Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been used extensively for diagnosis of various diseases and conditions because they are inexpensive, rapid, robust, and easy to use. Incorporating LFAs into undergraduate chemistry courses could enrich the curricula by providing the students with a real-world application of analytical chemistry concepts,…

E-learning has become an increasingly popular mode of teaching college students, including students in the field of kinesiology. With the rise of e-learning, it is important to examine and understand specific components of online learning, such as educational podcasts. Educational podcasts are podcasts that are developed specifically for learning…

In physics lessons at secondary school and experimental physics courses at universities, the magnetic field inside a current-carrying solenoid is considered quantitatively. The corresponding equations and theories are supported by measuring the magnetic flux density inside the solenoid with a Hall probe. It has already been shown that smartphones…

Through a semi-structured survey of mobile journalists (N = 433), the study investigated mobile journalists' learning needs and learner experiences related to their digital skills development with smartphones. Results indicate that not only novice journalism students but also experienced educators, professionals, or mass communication and media…

In this study we investigated the relationships between nomophobia, psychological resilience, and mindfulness using a covariance-based structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis and examined the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between mindfulness and nomophobia. The sample comprised 300 Turkish adolescents between…

This paper uses Individual Deprivation Measure data from Indonesia and South Africa to demonstrate the effects of coverage bias associated with mobile phone-based sampling and data collection approaches that restrict sampling frames to those who own or have access to a mobile phone -- a increasingly common method. Analysis of this data…

Purpose: This study aims to contribute to literature on mobile learning (m-learning) by proposing four research clusters whereby scholars can expand m-learning research to facilitate effective learning experiences for students. Design/methodology/approach: This study reviews student-centric literature on m-learning since 2010 and presents insights…

The main objective of this study was to investigate the level of cyberloafing and nomophobia among university students. The study also aimed to assess the level of cyberloafing and nomophobia among university students in relation to various variables. Data were collected using demographic information form, a cyberloafing scale and a nomophobia…

This study aims to determine the predictors of cyberloafing behaviors of university students. In this context, we examined the effects of smartphone and internet addiction variables on cyberloafing levels. Besides, the mediator effect of internet addiction was determined in the impact of smartphone addiction on cyberloafing. We conducted the…

This study investigated whether reflective class feedback (RCF) boosts the effectiveness of mobile gamified quizzing in enhancing active learning in higher education. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent group design was adopted in this study to measure the effect of mobile gamified quizzing with and without RCF on students' achievement. Two intact…

Since the introduction of a Bring Your Own iPad scheme in the Middle Years section of a large International School, concerns have been raised from school community members regarding students' overuse of their devices, especially during lunch breaks. Hence, the device free lunch break (DFLB) programme was introduced with the aim of reinforcing…

This research examines the relationship between phubbing (sociotelism) and continuous anger and anger expression styles. In addition, it aims to search whether there is a significant difference between phubbing and continuous anger and anger expression styles according to some demographic information of the sample. This research is a quantitative…

New media formats such as podcasts are revolutionizing the production and dissemination of knowledge in and outside of higher education. One danger is the rise of EdTech companies that have used the pandemic as an opportunity to increase profits as more individuals and systems of higher education rely on digital platforms and products. This report…

In this laboratory experiment, students modify a series of surfaces and explore the effects of varying surface chemistry and texture on wettability by different probe liquids. Students begin by building a simple contact angle goniometer utilizing their mobile phone cameras. Next, they contrast the wettability of planar glass substrates…

Objective: Examine how changes in sleep duration, objectively measured by activity trackers, impact weight gain in incoming college freshman. Participants: Incoming college freshmen, age [greater than equal to] 18. Methods: We measured weight and daily sleep duration before college entry and through the 1st college quarter. Additionally, we…
