Learner engagement is a challenge within Geography education, and Higher Education more generally and immersive Virtual Reality (VR) has a wealth of possibilities, but finding simple, straightforward applications that are also pedagogically worthwhile can be a challenge. Three trial runs of full earth simulations in VR in classroom environments…

In the provision of massive open online courses (MOOCs), cloud computing services enable students to synchronize their study materials anywhere, anytime, and using any device, which can improve learning performance and strengthen the teacher-student relationship via knowledge sharing. This study builds on the…

A community college had been attempting to integrate technology into instruction. For example, as a part of the school's attempt to integrate technology, a computer lab was added to all literacy classes in order to create a hybrid model. However, evidence indicated the laboratories were not being used effectively. There was too little exposure to…

Learning management systems have transformed the information delivery mechanism. The present study derives dimensions from technology acceptance model and assesses the association between the faculty's satisfaction, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) in a Moodle-based learning management system. The data collection was done…

This article shares the findings of a mixed-method study about the implementation of 1:1 computing in a small rural Florida school district. Researchers used multiple regression analyses to examine whether Davis' (1989) Technology Acceptance Model helped explain teachers' adoption of 1:1. The results indicated that the rural teachers' perceived…

The Commonwealth Digital Education Leadership Training in Action (C-DELTA) programme provides a framework for fostering digital education for lifelong learning by developing digital education leaders. The Faculty of Education at the Open University of Sri Lanka implemented an action research project to promote the adoption of C-DELTA among…

The effective integration of educational technologies into early childhood education remains a significant challenge. An important element of this challenge is how practitioner beliefs about pedagogy relate to how digital technologies are used in the early years classroom. Focussing on early childhood practitioner beliefs in relation to pedagogy…

Evidence suggests that the use of educational technologies may promote positive learning environments and contribute to students' success. The following mixed methods study examined the impact of Top Hat in a blended learning environment on undergraduate students' sense of belongingness, engagement, and self-confidence in a Canadian post-secondary…

With rapid changes in information and communication technologies, it is no longer sufficient for language teachers and pre-service teachers (PTs) to know how to use existing digital tools. They also need to be digitally literate in order to critically evaluate such tools and platforms for safe, wise, and productive use. Within a qualitative…

The purpose of the present study was to examine if and how the introduction of a flipped learning (FL) framework in Norwegian lower and upper secondary school physical education (PE) could affect student situational motivation and health-related fitness knowledge (HRFK). 206 Norwegian students (48% girls) from secondary and upper secondary schools…

We created a faculty-centric model to serve as a catalyst for faculty engagement that resulted in improved teaching and learning. We aligned the goals and objectives to improve teaching with faculty-centric guiding principles, creating policies and practices that are in the best interest of the faculty. Simple but effective philosophical guiding…

The study investigated the reported regressive performances of students in spatial reasoning concepts with a view to promote early spatial reasoning of lower primary school pupils across ability levels and sex. Non-equivalent experimental research design was employed. A hundred and five (105) pupils in four intact classes were exposed to six weeks…

The purpose of this survey design research study was to assess the teaching styles of naturopathic medical (ND) faculty in terms of teacher-centered or learner-centered using the Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS). A secondary study question was the comparable differences in ND faculty teaching styles, and that of the published literature…

This study aimed to explore faculty members' acceptance of the flipped classroom model (FCM) based technology with student-centered approach in their classrooms in Saudi universities. Specifically, the study investigated factors that influence faculty members acceptance or rejection of the adoption and use of the FCM based technology by…

Pre-service teachers are mostly trained with traditional methods in their institutions and as a result, they do not become competent in technology integration in education. To successfully integrate technology in education, it is necessary for teachers to have knowledge of the content and the pedagogical techniques to teach this content with…
