This study investigated the potential impact of Internet connection quality and device compatibility on learners' adoption of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) by employing the Technology Acceptance Model as a framework. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was applied to data collected from 1,587 learners, followed by a two-way…

The metaverse has gained considerable attention and enormous investments in recent years and is increasingly recognized as a critical domain for future interactions and communications. Despite its growing importance, there is a notable lack of research on metaverse literacy, especially in education and training. This study aims to conceptualize…

Research on mixed devices in web surveys is in its infancy. Using a randomized experiment, we investigated device effects (desktop PC, tablet and mobile phone) for six response formats and four different numbers of scale points. N = 5,077 members of an online access panel participated in the experiment. An exact test of measurement invariance and…

Purpose: Studies on technology and interpreting have increasingly explored how technology influences the role and performance of interpreters in their practice; however, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews and analyses. This paper aims to synthetically review the state-of-the-art application and integration of various interpreting…

The early childhood period, often referred to as the "magical years of life" by many scientists, is when development occurs most rapidly after the prenatal stage. This rapid development necessitates heightened attention to ensure that children spend their time in ways that promote healthy growth. It is frequently observed that…

The population of the research consists of students studying at Inönü University, Malatya, in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The data were collected online. The sample included 925…

In recent years, do-it-yourself microcontrollers and sensors have gained increased attention as measurement devices for physics teaching (see, for example, Refs. 1-5). This is not surprising, since Arduinos are relatively cheap and ubiquitous, the code base and design are open source, and there is a wide variety of sensors available. Arduinos can…

A systematic review is a type of literature review that aims to collect and analyse all available evidence from the literature on a particular topic. The process of screening and identifying eligible articles from the vast amounts of literature is a time-consuming task. Specialised software has been developed to aid in the screening process and…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose the need for an integrated system for the production, authoring, addition and revision of webcast content and a multi-device apps mechanism with rights management for Internet transmission in the perspective of the OUJ course reuse. Design/methodology/approach: This paper designs systems that reuse…

Most reading technologies claim to provide experiences similar to reading on print paper. This study compared reading across different digital platforms and print books. Digital reading mediums used in this study were reading on a PC screen, a handheld e-reader and an iPad. A total of eighty participants enrolled in various university courses took…

The rapid technological developments associated with the decrease in the cost of smartphones made the latter more accessible and convenient to be used. In an educational setting, students are increasingly bringing their smartphones to classrooms, this could have serious security implications, particularly when students are less aware of smartphone…

This study examines community college students (N = 292) enrolled in introductory criminal justice courses, comparing access, use and perceptions of open education resource (OER) textbooks with traditional textbooks. Data were collected over three semesters from students in a large metropolitan city using an online survey. The sample pool is…

Higher education has become dependent on the use of digital materials, which may include texts, audiovisual content, and software applications. Because students in higher education are largely responsible for providing the computing devices they are required to use to interact with their digital course materials, instructors and instructional…

This study aims to examine children's well-being and life satisfaction in terms of various variables related to parents' and children's problematic technology usage. Specifically, parent/child responses during their technology use and parents' phubbing and technoference behaviors were considered. The study was conducted with 185 children (8-14)…

Surveys continue to be a popular way of collecting data in the social sciences. But, despite their popularity they have a number of limitations including the possibility of changing the behaviour of respondents. Such mere-measure or question-behaviour effects can compromise the external validity of social data. In this article, we use digital…
