At the subsequent exam session, over 17,000 student-survey responses were collected regarding…

Instructional technology has been developing rapidly and its impacts can be observed in learning environments. One of the recent technological tools used in science classes is virtual laboratories. This study aims to investigate the effects of virtual laboratories on developing gifted students' conceptual knowledge and improving science process…

This study aimed to investigate the teaching effect of the blended BOPPPS based on an online and offline mixed teaching model ("B + BOPPPS") in the course of fermentation engineering in applied universities. The participants were 142 undergraduates majoring from the course of fermentation engineering in Food Science and Engineering in…

Online learning has been increasing rapidly at community colleges, especially in low-division high-demand coursework, such as developmental education. While existing studies have identified negative effects associated with online instruction in semester-long coursework in this particular setting, there is less evidence about how distance learning…

As a part of the DiMPAH-project, the authors have developed an open educational resource (OER) on netnography. In this paper, the OER is presented and critically discussed as the broader problem identified during course-development is made explicit and explored through two research questions: 1) How can an OER be designed that positions…

In recent years, MOOCs have become firmly established as valid e-learning environments and, as such, have been developed by many universities using different types of platform.

When the COVID-19 pandemic moved teaching and learning to remote and virtual spaces, teacher professional learning moved online as well. To create consistently high-quality teacher learning opportunities, many online asynchronous approaches need improvement, and they need to be tailor-made for the online setting. That was the authors' goal when…

Despite the potential of learning analytics (LA) to support teachers' everyday practice, its adoption has not been fully embraced due to the limited involvement of teachers as co-designers of LA systems and interventions. This is the focus of the study described in this paper. Following a design-based research (DBR) approach and guided by concepts…

The aim of this study is to investigate the academic achievement of 6th grade students in grammar course gamified with an online tool and their opinions regarding the application. The study employed quasi-experimental design and a semi-structured interview was utilised to obtain the qualitative data. The application lasted for 6 weeks during which…

Social network analysis (SNA) has been gaining traction as a technique for quantitatively studying student collaboration. We analyze networks, constructed from student self-reports of collaboration on homework assignments, in two courses from the University of Colorado Boulder and one course from the Colorado School of Mines. All three courses…

The present study investigates the competencies and opinions of pre-service English language teachers on the usability of web 2.0 tools in measuring English speaking skills. To this aim, an experimental study involving both qualitative and quantitative data tools was designed. The questionnaire was applied as a pre-test and post- data. In the…

Despite the significant growth and capabilities of mobile technologies, there is limited empirical evidence on teachers' perceived mobile technology-learning barriers. This study investigated Greek teachers' perceptions of barriers to using mobile technology in school classrooms. A 28-item questionnaire was administered to 557 teachers and six…
