Undergraduate research initiatives such as mentoring programs, conferences, and journals typically focus on the later stages of undergraduate studies. It is not unusual for a student to reach the final year of their program without developing their awareness of research within their discipline or their institution. SUREbyts is a project that…

The research aimed to 1) develop a learning package for the living of the elderly, 2) assess the quality of the developed learning package, 3) assess the technology acceptance of the developed learning package, and 4) find out the elderly's satisfaction towards the developed learning package. The learning package was developed following the 5-step…

Scholarly web-based application programming interfaces (APIs) allow users to interact with information and data programmatically. Interacting with information programmatically allows users to create advanced information query workflows and quickly access machine-readable data for downstream computations.

This paper describes a Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) design approach for developing learning analytics (LA) dashboards for K-12 classrooms that maintain both contextual relevance and scalability--two goals that are often in competition. Using mixed methods, we collected observational and interview data from teacher partners and…

The aim of this study is to design various instructional materials to teach biological systems in a 'Systems in Our Body' unit to 6th grade students with visual impairment (SVI) and to evaluate the effectiveness of these materials. In the study, a design-based research model was used. In the first stage, individual learning needs of SVI and their…

This research was conducted for two purposes: (1) to describe the process of the design and development of English materials for conversation practices based on the sociolinguistic contexts for Grade X students at Islamic Senior High School Students (ISHS), and (2) to analyze the usability level of the product of materials' development for the…
