Undergraduate university students experience a knowledge gap when required to use unfamiliar software applications without the benefit of direct instruction. As a solution, students often turn to online support, particularly video, but little is known about students' perceptions of the effectiveness of support videos. As libraries are a principle…

The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore preservice teachers' experiences with video observations at Central University. The theory guiding this study was Bandura's self-efficacy theory as it provides insights into the internal and external factors that affect an individual's perception of their capabilities.…

As meaning-making increasingly happens in digital spaces, it is essential for researchers to examine how students learn to critically read and navigate within and across constantly changing online platforms. This qualitative study examines university students' experiences reading and navigating online. To do so, the author examines self-created…

Objectives: Communication skills are crucial for effective software development teams, but those skills are difficult to teach. The goal of our project is to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching face-to-face communication skills using AVW-Space, a platform for video-based learning that provides personalized nudges to support student's engagement…

While existing studies acknowledge the importance of using technology in the mathematical modelling process, questions about how to integrate digital tools into mathematical modelling are not still answered. This study aims to examine pre-service mathematics teachers' designing and solving mathematical modelling problems by using different digital…

Physical therapy (PT) education programs adopting online teaching and learning must ensure students acquire the necessary skills for optimal professional work readiness, including appropriate assessment and feedback in the online environment. The problem addressed in this study is the gap in research related to the use of GoReact video assessment…

The present study aims to investigate how social media can influence the development of oral skills in 60 students from a higher education institution in Peru. In this regard, mixed-methods research was conducted, with pre and post-tests, to evaluate the before and after of implementing a program that involved uploading videos recorded by the…

Led by artificial intelligence (AI), digital technologies are acting as a lever for significant change in higher education. Innovative formats such as macrolearning, the concatenation of a significant number of microlearning units, are consequently emerging. The purpose of this paper is to explore students' preferences for macrolearning programmes…

The aim of the study was to develop a cost-effective form of online proctoring mechanism that can serve as a scalable and secure solution to cater to high-stake assessments in institutions, with a particular focus on attaining high levels of flexibility and user-friendliness. With reference to existing systems, a self-proctored mechanism is…

Self-regulation strategies and behaviors are important aspects of instrumental music learning because they allow students to set learning goals by testing and controlling their cognition, motivation, behaviors, and emotions. This work investigates the self-regulation processes of four young instrumentalists (aged 10-11 years) in their initial…

Adopting Oxfam's key elements of education for global citizenship, this case study investigates how digital storytelling, a participatory media practice, is used for citizenship education among Chinese college students. A thematic analysis of in-depth interviews suggests digital storytelling can be used as an effective pedagogical tool as students…

Reflection in language learning plays a key role in promoting a deeper understanding of one's own learning. Previous studies show that reflective speaking could raise students' higher critical thinking, and that technology helps facilitate this reflection effectively. This study aimed to investigate the use of VoiceThread for a reflective speaking…

Purpose: Software training is a new trend in software applications. A key problem with software training is that video tutorials are developed without considering the target audience. Although video tutorials are popular, little attention is given to their design features. This study aims to investigate how two multimedia research principles,…
