Mobile learning has ushered in a transformative era in education, compelling educational institutions to reimagine their pedagogical approaches. This shift is particularly evident in teacher training programs, where mobile learning is increasingly integrated into traditional education. The success of these integrated systems hinges on educators'…

This critical participatory action research explored undergraduate female Saudi students' perspectives on the implications of a self-organised learning environment (SOLE) via their mobile devices. Data was gathered from interviews and focus groups using a convenience sample of 27 undergraduate students and the researcher's reflective journals. The…

The sources of knowledge have diversified and increased due to the widespread use of the Internet and smartphones. However, this diversity requires learners to know how to deal with and obtain knowledge and the extent of their credibility and usefulness. Subsequently, they must learn language learning strategies, including Memory Strategies (MSs)…

The researchers examined the relationship between informal digital gameplay and learner profiles in two Japanese private universities. Seventy-eight participants responded to 59 items on a digital questionnaire that consisted of four sections: 1) Learner Profiles, 2) Digital Game Usage, 3) Open-Responses, and 4) Demographics. The results of the…

For individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have limited to no vocal speech abilities, mobile augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology provides opportunities for communication with those around them. Interventionists can incorporate evidence-based practices into AAC instruction to heighten the efficacy of its…

Digital educational game-based apps can be effective in helping young children develop language skills, particularly when paired with formal instruction. However, we need to know more about how educational games benefit learning in the absence of formal instruction, given children's proficiency with and willingness to use mobile devices anytime,…

Smartphones working like a computer are much more than just classic mobile or cell phones used to communicate as they offer all the possibilities of computer and internet technology in our palms. By means of features they have and new applications developed every day, smartphones are used for a wide variety of purposes including but not limited to…

Word stress is frequently afforded secondary importance in English teaching as stress placement rules are complex and because stress can be learnt along with each new word. However, training learners to pay more attention to word stress cues can support them in predicting the stress patterns of new vocabulary. Also, for speakers of fixed stress…

Background: Digital storytelling combines traditional storytelling with digital technologies. Although recognised as a powerful creative method across many domains, its application in the context of widening participation remains underexplored. Purpose: This study from Australia sought to investigate teachers' perceptions of the benefits and…

This article reports on a national study, "Re-imaging the Future: Music Teaching and Learning, and ICT in Blended Environments in Australia," which examined music educators' engagement with technologies and pedagogies during the pandemic. Data were collected via online survey (N = 105) between March and April 2021 and thematically…

Smartphones might offer an extension of our own cognitive abilities, potentially preventing practice of certain forms of cognition. Our first study established that heavier usage of smartphones was negatively correlated with social problem solving and delayed gratification, as well as positively correlated with some aspects of critical thinking.…

Mobile learning application developers have to overcome inherent limitations imposed by mobile devices in order to produce usable applications. There are usability guidelines available to assist in the design process but with technological improvements, these guidelines should be updated and extended. In this research, we proposed an updated…

The Metapendulum is a combination of both the simple gravity pendulum and the spring pendulum. Both excite each another and, therefore, can be used as an example of mechanical resonance phenomena. The data of a smartphone's accelerometer can be used to record the acceleration of the pendulum during the oscillation movement. With that, the…

Mobile learning adoption is an active area of research. This paper aims to contribute to better understanding of mobile learning adoption by providing a body of knowledge to aid researchers working in this field. The applied method is systematic review of commonly used databases based on the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham ("Keele, UK,…

Mobile learning has become one of the more influential aspects in the field of educational technology given the ubiquity of modern mobile devices and proliferation of educational applications or 'apps' for mobile devices. Within this special issue, there are a range of studies and reviews which cover a breadth of current topics in the field,…
