The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has created an unprecedented opportunity for innovation across industries, but its complexity often presents a steep learning curve for many (Roberts & Candi, 2024; Gunner, 2025). This highlights the need for user-friendly tools that bridge the gap between AI's potential and its practical…

Phone usage in the classroom has been linked to worsened academic outcomes. We present findings from a field experiment conducted at a large public university in partnership with an app marketed as a soft commitment device that provides incentives to reduce phone use in the classroom. We find that app usage led to improvements in classroom focus,…

The first two years of undergraduate medical education include foundational science and clinical training such as accurately interpreting electrocardiograms (ECGs). ECG education is traditionally delivered via lecture-based presentations in a formal classroom setting. However, students are increasingly finding mobile apps to be instructive to use…

With the increasing use of mobile applications for educational purposes among university students, enhancing the efficiency of mobile instruction and learning is a key concern in higher education. It is, therefore, necessary to explore students' mobile learning habits and to identify the factors that influence their mobile learning to further…

The objective of our project was to develop a smartphone app for administering shorter ("modular") surveys. Given the paucity of research on this topic, we decided to use "co-design" techniques to generate design solutions. To implement these techniques, we recruited respondents in the survey target population to work in small…

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to understand current research on the utilization of mobile health (mHealth) technologies for college students with disabilities. Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis to understand the longitudinal research trends and dominant topics in mHealth research for college students. Next, we performed a…

Many universities utilized a reactive, piecemeal approach to adapt and rapidly reopen schools at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although schools were able to resume classes online relatively quickly, there was limited time to explore best practices for an optimal online learning environment. The pandemic exposed significant issues in the…

While GeoGebra applets have been extensively investigated in learning environments, few studies have addressed the interactive GeoGebra applets in an e-book-based learning environment. This study aims to compare the effects of the e-book created with interactive GeoGebra applets on students' learning achievement and motivation. The sample of the…

Mobile technologies have become significant in various facets of our daily lives, including education. This study sought to determine faculty perspectives on the use of mobile technologies in higher education institutions (HEIs) and determine the capabilities of these technologies. Data were collected from a random sample of 40 faculty members…

The integration of digital technology into various sectors has transformed education globally, yet its adoption in Nigeria remains constrained by a lack of adequately trained personnel. This study addresses this gap by developing a Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) for teaching Robotics Programming to preservice teachers. A Research…

In this study, an interactive science learning app on the topic of plate tectonics was developed for tablets to promote argumentative reasoning. The app guided learners through learning stages that required them to propose arguments, identify relevant evidence, acquire background knowledge, and engage in argumentative reasoning in different…

This study investigated the impacts of a design-based professional development (DBPD) training program on English language teacher educators' (ELTEs') integration of Google Apps into course instruction at Jimma College of Teacher Education, Ethiopia. Using a mixed-method case study design, the study examined ELTEs' pre-training digital literacy…

Digital nudging is a subtle technique used to guide individuals' behaviors and influence their decision-making processes in online environments. This study highlights the critical role of digital nudging in enhancing the educational experiences of students in distance learning settings. It suggests that digital nudges can mitigate some of the…

The surge in technology adoption has transformed students into 'digital natives' who require innovative teaching methods to enhance their engagement and learning. This paper investigates the impact of integrating QuickBooks®, an accounting mobile app, on students' learning, engagement, and interest in the course. It utilizes a survey questionnaire…

Objective: To determine if using the Snackability app improves snack intake among college students. Participants: US college students with overweight/obesity were recruited in June 2020-April 2021. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the Snackability app use for 12 wk on snack scores (calculated from the app) compared to…
