E-schools, marked by their digital and interactive settings, offer synchronous and asynchronous learning, transcending traditional educational confines. Highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, these schools emphasize flexibility and accessibility, crucial for education during crises. The expected post-pandemic growth of e-learning stresses…

As education is a global concern, utilising educational technology to facilitate teaching and learning activities has been widely practised almost everywhere at every minute for decades. Revisiting the historical development of a particular technology is noteworthy to education practitioners, historians and various interested parties. Concerning…

This practical guide to multimedia in online college instruction provides easy-to-follow instructions for designing multimedia assignments that maximize student learning while reducing cognitive load. This book presents the learning process as a complex, multidimensional experience that includes texts as well as auditory and visual elements. Each…

This multiple case analysis examines how AI ethics education's unique characteristics transform traditional e-learning approaches in synchronous and asynchronous environments. Through analysis of two contrasting cases -- Loyola Marymount University's synchronous workshops and Usher and Barak's asynchronous module -- the study investigates how…

The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore current challenges, barriers, and successful practices from nursing faculty regarding how they are using learning or educational technology when teaching graduate nursing courses in an online environment. The target population for this study comprised nursing faculty who use teaching and…

This study aimed to determine the difference in students' level of understanding before and after using synchronous and asynchronous network learning modes. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental research design. Data were obtained from 87 students who were divided into two experimental groups. The results show a higher level of…

In recent years, several role-modelling initiatives have been testing and exploring the use of digital technologies to facilitate young people's encounters with role models in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The aim of this article is twofold. Firstly, through a literature review, the article aims to provide an…

The paper describes the design and implementation of a virtual lab for on-line lab training on optical communications, part of the 'Optical Communications' course offered at the Dept. of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Educators, School of Pedagogical & Technological Education (ASPETE), Athens, Greece. The virtual lab is based on the…

Despite the solid evidence that online collaborative writing (CW) tasks benefit language learning, little is known about whether the computer-mediated communication (CMC) modality may impact the potential of online CW tasks in foreign language classrooms. This study examined the effect of task modality on the utility of CW tasks in language…

With the traditional jigsaw technique, small groups are formed with each student having a piece of information needed to complete the assignment. Next, groups of students with the same information meet to explore their material before returning to their home group to complete the assignment. This study sought to determine the efficacy of a…

Technology has changed the practices related to teaching and learning mathematics in schools. The demand for learning mathematics in virtual environments is increasing in the 21st-century classroom. There has been widespread expansion of the use of technology in education. This column reviews three types of instruction--synchronous, asynchronous,…

As COVID-19 continues to impact various business sectors, university administrators have steadily pushed for all academic units to resume on campus operations and activities; conversely, faculty and students have expressed increased interest in continuing online teaching/learning. We aim to mitigate this "tug-of-war" between…

Today our period is marked as the age of science and technology. There is no aspect of human civilization today where the influence of science and technology has not been felt. 'Education' is a very important field of human life. So very naturally and for good reason this technology is being used in many ways in the field of education. The overall…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of those technologies with a wide range of applications, from planes to cars, from factories to homes. As IoT technology is an interdisciplinary field, it is generally one of the most difficult subjects to learn. Therefore, there is a need to use and develop new teaching methods to facilitate the teaching of IoT…

In response to COVID-19, educators rapidly pivoted to new and innovative ways of delivering lecture material. The ability to host synchronous lectures on platforms like Zoom gave students continued access to classroom material in the face of an ongoing pandemic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in exam scores between…
