Limited knowledge exists on participant outcomes relating to citizen science programs. Using the ClimateWatch: Scientist for a Day program as a case study, we sought to understand participant behaviors and attitudes post-program, and evaluated the program's post-engagement initiatives. Phone interviews were conducted with 15 former participants.…

At the basic education level, content related to disasters is included in the scope of courses such as Life Sciences, Science, and Social Studies. Studies reveal that teachers and pre-service teachers who conduct these courses are not equipped with the necessary technological and pedagogical skills. It is predicted that integrating disasters and…

To make Alternative Learning System (ALS) more flexible and inclusive, the researchers aimed to explore the possibilities of utilizing mobile learning as a delivery mode and tool in increasing the delivery of instruction and enhancing learning experiences of its clienteles of the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Program. This study is…

This publication is the new edition of EDC's popular 2011 guide by the same name, completely revised to include lessons learned over the last decade, including the massive move to online learning during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The proliferation of mobile technologies and apps raises questions for researchers in the field of educational technology. Many apps are marketed as having impact on learning or therapeutic outcome in populations with additional support needs. This paper briefly outlines three possible academic responses to the rise of therapeutic technologies for…

Over the last several years, iPads have become increasingly popular in the classroom. The number of available apps that could be used in the mathematics classroom are countless, but some make better mathematical learning tools than others. This research presents a set of sixteen criteria that can be used to evaluate the potential of an iPad app to…

Teaching practices within educational institutions have evolved through the increased adoption of technology to deliver the curriculum and the use of computers for assessment purposes. For educational technologists, there is a vast array of commercial computer applications available for the delivery of objective tests, and in some instances,…

As the use of mathematics apps in classrooms becomes more prevalent, robust research into their effectiveness is required to inform best practice regarding their use. This is particularly the case for Geometry apps where accurate and dynamic representations are critical in enhancing mathematical learning. This paper provides findings from an…

School districts across the country are increasingly seeking out digital tools to support the work of educators, in the hopes of improving students' academic achievement. With the rapid emergence of this new market, many districts have been challenged by the task of identifying and procuring educational technology (ed-tech) products that match the…

Teachers are continually bombarded with a plethora of technologies and told by administrators to incorporate them into their lessons. However, teachers do not always know what to do with all these technologies and professional development is not always available. Thus, this action research study explored 1) preservice teachers' access to various…

This study aimed to develop a web-based learning application as a form of learning revolution. The form of learning revolution includes the provision of unlimited teaching materials, real time class organization, and is not limited by time or place. The implementation of this application is in the form of hybrid learning by using Google Apps for…

To dissolve much of the confusion surrounding videotex and teletext, and the respective merits of these emerging technologies for education, the Annenberg Foundation joined with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to conduct controlled comparison tests. Results of the project are described. (JN)

The report summarizes the results of a field test conducted for the purpose of determining the utility to Naval training of the Systems Capabilities/Requirements and Resources (SCRR) and the Training Process Flow (TPF) computer-based mathematical models. Basic descriptions of the SCRR and the TPF and their development are given. Training…

Search of the literature has provided answers to ten questions on the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction. (WM)

A study was conducted to refine a model Computer-Managed Information System (CMIS) that provides learning prescriptions based on students' learning styles and to identify specific problems concerning its implementation in other time-sharing environments. During the 1974-75 academic year, the CMIS that was constructed and tested the previous year…
