Smartphones and computer-based technology have revolutionized different development sectors including education. The current review describes the existing literature on Web-Based Learning (WBL) as a novel methodology applied in teaching and learning, and its potential effectiveness in teaching and learning chemistry. Further, the study intends to…

This study aims to establish a framework for student evaluation of online teaching and learning (SEOTL) through an analysis of SEOTL instruments implemented by universities and colleges. From a list of 131 R1 and 135 R2 institutions, we searched, reviewed, and identified 27 instruments for student evaluation of online teaching. A five-dimensional…

Purpose: Through the present study, the authors investigate whether online practicum in teaching, with fellow teacher-candidates acting as students, can be effective and whether the teacher-candidates actually developed skills useful for their future teachings, through this form of practicum, which is necessary when, out of necessity, like in the…

As the COVID-19 pandemic began, universities swiftly moved to remote teaching, posing challenges to students and instructors alike. This case study discusses how a distributed team approach was used to support instructors teaching four sections of a technology class for preservice teachers. Students struggled with stress, technology, and in some…

In the past two decades, there has been a shift toward the implementation and use of technology for educational purposes both in and out of the classroom. Included in that shift is the use of publisher-created online homework systems (OHS). There is evidence that students generally enjoy using OHS and that they feel using OHS benefits them. But…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced teachers to implement fully online teaching. This study reviewed the popular technologies that are used in online learning, as well as the advantages and difficulties of applying fully online courses for formal education. Based on this research background, this study proposed a nested scaffolding design of an…

This study explores the technological tools employed by university EFL-speaking teachers during this transition, investigating their continued relevance post-pandemic. With a focus on the experiences of seven university EFL-speaking teachers, this study probes…

In recent years, research in practice-based teacher education has focused on identifying pedagogies that teacher educators (TEs) can employ to prepare teacher candidates (TCs) to teach effectively (e.g., Grossman & McDonald, 2008; Lampert et al., 2013). However, there is not a large amount of research yet that describes the processes occurring…

The third pillar of technology infusion is practice, providing numerous opportunities in multiple settings for teacher candidates to practice teaching with technology and to reflect on their experiences. Drawing from sociocultural theories of learning and change, this article offers a theoretical justification of this pillar and unpacks how…

The enactment of embodied learning in the authentic classroom introduces new challenges. The educational system has yet to develop a clear vision or learning design models that would guide the implementation of embodied learning using digital technologies and manipulatives. This study presents an example of a learning design for…

Purpose: Following the rapid shift to online learning due to COVID-19, this paper aims to compare the relative efficacy of face-to-face and online university teaching methods. Design/methodology/approach: A scoping review was conducted to examine the learning outcomes within and between online and face-to-face (F2F) university teaching programmes.…
