Prospective teachers and cryptography students use programming, statistics and guile to enrich both their courses.

The established mobile learning paradigm is now two decades old; it grew out of the visions and resources of e-learning research communities in universities in the world's more economically developed regions. Whilst it has clearly been able to demonstrate many practical, pedagogic and conceptual achievements, it is now running out of steam. It has…

Many researchers have explored instructional use of information communication technology (ICT) in higher education and uncovered several factors that affect its application in teaching. The effect of age on university teachers' ICT use, however, has attracted much less attention. This study uses quantitative data from a survey of 401 teachers from…

Technology education varies across countries depending on the goals they set to achieve. Therefore, comparative research on different technology education approaches can provide a holistic perspective and contribute to the literature. This paper compared the technology-focused courses offered by primary schools in Turkey and Scotland. A…

Supersonic free-fall jumps are excellent examples of kinematics in the context of drag. They have attracted a lot of media, public, and scientific interest. In 2012, Felix Baumgartner jumped from a height of approximately 38.969 km. During his flight he reached a top speed of 373 m/s, becoming the first human to travel faster than the speed of…

Information and Communication Technology specialists, working within universities play important roles in the deployment of educational technologies for teaching and learning. Given the centrality of these specialists and the woeful dearth of empirics on this subject-matter in Sub-Saharan Africa, this paper interrogates the perspectives of ICT…

At a Western Pacific Region school district with six public high schools, district administrators implemented an educational technology training program (ETTP) to improve technology integration in the classroom as measured by the Effective Learning Environments Observation Tool, but there was no follow-up to determine how the teachers perceived…

Second language confidence (L2C) is considered a central component in language learning as it can affect the processes and outcomes of second language acquisition (Dornyei, 2005). According to the functional model proposed by Sampasivam and Clement (2014), the two determinants that build towards L2C are "self-involvement" and…

This dissertation employs the use of primary research, oral history, and narrative and auto-ethnography of my own experiences as a hybrid educator across both systems, and the extant gaps in educational technology, or ed tech, implementation across two of the largest urban public education institutions in the country: the New York City Department…

This case study reports on two student-staff partnership projects at Cardiff University that explored the student experience of using lecture capture technologies. We describe the background to these projects, how they were designed, and how students and staff worked together to gain insights into the student experience. The case study…

The article is devoted to the formation of a strategy for the digitalization of education in present-date conditions. It is established that the very structure of training and the organization of the educational process change fundamentally in the course of digitalization. These changes will require both the selection of material for creating…

At Wichita State University (WSU), the Instructional Design and Access (IDA) office supports faculty with instructional design, educational technology, faculty training, and accessibility needs. The university uses Blackboard as its Learning Management System (LMS), and the IDA team members are administrators of this LMS. The IDA team also…

Most countries attempt to catch up with technological progress and digitise their educational environment, but still there are few teachers that integrate ICT in education adequately. Several factors may hinder this process, whose exploration is important because only after learning about these barriers can efficient counteractions be taken. One…

In Malaysia, the new teaching model of a flipped classroom is emerging in higher education with the aim of promoting student-centred learning. Hence the main purpose of this study is to identify the students' acceptance level, their perceptions, and the impact of their initial exposures to the flipped classroom model. With this in mind, a survey…

Students' usage of lecture recordings can be characterised by usage frequency, repetitiveness and selectivity in watching, lecture attendance, and social context and location in which students watch the lecture recordings. At the University of Münster (Germany), the lecture recording service was evaluated over three semesters. The data were…
