The focus of this research study was factors affecting Historically Black College and University (HBCU) instructional technology implementation. The problem that the study addressed was that HBCUs were slower at technology adoption than non-HBCUs, which could impact how prepared HBCU students may be for the digital workforce. The purpose of this…

Embedded system course requires the manifestation of acquired knowledge through the transfer of the relevant skill set in a hands on environment to achieve the respective course outcome. Laboratory skills provide the optimum exposure and experiential learning to obtain real time solutions for real time problems. The present embedded system course…

In studying technological change, we often seek to understand the dynamics of how technologies and practice shape each other over time, examining sites of innovation, adaptation, and appropriation, of making and re-making systems anew. However less attention has been given to how formerly cutting-edge technologies become old, how people work…

Contribution: Portable learning instrumentation has become common in university classrooms and laboratories, but few publications assess the effects of these technologies on student retention. This paper addresses this under-researched connection between the use of portable learning technologies, incorporated into an Introduction to Computer…

Bank Street Laboratory (a set of hardware/software tools for measuring temperature, light, and sound) consists of a board that plugs into Apple microcomputers, cabling, software, and six probes. Discusses the laboratory's hardware, including the analog-to-digital converter, multiplier chip, and modular connectors. Circuit diagrams of components…

The human capital supply chain is a complex network of systems with inherent challenges to accommodating Total Learning Architecture (TLA) operability. This document covers the objective end-state for Department of Defense (DoD) learning organizations migrating to TLA compliant data and microservices. This document is organized into sections that…

Google is a multinational technology company whose massive advertising profits have allowed them to expand into many areas, including education. While the company has increasingly faced public scrutiny, the use of Google software and hardware in schools has often resulted in little debate. In this paper, we conduct a technoethical audit of Google…

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained increasing popularity in human society, and it is important to educate people about this emerging technology. Many countries have adopted school curricula to incorporate AI into their classrooms. However, developing tools for discovering AI concepts remains challenging. There are few studies on…

Tangible programming combines the advantages of object manipulation with programmable hardware, which plays an essential role in improving programming skills. As a tool for ensuring the quality of projects and improving learning outcomes, the PDCA cycle strategy is conducive to cultivating reflective thinking. However, there is still a lack of…

This paper presents a study that focused on assessing computer and ICT skills of business subjects' learners at Botswana Open University (BOU). The study explored the levels of computer skills; existence of ICT skills and perception of business subject learners on the adoption and use of ICT skills for teaching and learning. A sample size of 223…

The beginning course involves the student with practices in plumbing, referring to the various systems of pipes and tubes that carry liquids and gases from a source to a building. Course content includes goals, specific objectives, orientation, selecting hardware, tools and equipment, prescription for faulty fixtures, and plumbing installations.…

The evolution of a self-contained test scoring terminal is presented. The rationale for the design is presented along with an evolutionary description of the requirements for the system. The sequence of software and hardware tools, which were developed in order to build the device, are also described in this report. The resulting device, which…

The purpose of this study was to gather information to identify the obstacles and the impact an implementation of technology had in a middle school science classroom. This study explored a teaching environment where the teacher planned on using a variety of technology tools including laptops, probeware, hardware and software to promote scientific…

This study aimed to determine the opinions of student teachers about distance learning in online courses using a survey designed for this purpose. The researchers designed a questionnaire, titled "The opinion of student teachers about distance learning in online courses survey instrument" to collect quantitative data from student…

Hands-on dissections using cadaveric tissues for neuroanatomical education are not easily available in many educational institutions due to financial, safety, and ethical factors. Supplementary pedagogical tools, for instance, 3D models of anatomical specimens acquired with photogrammetry are an efficient alternative to democratize the 3D…
