In recent years, social media such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram have become an essential part of the everyday lives of children and young adults. Integrating elements of these social media into higher education may have the potential to enhance situational intrinsic learning motivation through the emotional design and proximity to students'…

Due to the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics movement and the immersive aspects of virtual reality technology, the use of virtual reality in education has grown rapidly. In the field of art education, many researchers have demonstrated the potential of using digital art and virtual worlds. Based on how technology and convincing…

This article seeks the opinions, perceptions, and attitudes of faculty members about the strategies for using hologram technology in the learning environment. The research method was qualitative and based on this, 17 faculty members from Farhangian University Centers (CFU) and public universities in Iran were interviewed. The data obtained were…

We present a simple smartphone-based protocol for the estimation of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of surfactants. The protocol is based on contact angle measurements from the smartphone-captured images of differently concentrated surfactant solution droplets mounted over a naturally existing or chemically synthesized superhydrophobic…

Multicultural classes in academia present challenges, intensified further in the context of online learning. Addressing these disparities requires innovative solutions to the challenges stemming from the diverse cultural backgrounds, religious affiliations, age disparities, varying learning skills, and differences in technology access. This study…

Filmmaking is an inherently practical area of study. Not all students can access film school because of monetary, location and health issues. Options without schooling are online in the form of tutorial videos. 360° video offers a more interactive approach than traditional learning tools, and the technology can enhance learning and promote…

Two studies were conducted to ascertain whether or not the embodiment principle of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning would apply to student's use of cameras in synchronous online instruction. Results from a cross-sectional dataset indicate that students who utilize their cameras report more positive outcomes than students who do not…

Traditional teaching methods struggle to convey three-dimensional concepts effectively. While 3D virtual models and virtual reality platforms offer a promising approach to teaching anatomy, their cost and specialized equipment pose limitations, especially in disadvantaged areas. A simpler alternative is to use virtual 3D models displayed on…

This research builds on the recently published paper (Garden, 2022c), which explored through interviews the use of iPads as cameras to enhance Forest School practice. Children's perspectives of the Forest School space captured what was important to them on camera (Garden, 2022c). Working with the same group of 32 Key Stage 2 children selected from…

Visual documentation (videography and photography) can facilitate children's full participation in the stories and plans of their work and thereby invite a deeper literacy of agency and belonging. The shared medium of still and moving images invites shared power in the design and ongoing decisions about learning. Jodi Wert refers to using visual…

Digital software has been proliferating in the classroom, frequently replacing students' hands on experiences. This article reports on a study that tested how hands on experiences with physical emerging technology, namely personal robots, drones, cameras, and echo dots, may improve or impair student learning and enhance or diminish the classroom…

The following article deals with the possibility of discovering several parameters of the picture when using Google Maps images, e.g. time and date of taking the image. This is possible with all pictures in which buildings, trees, poles ('objects') can be seen with their shadows. In some cases, one can find -- with a bit of luck -- an aircraft…

The rate of the sonochemiluminescence reaction of luminol in alkaline medium can be increased in the presence of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and bromoform. The presence of the latter activators enhances the light emission, to allow studying the kinetics of this reaction in a 4-h laboratory session using a mobile phone camera as a detector…

The study aims to identify whether interactive touchscreen images affect children's well-being and motivation in the context of inclusive education. It involved 22 students of the inclusive school. The students were in their 1st grade. The average age of the schoolchildren was 7 years. The survey method was the tool that assessed the significance…

Technological advancements have ushered in a new era of global educational development. Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the potential to enhance teaching effectiveness and foster educational innovation. By utilizing student posture as a proxy, computer vision technology can accurately gauge levels of student engagement. While previous efforts…
