YouTube has become a global platform for learning and teaching. Its design as a social medium, its rapidly growing content and the obscurity of its search and recommendation system, however, frequently leave users with suboptimal results. Trying to give guidance, many professional websites started to publish ranked lists of educational channels.…

In differential equations textbooks, the motion of a simple pendulum for small-amplitude oscillations is analyzed. This is due to the impossibility of expressing, in terms of simple elementary functions, the solutions of the nonlinear differential equation (NLDE) that models the pendulum, which is why the authors usually choose the linearized…

The application of virtual reality (VR) technologies is beneficial to the training related to industrial processes. Mainly because the technologies allow training complex threatening tasks within a safe environment. The interactive three-dimensional (3D) representation of a real world seems to be a more effective learning medium than other…

Class orchestration with technology is gaining attention in managing multiple learning activities at multiple levels in the past decade. However, there is hardly a holistic picture of the research about class orchestration with technology. To understand how class orchestration with technology could help pedagogical practices, this review article…

Incorporation of increased flexibility and adaptivity in courses can support freshmen with taking responsibility for their learning process. This is especially beneficial in the case of chemistry courses given their typically abstract nature and associated need for engaging in practice and higher order thinking. Blended learning can be used to…

As the pandemic subsides in the United States and parts of the country edge toward normalcy, NACAC professionals believe that virtual recruitment resources that colleges invested much effort in developing will not vanish. They say that virtual recruitment will have long-lasting staying power as a supplement to in-person recruitment. This article…

In this article, we examine spatial inscriptions marked in real or rendered spaces, rather than on two-dimensional surfaces, conceptualize spatial inscriptions from an inclusive materialist perspective and consider realizations of spatial inscriptions that are possible with emerging technologies (e.g. 3D pens, immersive virtual reality). We then…

This research aimed to evaluate the school administrators' and teachers' views about the use of social media at schools as a new platform in organizational communication. Phenomenology, a qualitative research model, was used in the research. A total of 17 participants who were included in the research (school administrators and teachers) were…

Preservice teachers (PSTs) often demonstrate difficulty learning to attend to content-specific student actions in-the-moment. However, machine learning algorithms applied to PSTs' viewing of 360 videos provides a potentially useful tool for teacher educators. In this paper, we describe the initial development of such a tool and the implications…

This piece looks at the use of Twitter to share good practice among education professionals responding to the so-called 'pivot online': the sudden shift to online learning necessitated by the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic. It presents a general overview on how Twitter provided a source of advice, ideas, and resources and how teachers shared…

E-learning, knowledge sharing, design thinking education and design driven innovation innovation are all key elements of this case study. The E-learning platform about Design Thinking is born as a result of the growing pervasiveness of this approach to innovation in different application contexts: from strategic consulting to digital…

There is a lack of sufficient, in-depth understanding on how secondary teachers are experiencing m-learning tools in secondary classrooms. This qualitative research explored the impact of the m-learning tools on teachers in secondary classrooms. The framework that guided this study included the following theories: appraisal theory and…

Online education continues to grow exponentially, yet faculty acceptance of online teaching and learning has not. Decades of qualitative study indicate that a majority of faculty continue to regard online education as inferior to traditional classroom learning (Butler & Sellbom, 2002; Wilson & Stacey, 2004; Lloyd, et al., 2012; Ubell,…

The purpose of this qualitative case study research was to explore the multifaceted motivations, perceptions and attitudes that influence digital literacy practices in a small group of study abroad faculty and how professional development can help inspire them to act to innovate their digital literacy practices within a study abroad context. The…

Best practices for video-assisted debriefing (VAD) technology use cannot be developed because the characteristics of VAD that lead to successful debriefing have not been identified. The purpose of this qualitative, multiple-case study with embedded units sought to employ observation, participant interviews, and documentation review in exploring…
