With an increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and the importance of providing inclusive educational settings, it is important for all teachers to utilize strategies that support learners' needs. Due to the complexity of their needs, some students with ASD struggle with transitions within and across activities in schools.…

Traditional PD sessions share information on new practices, but teachers often can't translate that information effectively to implement the new practice in their classrooms. A better way is to show a teacher a model of excellent practice by a colleague and help her reflect on the "gap" between her practice and the model, then plan…

Virtual and augmented reality apps enable gifted students to explore content in new and exciting ways. Students can use the technology to create interesting and interactive products that not only demonstrate their understanding, but also advance their learning.

Autistic people process gaze differently than typical people, but it is not yet clear if these differences lie in the processing of eye-shapes or the belief in whether others can see (perceptual mentalizing). We aimed to investigate whether these two models of gaze processing modulate social seeking in typical and autistic adults. We measured…

Video-based flipped class instruction can strengthen the learning motivation of students. The effectiveness of flipped class instruction on teaching effectiveness and subject satisfaction has been evaluated previously. The present study aims to examine the impact of two aspects of subject reading motivation. A total of 100 secondary school…

In view of the benefits of inquiry-based learning and knowledge management (KM) in triggering students' communication and knowledge construction and the benefits of a flipped classroom in engaging student learning in- and out-of-classroom, this study proposed to integrate inquiry learning and KM into a flipped classroom to cultivate student…

Objective: To assess the convergent validity and reliability of joint angle measurements from a new video goniometer iPhone/iPad application separately in adults, older and young children. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Child care and university environments. Participants: Fifty-four adults (mean SD=22.5 [plus or minus] 4.5y), 20 older children…

In this paper we present the results derived from a project aimed to study the "learning gains" obtained by undergrad engineering students that used two mobile learning resources (in video format). We conducted our study over a 6-year time interval applying "pre-test" and "post-test" instruments to both experimental…

This chapter assesses the usefulness of 360/VR video production in the creation of student VR videos. With the emergence of 360/VR documentary platforms in narrative and documentary film, empathy and presence are often touted as this format's unique contribution beyond traditional documentary modes. However, the lack of an established grammar of…

As college and universities continue to explore online learning environments, practitioners must remain cognizant of meeting students' individual needs. American higher education has demonstrated that with increased accessibility comes increased diversity. As a result, institutions must be proactive and intentional with the delivery of…

Research has increasingly demonstrated that pronunciation difficulties in English can seriously affect learners' intelligibility and ability to comprehend spoken English. It is thus crucial that we find ways of helping learners of English become more intelligible. In this talk, I present compelling research evidence in support of a strategy-based…

This study aims to investigate the advantages of implementing multimedia resources in the teaching and learning environment of mathematics and statistics. It examines the use of tablet PCs to create video learning resources. Such practices allow lecturers to provide additional learning support to students via the learning platform Moodle. This…

With the explosion of multimedia learning environments and the use of digital time-compression algorithms in common software and hardware, we need guidance on how to use this technology without sacrificing quality and learning outcomes. The purpose of the meta-analysis is to examine the existing empirical research literature to derive an overall…

The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between university students' stress level and their attitude toward online education forced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it analyzed the relationship between the use of online education instruments and attitude. Two hundred eighty-three university students enrolled in the Turkish…

Lecture capture is a technology where live lectures are recorded in a digital format and made available to students to view at their convenience. The use of this technology in higher education has steadily increased despite mixed results as to whether it is beneficial to student achievement. The current study utilized a two-group…
