With the rapid growth of digital education, e-learning has become essential for offering accessible and flexible learning opportunities. This paper investigates strategies to achieve long-term learning outcomes and reduce study time in e-learning. It explores various techniques, including self-testing, spaced repetition, and the serial position…

The use of e-gadgets for instructional practices, learning processes, and bridging transactional distance between higher-educational institutions and students remain complex and contested phenomena in educational research. However, studies that were grounded on the mixture of the Replace-Amplify-Transform (RAT) model and Acceptance and Use of…

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.…

Resistor-capacitor (RC) circuits are a popular topic for both theoretical discussion and experimental investigation in introductory physics. This article presents a novel approach to studying such circuits using a piezoelectric buzzer. A capacitor is discharged through a resistor and the buzzer, and the intensity of the sound produced by the…

The present study examined effects of providing varied reinforcement versus constant reinforcement using an iPad and applications (apps). Participants included three typically developing children in a school setting. We conducted a preference assessment to identify highly preferred and moderately preferred apps. We then conducted a concurrent…

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,…

The intrusion of internet-enabled electronic devices (laptop, tablet, and cell phone) has transformed the modern college lecture into a divided attention task. This study measured the effect of using an electronic device for a non-academic purpose during class on subsequent exam performance. In a two-section college course, electronic devices were…

Dual-frame, random-digit-dialing (DFRDD) surveys, using a frame of landline telephone numbers and a frame of cell phone numbers, have become the norm for telephone surveys. Two alternative frame constructions sample exclusively from a cell phone frame, referred to as the 'single-frame cell,' and sample from the listed landline frame and the cell…

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,…

In this deeply insightful work, nationally renowned bullying expert Elizabeth Kandel Englander offers sensible perspectives on student social behavior and equips educators and parents with effective strategies to identify and address bullying. This second edition of "Bullying and Cyberbullying" reveals how enormous social changes,…

This study aimed to explore whether educated Arabs prefer to read paper or digital materials and which reading technologies and applications they use. The sample consisted of 272 educated Arabs (81% males and 19% females) who are Twitter users, who gave 437 responses to questions, hashtags and threads asking, "which digital media and digital…

This study explored the relationship between social interaction anxiety (SIA) and problematic smartphone use (PSU) among Chinese adolescents. Further, the roles of online basic psychological needs satisfaction (online BPNS), nature connectedness (NC), and related differences between urban and rural adolescents were examined. We recruited 840…

This study replicates the research conducted by Pérez-Paredes, Ordoñana Guillamón and Aguado Jiménez (2018) on language teachers' perceptions on the use of OER language processing technologies in mobile-assisted language learning. It expands the initial research study by adding Polish, Portuguese, and Turkish educational contexts, surveying 239…
