The current paper reports on a study that was conducted at the University of South Africa (UNISA) in 2021. The study involved three cohorts of undergraduate students (n = 20, n = 12 and n = 18), where each cohort participated in one of the virtual sessions offered on MS Teams as part of their modules' virtual classes. Employing a case study…

Technology has paved the way for new modalities in language learning, teaching, and assessment. However, there is still a great deal of work to be done to develop such tools for oral communication, specifically tools that address suprasegmental features in pronunciation instruction. Therefore, this critical literature review examines how…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the activities designed with 3D printing technology on the teaching of the sixth-grade systems in our body unit and to determine the views of students on this technology. In this study, a mixed research design in which quantitative and qualitative research methods are used together was…

The paper addresses concept formation processes of students in the field of geometry. More precisely, the paper deals with the questions of what knowledge do students activate about triangles in different contexts with different (digital) tools and furthermore what content-related meaning do they give to the concept of triangles? Methodologically,…

The objective of this study is to assist school psychologists and school districts in understanding the cost of implementing the Dual Discrepancy/Consistency (DD/C) method, which is the most widely used PSW method of SLD identification. A literature review was conducted to obtain national data on variables needed to estimate the cost of…

In recent years, as the digital technology develops by leaps and bounds and the intercultural communication deepens further, Chinese culture has been presented in multimodal texts such as visual texts, audiovisual texts, and hypertexts. The term translation in multimodal texts is different from that in single-modal texts in many ways, but…

Purpose: Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are important to support communication for individuals with complex communication needs. A recent addition to AAC system options is the brain-computer interface (BCI). This study aimed to compare the clinical application of the P300 speller BCI with two more common AAC systems, the…

The growing number of educational options and job opportunities has made career planning increasingly complex and uncertain. To help students navigate these choices, this paper introduces Career Guidance Application (CGA), a tool designed to assist secondary level students (grades 9-12) in selecting their field of study based on their academic and…

In recent years, academic and practitioner attention to improving attainment as a result of feedback, as well as satisfaction with it, has led to a conceptualisation of feedback that considers learners' active role in making feedback processes effective. This has led to interest in 'feedback literacy' or what learners need for productive feedback…

Purpose: The authors propose that a digital instructional delivery format of lesson study (LS) may have the potential to amplify particular aspects of traditional, face-to-face LS. Design/methodology/approach: This is a qualitative case study, using data triangulation, member checking and an inductive approach to open-coding utilizing grounded…

Contribution: This article demonstrates the impact of today's Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teaching software engineering (SE) course with design-based learning (DBL) and project-based learning (PBL). The results show a positive influence of integration of DBL and PBL in reducing industry gaps with improved student…

This study examines interactions between students with atypical motor and speech abilities, their teachers, and eye tracking devices under varying conditions typical of educational settings (e.g., interactional style, teacher familiarity). Twelve children (aged 4-12 years) participated in teacher-guided sessions with eye tracking software that are…

In 2017, I developed a computer application entitled "Sanka Play," which enables audience members to participate in improvisational performances by making real-time requests to performers. In most cases of free improvisation, the audience atmosphere influences performers. While audience--performer interaction is generally nonverbal,…
