This book brings together a team of leading international scholars to explore the rich inter-section of technology and second language (L2) learning and teaching. This innovative volume offers a unique blend of cutting-edge empirical research, pedagogy-informed perspectives, and practical applications for educators, administrators, and researchers…

The article discusses the students' perceptions of the benefits and challenges of using multimodality, such as the linguistic, visual, and gestural aspects of speaking. Grounded within the framework of multimodality as a social semiotic approach (Kress et al., 2014), the study employed a qualitative case study method. Forty students of the English…

This study assesses the quality of teacher preparation program implementation focusing on the mediating role of college-based capacities in the relationship with technology integration in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region of Ethiopia. A quantitative methods design employed, utilizing cross-sectional surveys with 294…

In this paper, we examine learning experiences of 11 students in Ghana who were taught mathematics in the English language high school system and who thereafter did not attain the pass mark in their national final mathematics exam. They however went on to pass this exam after using an app that teaches mathematics in Ghanaian languages. We view our…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the futuristic visions of PhD students at Distance Education department of Anadolu University on the use of learning analytics (LA) and mobile technologies together. Design/methodology/approach: This qualitative research study, designed in the single cross-section model, aimed to reveal futuristic visions of…

The present study aimed to evaluate the transformation supported with digital contents and skills in the field of education in terms of its strong aspects, weaknesses, the related opportunities and suggestions from the perspectives of teachers within the context of 2023 Education Vision. In the study, the case study method, one of qualitative…

Integrating education practices and measurements of brain activity has the potential to make learning more engaging and productive. Direct recordings of electrical activity in the brain provide important information about the complex dynamics of the cognitive processes and mental states that occur during learning, which can ultimately empower…

A measure of similarity of educational items has many applications in adaptive learning systems and can be useful also for teachers and content creators. We provide a thorough overview of approaches for measuring item similarity. We document the computation pipeline, explicitly highlighting many choices that have to be made in order to quantify…

In the April 2018 issue of "TPT," Joseph Amato presented an analysis of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) trajectories as applied to recent test launches from North Korea. Using properties of their elliptical paths, he derived relationships between launch velocity, elevation angle, and maximum range. However, this approach cannot…

Mobile applications are suitable as a structural possibility for students beginning their studies. Using the app "Reflect.UP," students are encouraged to reflect on the organization, contents, and objectives of their studies. This article focuses on how students can acquire the academic ability to consider their own actions, which is an…

In this work, we theorise the role of the educational technologist in an educational institution as a "variety-handler". That is, we theorise the educational technologist as responsible for the orchestration of educational and technical resources, namely tools, either to attenuate systemic variety or amplify regulative variety at a…

The separation of suspensions and immiscible liquids by the laboratory centrifuge is widely used in such fields as chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and clinical medicine. In this paper, an Arduino-based microcentrifuge was fabricated using a computer DVD (digital versatile disc) drive. The hardware part consisted of inexpensive mechanical and…

E-textbooks have become more popular with college students, but there are concerns that reading is not as effective from screens as paper. In addition, students may not take advantage of tools afforded by e-textbooks. The purpose of this study was to determine if encouraging students to read from paper or modeling e-textbook tools would be better…

Creating meaningful and engaging online learning experiences is a challenge in graduate preparation programs. In student affairs, the number of online master's degree programs has increased from 6 in 2010 (Connolly & Diepenbrock, 2011) to over 40 fully online programs currently (T. Svoboda, personal communication, January 3, 2019). The…

This paper describes a French research project to co-design an early literacy/early numeracy tablet app for kindergarten students. In order to create an app that takes into account classroom/teaching constraints and the results of recent research, we adopted a theoretical co-design framework and followed a methodology involving researchers,…
