Virtual simulations are a very useful educational resource to improve the teaching of chemistry. Their use makes it possible to facilitate the comprehension of concepts, promotes the development of scientific competences and even improves student attitudes toward chemistry. However, it is important to point out that a simulation by itself is not…

Research has highlighted the important role that the senses play in mathematics thinking and learning, particularly in the area of visualisation, but also in relation to physical movement. Recent scholarship suggests that sensory experiences are not limited to the five cardinal senses but involve a range of other specific senses as well as…

The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) initially emerged as a term in the field of computer science. In the subsequent years, this concept transcended its origins and became relevant across various domains of human life. Nowadays, it's possible to encounter AI in nearly every aspect of human life. In this context, it's considered noteworthy…

Aim/Purpose: The study seeks to utilize Augmented Reality (AR) in creating virtual laboratories for engineering education, focusing on enhancing teaching methodologies to facilitate student understanding of intricate and theoretical engineering principles while also assessing engineering students' acceptance of such laboratories. Background: AR, a…

A retrospective review of 50 years of research and development experience showing the connectedness of the author's theoretical ideas to practical application. An effort to show designers how over the span of a career new ideas begin as work-related insights and discoveries that by problem solving flow together to create a unique personal view of…

To effectively avoid subjective bias in manual evaluation. This article proposes a MIDI piano teaching performance evaluation method based on bidirectional LSTM. This method utilizes a three-layer bidirectional LSTM neural network mechanism to make it easier for the model to capture useful information. In addition, the Spark clustering training…

It mainly focuses on better understanding the policies, practices, and challenges of digitalization of higher education in the country. The necessary data were mainly generated from continental, national, and institutional policy and strategy documents. Publicly available…

This article examines the current thrust to digitalize higher education in Zimbabwe as the country strives to attain its vision to become an upper middle-income economy by 2030. In this regard, Innovation and Industrialisation have been added as missions of special emphasis at all education levels. This entailed that Higher Education Institutions…

Background: The ability of outdoor educators and their participants to be present with each other and the natural and cultural histories of places can impact the realisation of learning outcomes and safety. Purpose: In this paper, we combine the findings of two separate research studies regarding the potential for digital technology to both…

In this paper, we introduce "Integrity Games" (https://integgame.eu/)--a freely available, gamified online teaching tool on academic integrity. In addition, we present results from a randomized controlled experiment measuring the learning outcomes from playing "Integrity Games." "Integrity Games" engages students in…

This book shares a wealth of educational stakeholder viewpoints about digital distraction from a 1:1 technology integrated high school. Data was collected before, during, and after the start of COVID-19, which provides a unique view into integrated learning and its transformation since the pandemic. The author conducted interviews with both…

This qualitative case study aimed to identify how teachers gain knowledge by using technology in the classroom. This study helps give the tools that are needed to be successful. Teachers may undergo intensive training in technology to be successful. Virtual surveys were conducted with certified teachers who used technology. The findings indicated…

Attention and emotional states are crucial factors that influence the learning quality of learners engaged in online learning. Nevertheless, controversies exist regarding the effectiveness of enhancing attention and emotions compared to face-to-face learning. Through a comparative analysis of learners' attention and emotional states in…

Augmented Reality (AR) has been continuously adopted in K-12 settings, showing its beneficial impact. Despite numerous studies highlighting the benefit of AR that can enhance students' motivation, no meta-analysis providing an in-depth look into AR's impact on students' motivation has been conducted, particularly in K-12 settings. In this…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of the studies in terms of country, participant profile and methodology, as well as to determine what the Internet of Things (IoT) is currently contributing to higher education. Design/methodology/approach: The study was developed following the methodology supported by the…
