Assessing the degree to which students engage and learn from their online courses will be important as online courses are becoming more ubiquitous. This study sought to capture student perceptions of their independence as learners, their level of engagement, their effort exerted, and the amount of information they learned in online courses. The…

Elearning has become an important and ubiquitous instructional tool across a broad range of programs in institutions of higher education. This is evident today in nursing education where elearning in a blended approach provides both enormous and flexible opportunities for working nurses to further their education and to engage in continuous…

The rate of transition to online instruction in higher education was accelerated by the new reality of the global pandemic, COVID-19. As a result, faculty must adapt by being more efficient to manage more students with less resources and even less personal contact for the foreseeable future. Efficiency can be gained by using group assignments and…

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to address the research questions on: (1) what factors can significantly influence student learning in remote classes during the COVID-19 pandemic? and (2) what are the gender differences, if any, in this context? To do this, the authors developed a research model from the switching costs (defined as the time…

It is known that the huge computing resources of modern computers are used primarily to solve problems that arise in various applied areas in the process of mathematical modeling of real objects. The aim of this study is to present a theoretical justification of the need to train informatics future teacher in the field of computational informatics…

360° video offers a valuable tool for bridging the divide between coursework and fieldwork during pre-service teacher (PST) internships. The purpose of this study was to explore the usefulness of 360° video integration into the scaffolding of PST education. Quantitative feedback from 82 student teachers during a teacher education course showed a…

Classroom instruction focused on discussion-based learning opportunities can provide productive and inclusive learning experiences for all students, including students with learning disabilities in mathematics and those without learning disabilities. Mathematical discourse allows students to share their ideas, justify their thinking, critique the…

In order to promote the practice of co-creation, a real-time collaboration (RTC) version of the popular block-based programming (BBP) learning environment, MIT App Inventor (MAI), was proposed and implemented. RTC overcomes challenges related to non-collocated group work, thus lowering barriers to cross-region and multi-user collaborative software…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the various models concerned with identifying learning styles and cognitive traits of students as a means to adapt teaching methods. With attention to the applicability of the models to on-line teaching strategies and requirements. Design/Method/Approach: The approach adopted in this paper is one of…

A digital learning-teaching environment is introduced in which undergraduate students are challenged to connect the basic physical concepts of oscillation, buoyancy and data analysis via an authentic experiment. The damped oscillation of a cylindrical body swimming upright in water is measured via the MEMS acceleration sensor of a wireless MCU…

How does platformization work as vehicle for the integration of public online education into a private global digital infrastructure? And how can education technologies ('edtech') be governed at various levels to benefit the public good? In this article, we examine online environments in primary schools in The Netherlands, a traditionally strong…

This short reflection piece seeks to examine the importance of online feedback in light of higher education student experiences during times of COVID-19. In doing so, it seeks to address how online approaches need to be harnessed further to minimise experiences of "missing out" of education. The review summarises key advantages provided…

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to be negatively effective in many areas of life. It has also affected the face-to-face education of 2020 fall semester. In Turkey, Students who have recently entered the university in 2020 started their undergraduate education with distance education like upper grade students. However, the fact that the first…

This study compared the effects of support for peer feedback, peer feedforward and their combination on students' peer learning processes, argumentative essay quality and domain-specific learning. Participants were 86 BSc students who were randomly divided over 43 dyads. These dyads, in a two-factorial experimental design, were assigned to four…

Creativity has emerged as an important 21st-century competency. Although it is traditionally associated with arts and literature, it can also be developed as part of computing education. Therefore, this article presents a systematic mapping of approaches for assessing creativity based on the analysis of computer programs created by the students.…
