The project "Academia Digital para Pais" began in a pandemic context, in an effort of the Ministry of Education and the private sector, aiming at helping the digital-struggling families. The COVID-19 pandemic led schools to a sudden closure, highlighting the challenges families faced, both in terms of access to technologies, and in terms…

The rise of digital technologies since the second half of the 20th century has transformed every aspect of our lives and has had an ongoing effect even on one of the most conservative fields, education, including chemistry education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, chemistry teachers around the world were forced to teach remotely. This situation…

This study aimed to determine if the T3 framework for technology in education impacts students' vocabulary learning, oral language, and reading comprehension, specifically for students labeled as English Language Learners (ELLs). Students were asked to learn two root words a week for four weeks. During each instructional week, students were asked…

The effectiveness of video modeling (VM) has been well documented in research studies completed in the Western world. VM has been used to establish skills in several areas, such as language, imitation, social behavior, play, academics, and other adaptive skills. VM has been shown to be particularly effective with children with autism. However,…

Use of the term Background knowledge, in conjunction with Reading Comprehension, has become convoluted and vague over the past several decades of research. Showing the abundance of uses of the term in multiple domains and disciplines has relegated it to being an automatic inclusion in key notes and conclusions of research on the topic of improving…

Higher education institutes experience lower success rates in online learning environments compared to traditional learning. Students' engagement within the learning management system (LMS) is one of the main factors affecting students' academic performance and retention. This quantitative correlational-predictive study examined if, and to what…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to articulate how the user experience (UX) approach was initiated and integrated into the centre's scope of operations with the objective of improving the e-learning layout on the D2L learning management system (LMS). One of the most effective ways to collect user feedback has historically been to evaluate…

With the development of educational technologies, electronic books (e-books) have been improved and adapted to cater to new teaching models, as well as to overcome several challenges reported by printed book portability. The literature about the benefits of e-books in education is still fragmented as several studies have reported distinct…

This article explores an inventive approach to teaching physiology that blends the use of the Notability app on the iPad with video-based learning to visually explain intricate physiological concepts in real time. The core idea is to offer students a more dynamic and interactive way to comprehend complex physiological concepts during review…

Employers want graduates who excel in communication, collaboration, and teamwork. But implementing activities and assessments to support this skill development can be challenging in higher education large-enrollment classes where the balance between the extra work it creates for faculty and perceived value for students must be carefully…

This research will be carried out at the basic physics laboratory of the physics education study program, Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. The long-term goal of this research is to produce a prototype model of basic physics practicum based on the virtual android observatory to facilitate the ICT literacy skills of prospective physics teachers.…

The learning and education crises in developing countries are often linked to diverse factors, including low teacher presence in schools, teachers' absenteeism, low utilisation of their skills, and available resources for teaching. We ask whether improving teachers' accountability in Nigeria might yield important learning gains for vulnerable…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education is enhancing the potential of the teaching and learning process, fostering academic achievement, and bringing innovation. Studies on AI have yet to discuss widely the quantitative implications in educational institutions. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the implications and perceived…

Engaging a large cohort of students with teaching content is a difficult task for any educator working in higher education. When students are not receiving feedback about their participation efforts, this can lead to decreased engagement. Polling activities, such as hands up responses, can be used to address this but students cannot respond…

With the rapid advances in technology (e.g., the internet, hardware, and software), technology-supported learning environments have widely emerged in K-16 learning and instruction. A survey found that 73% of teachers had their students use smartphones to conduct internet searches, and almost half of students reported using e-readers and tablets to…
