Understanding the transitions among affective states during computer-based learning may guide the design of affect-responsive learning environments. Current studies have focused on the marginal strength of an affect transition, which is the average transition tendency over possible affective states preceding the transition. However, marginal…

This article investigates the potential mathematical learning opportunities arising from a digital activity designed to enhance students' comprehension of equations. Employing a commognitive-oriented lens, the analysis explores the potential mathematical discourses that could emerge from students' interactions with a digital scale inspired by the…

Recognizing that online teaching and learning is placed within an environment where neither the teacher nor the student has complete-control is the first step to actioning capabilities towards a humanized environment. The tool that is typically used in higher education, the learning management system (LMS), has a design that constrains learning…

The previous expansion of EdTech as a substitute for traditional learning around the world, the recent full-scale substitution due to COVID-19, and potential future shifts to blended approaches suggest that it is imperative to understand input substitutability between in-person and online learning. We explore input substitutability in education by…

The pandemic has forced Indian dance communities to pivot to online mediums. I investigate pandemic-induced shifts in two ways. I theorize through "Chhapaka" (a sling-shot movement involving oppositions of footwork and torso articulations) of my dancing Odissi (an eastern Indian traditional form) body, providing an embodied metaphor of…

Honors education was never intended to be a virtual offering; it takes intimate, three-dimensional, communal, and intellectual interaction among faculty and students to tackle wicked problems. The COVID-19 crisis forced honors educators into an extreme reboot, extracting courses from comfortable working spaces and relocating them to strange new…

This paper explores the use of cameras and video recordings in educational contexts, employing the concepts of Panopticon, Synopticon, and Omniopticon as analytical frameworks. After discussing these three concepts as different models of power, we analyse how they encompass a range of distinctive approaches to leveraging cameras in educational…

In this paper, we describe a teaching scenario using a virtual environment (known also in the context of the 'metaverse'). This is motivated by the challenges that arise during the pandemic. More and more teaching scenarios are transferred to online learning settings, which allow learning at any time and at any time. One of the possibilities are…

The different technology fields have increased in complexity, especially during the last two decades, giving place to the concept of Complex Technology. An example is Electronics also characterised as a horizontal technology being incorporated in many products and processes of other technological areas. Bloom's taxonomy of learning objectives and…

This review surveys and synthesizes the findings of 87 focal pieces, published primarily since 2009 and mid 2018, on the formal and informal use of social media--blogs, wikis, and social networking--for second and foreign language teaching and learning (L2TL), including studies on the use of educational sites like Livemocha and Busuu and…

Grammarly's Tone Detector is included in the free version of the application and is available for major phone and computer program platforms. Its strength is in helping students compose pragmatically appropriate texts which could substantially increase their confidence and the feeling of autonomy. It accomplishes this by providing writers with…

This paper reviews 12 research-based principles for how to design computer-based multimedia instructional materials to promote academic learning, starting with the multimedia principle (yielding a median effect size of d = 1.67 based on five experimental comparisons), which holds that people learn better from computer-based instruction containing…

The analysis of "group practices" can make visible the work of novices learning how to inquire in science or mathematics. These ubiquitous practices are invisibly taken for granted by adults, but can be observed and rigorously studied in adequate traces of online collaborative learning. Such an approach contrasts with traditional…

The advent of the social web brought with it challenges and opportunities for research on learning and knowledge construction. Using the online-encyclopedia Wikipedia as an example, we discuss several methods that can be applied to analyze the dynamic nature of knowledge-related processes in mass collaboration environments. These methods can help…

Since the 1960s-1970s, the implementation of Computer-Assisted Language Learning concept has contributed to the progress made on Foreign Language Learning (FLL) in numerous ways. It has enabled the teachers and language learners to enrich the language learning process with improved interactivity with certain learning materials and gave rise to…
