its educational analysis. A five-month experiment was conducted with 150 s-year [Harbin Normal University]…

Mathematical proofs play a paramount role in developing 21st-century skills, and the use of technology in mathematics learning has widely paved the way in the instruction of mathematical proofs. In mathematics education, GeoGebra has a significant role as a dynamic mathematics software in supporting students' learning process. This study aims to…

In this basic qualitative study, faculty hesitation toward using Moodle learning management system (LMS) for instructional delivery was investigated. The research question focused on how faculty perspectives on their hesitation toward using the institution's LMS in the Faculty of Social Sciences at a Caribbean university in Guyana reflect the…
