Connectionist MOOC (cMOOC) is a type of MOOC, which can provide an online learning space for learners to sustainable connect. This study analyzed the learning behavior and motivation of repeat learners in the cMOOC "Internet + Education: a dialogue between theory and practice" to study the repeat learning needs and characteristics of…

Maria Montessori established her first school almost 120 years ago. She prepared teachers herself through lectures as well as practice with Montessori manipulatives, and observation of classrooms. That method of preparing teachers had not changed significantly until recent years. Adult learners needed to attend class full-time in person, making it…

This qualitative study investigates university teachers' acceptance of integrating social media into their instructional approaches. The primary research question guiding this study is: How do higher education faculty perceive the role of social media in their teaching? The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a pragmatic qualitative…

The emergence of immersive digital technologies, such as shared augmented reality (shAR), virtual reality (VR) and motion capture (MC) offers promising new opportunities to advance our understanding of human cognition and design innovative technology-enhanced learning experiences. Theoretical frameworks for embodied and extended cognition can…

Digital learning tools and laboratory simulations have been an area of great interest not only due to the advancements of at-home learning but also by allowing students and institutions access to experiences they would not have otherwise due to the high cost of commercial instrumentation. The need for online learning tools became especially…

Image processing-based augmented reality (AR) is widely used in several fields. However, audio content is also crucial in certain cases, for example, focusing on appreciating artwork in a museum, rather than a virtually synthesized image. In this study, an attempt was made to provide ubiquitous learning (u-learning) services by using audio AR for…

Nowadays, the need for e-learning is amplified, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. E-learning platforms present a solution for the continuity of the learning process. Learners are using different platforms and tools for learning. For this, it is necessary to model the learner for the personalization of the learning environment according to…

Students with disabilities are being encouraged to achieve high academic standards in science education to understand the natural world, acquire life skills, and experience career success. To this end, digital technology supports students with disabilities in order for them to achieve science literacy. While relevant research has presented…

Purpose: This study examines higher education students' technology readiness level in explaining adoption intention toward educational Internet of Things (IoT) needed for online learning. Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative deductive research approach is used to check the theory of technology readiness index toward IoT in education. An…

Scratch is widely used as an introductory educational tool for computer programming. However, little is known about how the action of adding favorite projects on Scratch social media influences programming skill improvement. On Scratch social media, learners select personally intriguing projects to view and learn from. Favorite projects both…

The purpose of this Viewpoint is to push readers toward seeing OLPE as an essential ally instead of an existential enemy by outlining ways OLPE addresses barriers to quality PE programming and explaining how it can be used as a catalyst for program enhancement and advocacy, so students have opportunities to experience the full potential of their…

This paper interrogates whether technical democracy is well-suited to contend with possible technical controversies, including the increasing prevalence of EdTech in public schooling. Drawing across Habermasian 'deliberative democracy' that seeks consensus-derived resolution, as well as more agonistic approaches that embrace conflict as the means…

Despite rapid advances, modeling a variety of instructional designs to support variations in teaching and learning during the design of educational technologies is still an open challenge. In this paper, we propose a patterns based approach for the design of educational technologies to address this challenge. This is in contrast with existing…

This article will provide a historical perspective on the use of technology in education by focusing on the field of mathematics education. It will focus specifically on two technologies - presentation tools and calculating tools - and will explore their history and evolution as an example of how technological change, while not dramatically…

This paper focuses on unpacking the United States Air Force's (USAF) instructional system development (ISD) model as it evolved over time to its present form. In post-World War II training, the USAF was a leader in the study and use of systematic instructional design procedures, with its early efforts often coinciding with the work of the…
