Statistical reasoning is a crucial mathematical competency that students often lack. While there have been studies on the use of Android teaching materials in statistics learning, few have focused on statistical reasoning using comic media. This study aimed to develop mobile Android-based teaching materials called StatCom to enhance students'…

The rapid development in the world of technology and communication has contributed directly to the teaching and learning process in schools. Therefore, a paradigm shift towards learning methods in the education system needs to be implemented to meet the educational aims of the 21st century. This is due to the current methods of delivery in…

This research explores the use of touchscreen devices with children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) regarding their engagement with schoolwork. The participant children's attention, interaction and success with tablet computers and traditional materials were evaluated to fulfil the research aims. The study was conducted in a…

To make Alternative Learning System (ALS) more flexible and inclusive, the researchers aimed to explore the possibilities of utilizing mobile learning as a delivery mode and tool in increasing the delivery of instruction and enhancing learning experiences of its clienteles of the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Program. This study is…

Research on the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR) on learning exists, but there is a paucity of empirical work that explores the role that positive emotions play in supporting learning in such settings. To address this gap, this study compared undergraduate students' emotions and learning outcomes during a guided historical tour using mobile…

These proceedings contain the papers and posters of the 11th International Conference on Mobile Learning 2015, which was organised by the International Association for Development of the Information Society, in Madeira, Portugal, March 14-16, 2015. The Mobile Learning 2015 Conference seeks to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of…

This report discusses the development and implementation of computer-related teaching materials for undergraduate physics courses. A list of the computer dialogs developed, with a short description of each, is included. The types of dialog are: (1) development of an interactive proof, (2) assistance in problem solving, (3) diagnosing and filling…

This paper presents some of the preliminary results of Project COEXIST at Dartmouth College, an NSF sponsored project to investigate ways to use computers in introductory physics and mathematics teaching. Students use the computer in a number of ways on homework, on individual projects, and in the laboratory. Students write their own programs,…

A game simulating an Einstein model of a crystal producing a Boltzmann distribution. Computer-made films present the results with large distributions showing heat flow and some applications to entropy. (TS)

This report on an investigation of available hardware which would support music peripherals in an instructional mode focuses on the application of microcomputers to the teaching of music. It discusses microprocessor-based PLATO instruction, hardware selection, and courseware transfer, and notes that experimental lesson results indicate that…

Describes computer program designed to enable students to analyze process of political revolution by generating graphs for comparisons of such factors as violence, economic instability, and political instability. Student activities, abilities, and reactions, and teacher involvement are noted. Sources concerning revolution, the French Revolution,…

Several computer-oriented lessons designed to explore and exploit the problem-solving capabilities of currently available, inexpensive systems are presented. The programing language BASIC is featured. (MP)

This paper discusses the prerequisites to programed language instruction, the role of the native language and the level of skill, and then explains materials and machines needed for such a program. Particular attention is given to phonetics. (Text is in Spanish.) (CK)

Discusses a computer simulation designed as an educational tool for students to observe predator-prey oscillations and experimentally investigate how changes in life histories affect predator and prey densities. Provides hands-on interaction with such theories and with mathematical models. Available to any instructor for curriculum use. (AIM)
