Development of effective oral presentation skills is an essential component of entrepreneurship education, but class size and time constraints can limit opportunities to practice and receive quality feedback. Immersive virtual reality can provide time- and place-independent opportunities to hone presentation skills in diverse settings with…

Note-taking is generally regarded as an effective learning strategy, but it is also cognitively demanding. Students often omit salient information in their notes due to the burden of trying to listen while writing down what they hear. Two alternative forms to traditional note-taking are online collaborative note-taking and instructor-provided…

Virtual reality (VR) can provide access to otherwise inaccessible aspects of the world and thus promote science learning. We developed a VR learning tool about the water cycle, with 11 lessons for classroom teaching at the primary level. We assessed prior knowledge before a four-week intervention and learning outcomes directly after the…

This study developed a Learning Materials Repository Hub (LMRH) to digitize educational resources for the K-12 education system, addressing the need for centralized, high-quality, and accessible learning materials. Using a developmental research approach, Graduate School students created Digitized Learning Materials (DLMs) aligned with the Most…

Universities face many challenges such as budget costs, licensing, and software and hardware management in their activities related to information and communications technology (ICT). Through overcoming these challenges, universities may deliver smart, secure, and fluent services for their instructors, students, researchers, information…

The increasing popularity of digital textbooks as a new learning media has resulted in a growing interest in developing a new generation of "adaptive textbooks" that can help readers to learn better through adapting to the readers' learning goals and the current state of knowledge. These adaptive textbooks are most frequently powered by…

This article is the second of a two-part series on best practices in receiving digital documents. Part I focused on national databases, third-party digital repositories, institutional websites, and certified documents. Part II looks at a problematic and prevalent of digital records options: email attachments. It discusses the security of email and…

In this article, we provide an empirical example of how digital technology; in this case, GeoGebra may assist students in uncovering--or whiteboxing--the content of a mathematical proof, in this case that of Proposition 41 from Euclid's "Elements." In the discussion of the example, we look into the impact of GeoGebra's…

Assessing the performance of academics at different levels is increasingly difficult to achieve using traditional methods based mainly on numerical scores in evaluating teaching and research activity. The indexing of academic performance in various international databases with impact indices at different scales has led to the need for advanced…

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) about computing devices. Seven families with ASD children were interviewed about their children's use of computer devices and their impact on their academic and social behavior. Although parents raised concerns about internet…

Murat Adam is head of policy and curriculum for the European ministry of education. Political pressure is rising. Media channels across the European federation are labeling the continent as the most recent member of the education periphery. In Mr Adam's world, curricular authority transpires from the big 3, the North American Union (NAU), China,…

Astronomy is one of the few sciences where the data (star-light) can be seen by all. Yet, there is a disconnect between a typical undergraduate lecture and, for example, where a planet may be in the sky and how to observe it. With the advent of moderate cost, high-quality 'back-garden' astronomy, and standard computers powerful enough to produce…

The growing ubiquity, rich functionality, and relative affordability of mobile devices have been seen as opportune factors for implementing mobile learning solutions that can be used in a variety of contexts and domains. Plenty of successful mobile educational applications have been built. This paper describes an attempt to build on this success.…

Pragmatically, machine learning techniques can improve educators' capacity to monitor students' learning progress when applied to quality data. For developing countries, the major obstacle has been the unavailability of quality data that fits the purpose. This is partly because the in-use information systems are either not properly managed or not…

There are a large number of Chinese Kung Fu enthusiasts worldwide. Offline learning has been the primary method for teaching and learning Chinese Kung Fu due to the inability of online 2-D videos to convey spatial information and provide feedback. To address the issues of the high cost of offline teaching, fixed perspectives in 2-D videos, lack of…
