Online and blended learning (OBL) brings unique advantages to K-12 teachers and students. Thus, it is essential to prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) for designing effective K-12 OBL lessons in educator preparation programs (EPPs) so they can utilize OBL's distinctive characteristics to benefit their students immediately when they have their own…

Despite its significant clinical use, there is no standardized point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) curriculum in undergraduate medical education. As Covid-19 abruptly mandated the use of virtual education, instructors were challenged to incorporate and improve POCUS education within these new constraints. It was hypothesized that integrating…

The efficacy of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for undergraduate college level courses was not well established and specifically, the Pearson Dynamic Study Modules (PDSM) program had not been investigated locally. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine whether the use of an ITS designed with a cognitive learning approach; the…

This article presents the findings of a systematic review of perceived usability of educational technology systems. The research was conducted after studying, organizing, and analyzing the results of 104 research papers evaluating perceived usability of educational technologies using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The results were organized on…

With MOOCs becoming ubiquitous as a learning environment, it is important to ensure that non-native learners understand their content. Previous research shows subtitles may foster learning from instructional video, however, detailed empirical evidence is scarce. The main objective of the study was to investigate the impact of native (L1) and…

Instructor-made-videos (IMVs) are often used to foster learning in higher education. However, there is a dearth of studies on IMVs for any instructor to understand and replicate the success. In response, to better inform practice, the impact of IMVs on learning effectiveness and satisfaction was evaluated. Thereafter, an actionable framework…

The research delved into the assessment of integrating Learning Management System as an aid in teaching. Data were collected from 26 students at Rizal Technological University-College of Education, Philippines, through pretest-posttest quasi-experimental and normative survey design of research. Data were statistically tested using the frequency,…

Teaching materials and content on UNP e-learning are already available and can be accessed by students, but case study-based teaching materials with digital content are not available. Teaching materials in the digital form need to be further developed, especially case study-based ebooks. This study was aimed to develop digital teaching materials…

Microlearning, as an informal learning approach, has gained increasing popularity in both the training industry and professional studies disciplines over the last several years. However, despite the rising interest in microlearning, how to design microlearning activities and what microcontent is reasonable for microlearning activities have rarely…

Video is a rich medium that conveys more social cues than text. Use of video in an online discussion forum therefore has the potential to increase social presence in online learning environments. This experimental study compared a group using video for a portion of the required discussion posts to a group using only text in an online undergraduate…

In today's technology-driven world, digital citizenship is vital in fostering responsible technology use and essential skills for learning, problem-solving, and community participation. However, a significant focus emerges within digital citizenship--empowering individuals with disabilities. This research addresses this crucial area by…

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…

Research on impact in student achievement of online homework systems compared to traditional methods is ambivalent. Methodological issues in the study design, besides of technological diversity, can account for this uncertainty. Hypothesis: This study aims to estimate the effect size of homework practice with exercises automatically provided by…

This study is devoted to the study of the digital divide between the developed and frontier regions of China, as a model for solving the problems of the global digital divide. The research is based on a representative sample of 1,520 high school students and 220 teachers. The study included several successive stages; each of them was devoted to…

In 2021, Mexico introduced "Pasaporte al Aprendizaje," a localized version of the Learning Passport digital learning platform, to mitigate learning loss after widespread school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between October 2021 and February 2023, almost 100,000 students utilized it for upper-secondary courses. The research…
