In this case study, we present our findings regarding a massive open online Scratch programming course. The course, which followed a project-based learning approach, was delivered from July 4 to 30, 2022 to 186 students in Brazil. The students were challenged to develop individual coding projects. Our research goal was to investigate teaching and…

In this article, Michael Moore provides a bibliography of early 1980s online learning literature which was compiled when he was Director of the American Center for Study of Distance Education. The bibliography was compiled around 1990 and notes the names of some of the first thinkers and early initiatives in the field of online learning.

Augmented reality is a great value resource in the area of education, as it allows the students to become immersed in a hybrid context between the real world and the digital one, bringing realities closer to the classroom which would otherwise be impossible to reach, improving the student's motivation and also facilitating the construction of…

Secondary English as a Second Language (ESL) students commonly face obstacles that put them at greater risk for learning gaps in computer assisted learning (CAL). These obstacles include but are not limited to computer attitudes, computer self-efficacy, digital empathy, and connectivity gaps. Student attitudes towards computers as learning devices…

The association between information management and cloud computing has been supported substantially in the existing literature. However, little is known about the role of national culture in this relationship. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the role of national culture in the relationship between information management and the…

Vision classification tasks, a fundamental and transformative aspect of deep learning and computer vision, play a pivotal role in our ability to understand the visual world. Deep learning techniques have revolutionized the field, enabling unprecedented accuracy and efficiency in vision classification. However, deep learning models, especially…

Purpose: Collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity are the most essential Cs of education. However, at present, these Cs are interlinked with technology to make it more effective and reliable. Educational technology infuses higher education, many people use it on a daily basis. Students are eager to adopt such technologies…

Today's digital games attract the attention of many people from various age groups. Some sources suggest that acquaintance with digital games is as low as three years old. When digital games are evaluated from a general perspective, it is seen that the largest user group is individuals in adolescence and youth period. Individuals at this age spend…

The study explored primary teachers and students' anxiety toward online instruction during COVID-19 pandemic, the factors affecting anxiety related to online instruction of students and teachers in primary school. This research study was designed to collect data from primary teachers and students on the factors that affect anxiety in online…

Recent advances in smart devices and online technologies have facilitated the emergence of ubiquitous learning environments for participating in different learning activities. This poses an interesting question about modality access, i.e., what students are using each platform for and at what time of day. In this paper, we present a log-based…

Computers and smart devices have become ubiquitous staples of our lives. Computers and computer-controlled devices are used in all industries from medicine to engineering, and textile production. One field where computers have inevitably spread into is education, and one pre-requisite of controlling computers, or increasing the level and…

This article describes part of the results, taken from ongoing initial research, on the potential of new media in distance education. The article explores the technological conditions that students involved in Open and Innovative Schooling (OIS) experience, focusing on the fifteen schools in Mozambique. Participants were selected by intentional…

This paper has designed a professional and practical SIMD computer mathematical model based on the SIMD physical machine model combined with the variable addition method. Furthermore, the model is applied in image collection, processing, and display operations, and a SIMD data parallel image processing system is finally established by absorbing…
