The potential of classroom videos to enhance reflective practices in pre-service teacher education is hindered by the sheer volume of captured activities. An AI-powered teacher dashboard could address this challenge by analyzing and visualizing information extracted from these videos, supporting reflection in video-based professional learning…

Background: Computer programming learning and education play a critical role in preparing a workforce equipped with the necessary skills for diverse fields. ChatGPT and YouTube are technologies that support self-directed programming learning. Objectives: This study aims to examine the sentiments and primary topics discussed in YouTube comments…

The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service teachers' perceptions of traditional observations and feedback compared with virtual observations and feedback during practicum placements. Specifically, researchers were interested in exploring methods for providing quality practicum experience feedback. A mixed-methods research design…

The move to digital, and now hybrid, education has defamiliarised teaching practices and unsettled experiences of what it means to be and to engage at university. In this article, I examine what new questions evolving teaching and learning practices provoke with regards rethinking notions of the body, and concepts of presence and absence.…

Educators have been using video feedback (VF) to respond to student writing for several decades. Most qualitative and quantitative research on VF has thoroughly demonstrated that students want more video comments along with written feedback (WF). Despite the research supporting the advantages of VF, very few studies identify the labor and time…

This study assesses the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and efficacy of a novel asynchronous video-based intervention for teaching respiratory physiology and anatomy to medical students in resource-limited settings. A series of short video lectures on pleural anatomy, pulmonary physiology, and pathophysiology was created using…

Vlogs, asynchronous video blogs where individuals film themselves to share personal experiences, have been widely used in educational settings. This study explores the integration of Microsoft Flip (Flip), a vlogging platform, in higher education, focusing on its use by academics during a 3-year pilot preceding institution-wide adoption. Grounded…

While the video discussion tool Flipgrid has increasingly become popular among educators, limited research has been conducted with Flipgrid as the subject. The research on Flipgrid has focused, to date, primarily on single-case uses. These studies have been beneficial in examining how Flipgrid is being used in isolated contexts. The goal in…

Ransdell and Rieck (2020) found that distance learning was a physical and mental challenge in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study compares Zoom, Canvas, and smartphone use from 2020 to 2023, when the COVID-19 pandemic has receded. For many students, phones are used more and larger devices less. Students who realize that…

The use of technology in language teaching and learning has been rising in popularity with rapid developments in technology as well as increased need due to the recent coronavirus pandemic. Moreover, the sheer number of technologies available and the choices with how to implement them can be quite daunting for educators. In this article, three…

There was a surge in online learning and education during the COVID-19 pandemic, which means that prior research findings need to be tested against what happened during that time frame in order to see if it still holds up. When largely using computers and online settings to communicate with one another in the teaching realm, how did this impact…

The technology acceptance model (TAM) uses perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use to predict the intention to use a technology which is important when deciding to invest in a technology. Its extension for e-learning (the general extended technology acceptance model for e-learning; GETAMEL) adds subjective norm to predict the intention to…

History teaching and learning can be improved through pedagogically innovative practices. In the face of technological advancement, this study examined the effectiveness of mobile blended learning on the academic performance of senior high school history students. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research approach using a pretest-posttest…

Mass school closures and restricted mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic have intensified matters of technology, teaching, and participation in schools. In response to this situation, this paper examines how attendance practices work during school closure and screen-saturated pandemic isolation at a Swedish upper secondary school. The aim is to…

The role of practice has been largely overlooked in second/foreign (L2) pragmatics research. Furthermore, very few studies have directly compared the effects of different "practice contexts" (e.g. practice in a telecollaborative context versus practice in a face-to-face context) on L2 learners' pragmatic competence (e.g. in compliment…
