Perusall, a web-based collaborative reading platform characterised by its social annotation functionalities, was introduced in a postgraduate teacher-training language-awareness course in Hong Kong during the shift to online teaching and learning brought about by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Tasks were designed on Perusall to engage the…

This article analyzes the self-concept about digital competence in university professors of Sciences, Health Sciences and Engineering and the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) use habits of professors in these areas. For this purpose, a survey designed by the authors was completed by…

This qualitative case study addresses the rise in popularity of the use of predictive text programs within the K-12 educational environment. A problem exists in the discrepancy between the widespread availability of Google Smart Compose within Google Docs, an AI predictive text tool, within the school environment, and a distinct lack of research…

This paper compares the speaking scores generated by two online systems that are designed to automatically grade student speech and provide personalized speaking feedback in an EFL context. The first system, "Speech Assessment for Moodle" ("SAM"), is an open-source solution developed by the author that makes use of Google's…

In today's world, where the accessibility of information is increasing thanks to the development and transformative effect of technology, the use of technology in the education system is now indispensable. The use of technology in the learning experiences of students, who are defined as digitally native in particular, has facilitated both the…

In this research the effects of STEM applications, which are aimed to support the integrated teaching knowledge of pre-service science teachers on the problem solving skills of pre-service science teachers were examined. The research was carried out in scope of the mixed method design of convergent parallel design. The research was conducted with…

So that students are equipped with the skills needed to compete a in a global economy, schools are being given resources intended to increase equity, opportunity, and to close the digital divide. Digital equitability exists when all students have access to both advanced technologies and the learning opportunities the technologies provide (Solomon,…

Purpose: Recently, a layered and lateral framework that provides opportunities for students to design the pedagogy that creates a broad based, flexible and personalized learning is introduced by the Taylor's University School of Engineering. This approach creates avenue for the students to design their own curriculum within the framework that is…

Students within higher education increasingly expect a teaching and learning environment which makes effctive use of technology enhanced learning and respond particularly well to information delivered using a visual medium. One way in which colleagues have responded is through the increased use of new, free presentation software. This review…

Students today are increasingly engaged in the use of digital information and communication technologies. The Internet continues to grow and more and more young people are using it worldwide. Educational practices, however, have been slow to adapt to the corresponding developments. For example, Internet forums are generally ignored in most…

The BBC Micro:bit is a great device to encourage students to get involved in Computer Science and to create their own digital projects. However, the design of the single-board computer (including the built-in sensors) makes it possible to use it in Physics lessons or in Physics related activities, too. Those students who are keen to take up…

In this work, two exercises are described that are designed to teach students about the evolution and behavior of the electronic bands of graphene and bilayer graphene. These exercises involve performing extended Hückel molecular orbital theory calculations on polyacenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In the first exercise, students…

Many technological innovations have changed the traditional practice of medical education and clinical practice. Whole slide imaging (WSI) technology provided an unique way of viewing conventional glass slides in histology and pathology laboratories. The WSI technology digitalized glass slide images and made them readily accessible via the…

This article describes how with the advent of computer-based technology, there is movement from manual to automated systems for different aspects of the education system. Testing is an essential part of teaching process that helps academics in classifying the level of students and evaluating the outcomes of their teaching process. The testing…

In this article, a low-cost and pocket-sized setup for measuring CO[subscript 2] is presented. This setup is based on Arduinos, making it economic and open to modifications or improvements that satisfy other needs. It is composed of an Arduino board, a CO[subscript 2] sensor, an SD-card module, and a control panel. The device has been tested in…
