This study aimed to utilise artificial intelligence (AI) tools to create animations to assess the impact of AI-created cartoons on vocabulary growth and motivation levels among learners. For this purpose, 80 Omani EFL learners with a pre-intermediate level of English proficiency were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group, each…

Today, accounting graduates are expected to possess critical analysis attributes beyond good accounting discipline knowledge. The close-knit relationships among accounting theory, accounting research and accounting practice have also implied that the teaching of accounting theory needs to include the teaching of business research to produce…

The field of deaf education lacks rigorous research that supports any singular instructional practice (Luckner, Sebold, Cooney, Young III, & Muir 2005/2006; Easterbrooks & Stephenson, 2012).

There are a multitude of diverse technologies available for integration in the college classroom, but considering how to implement these initiatives can be overwhelming to the instructor. The adaptation of this technology is often very simple and involves little more than the Internet and basic word processing skills. A review of the multimedia…

Many students have difficulty in learning abstract and complex lessons of chemistry. This study investigated how students develop their understandings of abstract and complex lessons in chemistry with the aid of visualizing tools: animation, simulation and video that allow them to build clear concepts. Animation, simulation and video enable…
