Purpose: The future of management studies is invariably steering towards online and hybrid modes of course delivery. Therefore, assessing the effectiveness of online course delivery is exceptionally crucial. This study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of online course delivery in management education involving the instructor, participant and…

This paper reports research work related to a wider study, aimed at developing a mobile app for Science Education in primary-school. Several studies reveal that Science Education can be improved by using technology, namely educational software. However, to promote a structured use of technology, innovative learning approaches must be designed for…

Purpose: In the digital era, the dynamics of the communication process in classrooms have changed significantly. With the help of computer-mediated communication techniques, especially animation, teachers can deliver a distinct learning experience to students that can be fun, while presenting complex ideas in simpler forms. The purpose of this…

Background: Animations of scientific concepts may improve comprehension by explaining and visualizing the steps of complex processes, but unless they engage student interest in meaningful ways, their effectiveness as teaching tools is limited. We achieve this through a novel approach to animation design that includes the target audience…

Gazing into the future, how can educators refocus art and museum curricula to reflect emerging digital technologies while maintaining the value of hands-on making and educator-facilitated practice? With the goal of supplying opportunities for learners to activate the space and reach a profound understanding of art, without relying on human…

This study examined the development process of graphic symbol-based animations for enhancing literacy skills of deaf or hard of hearing students (D/HH). Participants of the study consisted of two teachers and seven students studying in the third and fourth grade in a primary school for hard of hearing. As a result of the studies conducted…

This paper presents a "virtual reality" based lesson for a common Calculus topic, including a description of how the lecture was implemented in both a virtual reality and an augmented reality hardware system. This lesson was delivered to a number of calculus classes and we describe the student response to the lesson via a quiz and a…

In computational modeling activities, learners are expected to discover the inner workings of scientific and mathematical systems: First elaborating their understandings of a given system through constructing a computer model, then "debugging" that knowledge by testing and refining the model. While such activities have been shown to…

This study aimed to explore the beliefs and attitudes of 36 science teachers (biology, physics and chemistry) in six high schools in Ankara towards the use of Interactive White Boards (IWB). Of these, three teachers from each school were chosen for interview and classroom observations according to their questionnaire results with purposeful…

An understanding of human embryology is essential for students to better understand the subjects of human anatomy and physiology. However, human embryology is a challenging subject for many, since they must learn how anatomic structures and physiological processes develop over a period of time. Embryology texts typically use static,…

Today, use of different teaching models, materials, and tools in education and teaching process have increased. The main reason for such increase is the search to make education more quality, easier, more entertaining, and more permanent. In this sense, animation films are technological products that contribute learners in visual and audial terms.…

Given that students are constantly communicating and documenting special experiences in their social and private lives with digital devices, we suggest that this behavior could be used to record and deepen learning experiences-such as visualizing reactions at the molecular level-in a chemistry class. An example would be the creation of stop-motion…

To promote students' awareness about diversity and to create and sustain an ethic of inclusion, it is vital to offer them critical analytical skills necessary to understand systems of power and the tools to create change. Although many faculty already integrate diverse perspectives, materials, and pedagogical approaches into their courses, many of…

The aim of this study is to develop a lesson plan for the "Graphics and Animation in Education" course lectured in the department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT). For this purpose, a "Needs Analysis Form for Graphics and Animation in Education Course" that includes open ended questions is produced by…
