Hybrid teaching has become a common approach, with its inclusive character being a main advantage. However, it also comes with problems such as increased attention requirements for teachers and a lacking social integration of both groups of students (remote, on-site). The present research aims to enhance the potential of hybrid teaching through…

The application of information technology in the classroom is not a new thing. There have been many studies on the impact of information technology on teachers' teaching and students' learning. However, few studies focus on how information technology affects classroom interaction and instructional proxemics. In this study, 43 exemplary lessons…

Second language teaching has recently witnessed a transition from the conventional flipped classes to a fully online flipped instruction. The present study aims to examine the differential effects of two modes of fully online flipped instruction, i.e. interaction-embedded (IE) and interaction-reduced (IR), on EFL learners' speaking. Aligning with…

This case-study analyzed the pedagogical uses of 1:1 devices at a mid-cost private school in India. Relying on interviews, classroom observations, and naturalistic qualitative approaches, we categorized classroom technology use according to the PICRAT model of technology--Passive-Interactive-Creative and Replacement-Amplification-Transformation.…

To date, numerous institutions have transformed traditional lecture halls into technology-enabled active learning classrooms (TEALC) to adapt to the educational notion of "active learning" (AL). To investigate what occurs and how TEALCs are being used for teaching and learning, one of these spaces was evaluated in a Midwestern…

The aim of this study is to design and develop a user-centered, smart-tool prototype that could be used to assist teachers to practice differentiated instruction (DI) in their classrooms. This study also demonstrates how user-centered design process for the development of teacher's tools might be useful to identify system features and to…

Developers and designers of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) products are expressing concerns regarding accountability for ethical design and use of VR/AR products in virtual learning environments. Within the field of education, more research is needed to determine how VR/AR designers make decisions regarding ethical issues, and particularly…

Recent literature suggests that communicative language tasks widely used by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers to try and improve Japanese students' learning have had little effect on improving their language ability and their intrinsic motivation to improve. Consequently, a number of teachers are now using interactive technology in the…

Despite the uncertainty in the rapidly changing world, many countries expect their educational institutions to be ready for the future. To meet these expectations, educational policymakers bring in new changes. One of these transformational changes is the "Future Classroom Lab (FCL)," coordinated by the European Schoolnet with 15…

Research on interactive learning space classrooms has reported that instructors and students find them engaging, and engagement is expected to increase learning outcomes. Positive findings about interactive classrooms, though, are often confounded with active learning pedagogy since instructors who teach in interactive classrooms tend to also…

This study aims to investigate the effects of the flipped classroom model on ninth grade students' self-directed learning readiness and attitudes towards the English course and identify how the flipped classroom method affects students' self-directed learning readiness and attitudes towards the English course as well as the potential reasons for…

Recently, the inverted instruction methodologies are gaining attentions in higher educations by claiming that flipping the classroom engages more effectively students with the learning process. Besides, students' perceptions and emotions involved in their learning process must be assessed in order to gauge the usability of this relatively new…

This paper provides an overview of a teaching and learning project that explored the flipped classroom model to determine if it was an effective teaching and learning method to use with library and information studies (LIS) students with diverse learning needs. The project involved developing a range of videos in different styles for students to…

Oral production is an important part in English learning. Lack of a language environment with efficient instruction and feedback is a big issue for non-native speakers' English spoken skill improvement. A computer-assisted language learning system can provide many potential benefits to language learners. It allows adequate instructions and instant…

A virtual learning environment can engage university students in the learning process in ways that the traditional lectures and lab formats cannot. We present our virtual learning environment "StudentResearcher," which incorporates simulations, multiple-choice quizzes, video lectures, and gamification into a learning path for quantum…
