This study reports 15 types of activities that EFL, linguistics and translation instructors at a sample of Saudi universities used in distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Examples include searching for linguistic and translation key terms and concepts, problem-solving questions, online debates, summarizing a research paper, attending a…

The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…

In order to explore whether STEAM education in combination with elementary school curriculums can help students' learning performance, this study developed a digital learning system. This digital learning system combined STEAM concepts with elements of gamebased learning. This study developed the curriculum content based on the unit of…

In this study, we explored the ways in which listening tools within technology-mediated environments can facilitate children's self-regulation of instrumental music learning between lessons. This interpretive multiple case study utilized a software application assigned for 22 weeks to a piano teacher and four students (ages 8-10). Data sources…

Computer simulation and animation (CSA) is educational technology in which computer programs are employed to simulate and animate real-world physical phenomena and processes. CSA has attracted growing attention and received an increasing number of applications in the international science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education…

Due the wideness of the term Physical Computing, there is a need for a better structure of this topic. This paper is about an approach of structuring this field by finding attributes of different physical computing devices which can be used in class. Those attributes are meant to enforce teachers as well as researchers to analyze different devices…

The integration of ChatGPT in Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) has emerged as a promising approach to personalized learning in tertiary education. ChatGPT is believed to have the potential to transform traditional higher education into a more personalized, quality-driven, and student-centered learning experience that fosters critical…

Valid proofs need not be in the traditional two-column format. This classroom activity allows students to explore, discuss, and use specialized facts to create a general statement of truth.

PicDiversity, Inc. is working to solve the problems about media in the classroom. Where do teachers go to find diverse media for their students? Students deserve to feel recognized and valued, seeing themselves reflected in the lessons provided. This article presents PicDiversity and how it can transform media in the classroom. PicDiversity's goal…

Preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) need exposure to noticing students' mathematical thinking when students are engaged with technological tasks. In this paper, we share results from a study in which PSMTs first watched videos of students engaged with a technological mathematical task focused on the concept of function and after…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the frequency and levels of reflective thinking skills that took place in a collaborative learning environment utilising Google Docs. Google Docs was used as a cloud-based collaborative and interactive learning platform for twenty-five undergraduate students from a faculty of education who enrolled for…
