In university education, lecturers often adopt didactic lectures in undergraduate calculus classes. This method has been judged for making students passive recipients of calculus knowledge who cannot construct their own knowledge of the discipline. One way to make didactic lecture more interactive and engaging in calculus class is to encourage…

Mobile-based learning has emerged as the best solution for the constraints posed by traditional educational methods. This article makes an important contribution by filling the research gap in current trends in mobile inquiry-based learning in science and providing valuable insights for educational researchers and practitioners in developing more…

This study investigates the challenges of teaching history to primary school students and the endeavour to develop a board game, supported by educational apps and augmented reality, to enhance the learning experience. The initiative is in response to the New Zealand Ministry of Education's mandate that New Zealand's history must be taught in all…

Real-world applications can be potent tools in chemistry teaching, fostering highly beneficial learning for students. By involving students in real-world phenomena, we not only alter their perceptions of chemistry but also cultivate crucial chemistry competencies, preparing them for the future as scientists and citizens. In this report, we…

To aid in teaching dialogue skills a virtual simulator called "Communicate!" was developed at Utrecht University. Teachers can build scenarios for students to practice dialogues with a virtual character. In two experiments (n = 128 and 133, a year apart), we investigated if and how "Communicate!" can be an effective aid to…

This paper reports on students' learning experience with a hybrid Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) app called the Kuching Heritage App (KHA). We investigated the effect of visualisations, time lapse (i.e., past to present), and the witnessing of historical changes on students' learning experience about cultural heritage. This pilot…

This paper details a unique study undertaken at a regional Western Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) Aboriginal boarding school, describing the research design, an overview of the research project and the findings that evolved. The study sought to answer the question of how well the school was preparing its young people to…

This article presents several examples of digital technologies, such as the use of augmented reality, virtual reality, mLearning, web-based GIS, online applications, and the like, which can be used in the educational process of geography. We also present the methodologies created within the national project called IT Academy - Education for the…

This mixed research analyzes the use of the Collaborative Wall to improve the teaching-learning conditions in the Bachelor of Visual Arts considering data science and machine learning (linear regression). The sample is made up of 46 students who took the Geometric Representation Systems course at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)…

WhatsApp, the message-sharing social media app, is commonly used by students to collaborate on class assignments. This article examines the use of WhatsApp as part of a course gradable assignments and weekly pre- and postlecture discussions. This study is based on a survey and interviews conducted with undergraduate university students in the UAE…

The development of communication and other soft skills among computer science students is not usually an easy task. Often, curricula focus on technical skills, with team projects being used for the improvement of communication skills. However, these teams usually comprise solely of computer science students. In this paper, we present a didactical…

We have developed and demonstrated the effectiveness of a set of online interactive learning modules to accompany physics courses at first- and second-year university levels. Students access the modules prior to attending lectures to familiarize themselves with content which is then discussed and reaffirmed in class. Student surveys and access…

Technological advancements are often regarded as positive, as they are usually expected to make life and business easier. While this can often be the case, it is not always true, and much of the improvement in the realm of technology comes from analysis of new technologies for effectiveness. "Technology Management in Organizational and…

The use of mobile technology for learning in organizations and the workplace is spreading widely with the development of infrastructure and devices that allow ubiquitous learning and training. Since learning, teaching, and training in a mobile-saturated environment is a developing field, implications for a combined overview of these topics may be…

In this study, smartphone was used to alter the traditional procedure by involving students in active learning experiences prior to the laboratory meeting. The researcher surveyed students' view on the effect of using smartphone to enhance learning in the general physics laboratory. The use of smartphone was evaluated by having 120 students who…
