This study investigated student-teachers' continuous intention to use mobile learning management system. The sample size of the participants was two hundred and sixty-one. The participants responded to online survey questionnaires consisting of items from the combination of both technology acceptance and the expectation confirmatory models. To…

Reducing the carbon footprint of higher education institutions has become a global trend in recent years, as they are the axis of society's scientific and technological transformation that must be carried out with a sustainable approach. Among the many approaches that can contribute to this problem are the digital transformation of academic and…

The era of innovation in education is well underway. Effective practices demonstrate the power of technology in motivating students and improving learning outcomes.

This paper traces the evolution of the design framework for the use of technology in a teacher education program in a Singaporean university. This course focuses on developing student teachers' capacity for the use of ICT in teaching and learning. We report our two-level reflection: one that focuses on the trajectory of the course design, and one…

Drawing on research literature on online discussion and on reading and learning from the text, we argue that research on learning from text has much to offer but has been largely absent in informing the design and study of online learning environments. We propose several key issues to be considered in research and development of online discussion,…

The issues of portability and re-use are key challenges for learning technology. A major effort has been directed toward the development of standards that will enable interoperability and the re-use of learning objects. This paper provides a critique of this work from a pedagogical perspective. It argues that true portability and re-use cannot be…

Discusses positive effects of digital photography on the teaching of mathematics and cost-effectiveness for schools. Discusses appropriate digital camera resolution, storage, printers, and handheld options for classroom use. (KHR)

If technology is to be integrated into schools successfully, then teachers must understand that instructional technology is not just hardware or software, but rather a process and/or approach to teaching and learning.

The purpose of this paper is to depict a model of the ethical drivers of the implementation of instructional technology. The model is meant to be a starting point for institutions as they initiate, update or implement instructional technology. A major assumption underlying the paper is that a consideration of ethics is lacking in the planning…

Offers recommendations about the appropriate role of technology in higher education: too much technology in your class can be negative; technology can intimidate if students have not been uniformly prepared before its use; students can be unforgiving if technology fails; technology-assisted process can be more important than the product developed;…

This paper offers an alternative view of computer applications within classroom education as an initial step in the direction of a more teacher-centered approach to the integration of computer applications into classroom teaching. Accordingly, the view suggested in this paper approaches computer applications within the context of the teaching…
