The predictive correlational quantitative research study aimed to examine the effectiveness of existing Information System (IS) Tools, such as e-learning tools, in U.S. high schools, highlighting the gap between the notable performance of these IS tools and the definite educational outcomes they deliver, explicitly focusing on educators. Employing…

Educational institutions increasingly rely on educational technology to deliver academic experiences, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. This study focused on graduate students' attitudes about online privacy specific to use of technology for educational purposes. Students who participated were all current students at a university in the…

This dissertation is a multiple-case study that examines educators' perspectives and applications in learning technologies, multicultural education, and how they intersect to support digital equity. Technology is evolving and has become essential in a learning environment (e.g., Graham et al., 2019; Gronseth et al., 2020; Howard et al., 2018). As…

As university faculty must continually grow in their instructional skills and proficiencies with new tools to remain relevant to the educational needs of their students, effective models of professional learning and development are important areas of need and topics for research. However, many outdated professional development models do not create…

Myths are universal narratives linked to objects, shaping social and personal identities. Technologies generate modern myths, influencing choices and impacting our lives. The present study focuses on EdTech myths. From a qualitative methodological approach based on codesign, five relevant EdTech myths are identified. Subsequently, the analysis was…

A survey of 21 free online buffer calculators and apps found only 2 that correctly calculated pH under conditions where [H[superscript +]] and [OH[superscript -]] cannot be ignored in the ratio term of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Traditional guidelines for when use of formal concentrations is acceptable were found to be flawed. For acidic…

This article is an excerpt from a master's thesis developed in Brazil, in which we approach recurrent and linear sequences, given some intriguing particularities in their definitions and the scarcity of discussion of this topic in the literature of the History of Mathematics, especially with regard to its geometric representation. Thus, we aim to…

In a world driven by constant change and innovation, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are undergoing a rapid transformation, often driven by external factors such as emerging technologies. One of the key drivers affecting the design and development of educational delivery mechanisms in HEIs is the fast pace of educational technology…

Skilled orators and their public speaking skills have been held in high esteem since antiquity. Artificial intelligence-powered presentation platforms (AI-PPPs) are an emerging educational technology that provides a virtual venue and AI audience for users to practice a presentation or pitch and receive feedback to improve their public speaking…

A body of research that investigates the social, cognitive and emotional effects of digital technologies on the development of children reports that digital technologies are limiting activities that connect children with people. On the other hand, there is a great amount of research on the positive role of digital play. However, digital games per…

This paper describes a framework for making explicit the design decisions in the development of immersive and interactive STEM learning technologies. This framework consists of three components: (1) "visual viewpoint," the location from which a visual simulation depicts observable components; (2) "embodied interaction," the…

Rain Classroom, as a mobile app designed and developed by Tsinghua University, has been catching increasingly intense attention since her birth in 2016. Her usability has, however, seldom been explored. The purpose of this study is to compare the usability of Rain Classroom assisted learning with other learning approaches. A mixed design was…

Teaching educational robotics is of growing interest in K-12 settings. Yet, immense efforts are needed to move the field forward by framing the teaching of robotics with pedagogically sound theories as well as appropriate instructional design models and strategies. To meet this need, the authors designed and implemented an online educational…

Although the adoption rate for online teaching and learning is on the rise, qualitative studies to unearth factors that facilitate or inhibit its adoption, particularly from the perspectives of both lecturers and students have received limited scholarly attention. The study conducted focus group discussions and interviews to collect data from the…

This study aims to provide recommendations for interaction design to enhance students' task interpretation, as one of the crucial aspects of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) in online learning environments. Utilizing the Engineering Design Metacognitive Questionnaire (EDMQ), open-ended questions, and in-depth interviews, this study examines the…
