We explore the relationship between video playback speed and student learning outcomes. Using an experimental design, we present the results of a pre-registered study that assigns users to watch videos at either 1.0x or 1.25x speed. We find that students who consume sped content are more likely to get better grades in a course, attempt more…

This reflective practice contribution presents the lessons learned from teaching plant design using an online flipped format to a small cohort of students in the first COVID-19 semester. These lessons were applied to the online teaching of the capstone design course to a full-sized cohort. The impact of the implemented recommendations on the…

The purpose of this study is to explore a variety of technologies used in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) education by examining published studies. A systematic literature review was conducted by using the Web of Science database to collect related studies. In total, 100 studies were reviewed comprehensively to investigate the trend regarding type…

Interest continues to be high in technology-based interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Understanding the preferences and challenges of technology use among individuals with ASD can inform the design of such interventions.

Design-based learning (DBL) enables 21st-century skills to be gained through design-oriented production processes. Jonassen's "Designing Constructivist Learning Environments framework" (CLEs) is a suitable model for designing a DBL environment. In such learning environments, students must have a certain level of information and…

Learning management systems (LMSs) have been widely adopted in K-12 and higher education to support online and blended learning (Black et al. 2007; Graham 2005). One relatively new and untested LMS is Google Classroom, which has received widespread adoption in K-12 learning, but not in higher education (Fenton 2017; Hill 2018). In the current…

Technology-enhanced teaching approaches are becoming increasingly common in higher education. One of these approaches, "Lecture Capture" (LC), is a tool which can be simply defined as audio and video recordings of classroom-based activities. Although the use of LC is increasing in higher education, its impact on teaching and learning,…

Summarizing the results of the theoretical and experimental research confirmed the probability of the leading principles of the general and partial hypotheses, proved the effectiveness of solving the set tasks and made it possible to formulate the conclusions. The pedagogical system of development of professional competence of Masters-translators…

COVID-19 has rendered education "remote", opening a chasm in space and time between teachers and students, between how teaching and learning was practiced "before" and how it is practiced now and for the foreseeable, uncertain future. As many educators find themselves both locked in and locked out, this article seeks to sort…
