The integration of digital technology into education offers new avenues to enhance Ecology education by addressing resource limitations and fostering student engagement. This study examines the potential of smartphone applications as didactic tools for teaching Ecology in Brazilian basic education. Through a targeted search on the Google Play…

Purpose: Based on student responses to a set of customized questionnaires, this study aims to present evidence that while student evaluations of instructors and courses remain consistent, a designated mobile app enhances perceived online learning experience. Design/methodology/approach: This study addresses quality assurance issues in accelerated…

Podcasts in academia have largely been employed as either a supplementary resource to lectures, as an alternative for giving student feedback, or as a specific text to be utilized for research analysis. Largely overshadowed by the prior, there are few examples of podcast ethnographies and even fewer examples of researchers that are experimenting…

Aimed to adapt the experimental teaching to keeping up with the actual application of the experimental scene, an experimental teaching based on virtual-real combination for mobile communication was proposed in this article, which realized the collaborative mode of combining online virtual operations and real operations. The virtual experiments…

Research on mobile learning pedagogy has been sporadic and often too narrowly focused. This present research aimed to understand faculty comprehension of mobile learning (ML) theory and how they may be using mobile learning teaching strategies. The research centered around a mobile learning pedagogy workshop designed to give faculty a practical…

This article reports on a systematic review of research studies published from 2010 to 2021 on the use of apps for learning in the secondary English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. We extracted relevant information such as the studies' country/region, research design, sample size, students' age, apps' names to conduct a thematic analysis to…

More students with disabilities are attending university than ever before. Many universities are adopting Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework for accessible course design and delivery. Audio podcasting is a strategy well-aligned with all three principles of UDL, providing students with options for engagement, representation, and…

The podcast is a tool that economic educators can employ in the classroom as an alternative approach to convey content. Using a unique quasi-experimental approach in four undergraduate economics classes, we measure student perceptions of podcast use and the effectiveness of the podcast as a pedagogical tool in the economics curriculum. This…

The educational paradigm is constantly evolving; this is largely due to continuous emerging educational tools and technologies. This development has altered the traditional ways of teaching and learning. Present global trends have further increased or forced the adoption of technology in all its ramifications, resulting in a reliance that could…

This systematic review examines the empirical literature published between 2015 and 2021 on mobile-based microlearning in adult learning contexts. The rapid shift to online learning in 2020 in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need to explore flexible learning options for adult learners. The convenience of mobile-based…

Mobile language learning (MLL) is an emerging field of research, and many MLL applications have been developed over the years. In this paper, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to establish a body of knowledge on the development of MLL applications. The SLR analyzed forty seven papers from seven different digital libraries…

Purpose: The beliefs about this subject of N = 223 secondary education teachers were collected through an ex post facto research method using a descriptive and correlational design and a 27-item questionnaire. Design/methodology/approach: The arrival of online learning, in this case m-learning, to secondary education, has made educators in this…

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between Turkish teaching and e-learning, m-learning and u-learning in the program dimension. The research was carried out according to the interpretative paradigm. In this study, which was designed according to the qualitative research method, document analysis was used as a data collection…

With the development of mobile communication technology and the widespread popularization of mobile devices, mobile learning (m-learning) as a new learning model has achieved rapid development in many fields. Therefore, it is essential to clearly describe the knowledge development trajectory and research topics in the field of m-learning. This…

Tingir et al. (2017) concluded from their meta-analysis that the subject areas taught through mobile devices had significantly higher achievement scores (d = 0.48) than the ones taught with traditional teaching methods. Given the relatively high positive effect of mobile devices on student achievement, we carefully analysed the selected research…
