The article is devoted to the problem of formation of media competence which is based on organization of project activities of future teachers within blended learning. Rapid development of digital technologies, expansion of wide public access to the content of various types (professional, educational, and entertainment) leads to the attraction of…

First-year students in a distance learning institution face academic writing challenges arising from inadequate writing skills developed in high school, the need to adapt to new writing standards, and limited language proficiency. These challenges could potentially lead to higher dropout' rates, increased failures, and delayed qualification…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a research model based on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model to test whether network externality, gamification and media richness as environmental feature antecedents to learners' learning engagement (LE) can affect their continuance intention of massive open online courses (MOOCs).…

This study investigates the effect of offering multiple means of representing content, one aspect of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Students across the full range of the dis/ability spectrum all too often struggle to achieve course success. UDL-based course design promises to help students with disabilities (whether disclosed or not) as well…

Self-directed learning (SDL) is integral to medical education. It helps in fostering critical thinking, independence, and problem-solving skills. With advancements in technology, digital tools like search engines, interactive content, and large language model (LLM) chatbots have become supplementary tools to traditional materials such as…

This is Volume 44 of the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook. For the past 40 years, our Yearbook has contributed to the field of Educational Technology in presenting contemporary topics, ideas, and developments regarding diverse technology tools for educational purposes. The Yearbook has inspired researchers, practitioners, and teachers to…

This article reports the development of a dissemination work and analysis of the influence of a chemistry science dissemination video on the perception of university students in relation to scientific research carried out at the public university, to scientific dissemination itself and the use of scientific dissemination videos as learning tools.…

The comprehension and calibration of 54 undergraduates were investigated as they read excerpts from an introductory geology textbook on weather and soil in print and digitally. All excerpts were approximately 1600 words in length and contained a graph, a diagram, and three photographs that complemented or extended the written text. Each student…

Facing the post-COVID-19 pandemic, teachers need to enhance technology in their teaching and learning process, especially in delivering the materials for the students. As digital natives, students are familiar with technology, and it makes them excited in learning English materials. Academic writing materials are complex because it involves…

The prevalence of self-construction practices in Türkiye has resulted in a building stock whose earthquake resilience is highly uncertain. To mitigate the potentially devastating impact of anticipated large earthquakes, one viable approach is to increase earthquake awareness among builders themselves. However, these builders lack formal…

This is a case study of integrating streaming media reserves services into a suite of course reserve services provided by the User Services and Resource Sharing department at the University. This integration presented several challenges including: employees having no prior streaming media experience, staffing, technology, copyright, and user…

In this study, the instructional design process in three-dimensional multi-user virtual environments (3D MUVEs) based on a problem-based learning approach was examined and authentic design experiences were shared. Besides, a design model was proposed to guide people who want to design these 3D MUVEs and to use these environments for educational…

The cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML) describes a set of empirically tested principles that technical and professional communication research largely acknowledges as important to the design of presentation slides. However, presenters often run into difficulties understanding how to apply CTML principles to contexts in which it has not…

The purpose of this paper is to develop an approach to assessing the requirements of students and identifying the most appropriate teaching methods and aids to support their learning needs. The model derives concepts from the medical triage system leading to the development of an educational triage approach for application in the tertiary…

The main research purpose focused on investigating the instructional strategies to produce educational media systematically. The qualitative research methods were conducted by in-depth interviews with the experts and undergraduate students on effectively designing these instructional strategies. The participants consisted of two groups; 1) nine…
