A wide range of suggestions have been offered regarding the most effective type of ARS questions, including those that: • allow students to apply knowledge recently acquired (Poulis et al., 1998); • are higher level and require students to compare situations or data, make predictions, and explore causal relationships (Beatty et al., 2006; Poulis et al., 1998); • are ill-defined and vague with respect to possible answers so that students are required to process and debate (Beatty, 2004; Beatty et al., 2006; Caldwell, 2007; Dufresne & Gerace, 2004; Miller, Santana-Vega & Terrell, 2006); • focus on process and reasoning as opposed to factual content (Beatty, 2004; Beatty et al., 2006; Crouch & Mazur, 2001; Fies & Marshall, 2006); • identify and help resolve misconceptions (Beatty et al., 2006; Brewer, 2004; Crouch & Mazur, 2001; Cutts, 2006; Horowitz, 2006 ); and • support a comprehensive review of a specific set of concepts (McCabe, 2006; Kennedy & Cutts, 2005). keywords: ars; arss; beatty; caldwell; class; education; et al; learning; questions; response; strategies; students cache: ajet-1152.pdf plain text: ajet-1152.txt item: #65 of 1170 id: ajet-1153 author: Dyson, Laurel Evelyn; Litchfield, Andrew; Lawrence, Elaine; Raban, Ryszard; Leijdekkers, Peter title: Advancing the m-learning research agenda for active, experiential learning: Four case studies date: 2009-05-13 words: 8789 flesch: 49 summary: However, much still needs to be done to demonstrate how to enhance student learning through the use of these technologies.

All of the classes were videotaped with screen recording software (Camstudio) and subsequently analysed to identify how CFL learning activities were run in SL and how different activities affected the social interactions in the virtual world, as well as the perspectives of CFL teachers on SL as a CFL teaching platform. keywords: activities; cfl; chinese; class; interactions; journal; language; learners; learning; participants; research; stage; study; teaching; technology cache: ajet-144.pdf plain text: ajet-144.txt item: #187 of 1170 id: ajet-1448 author: Carceller, Charles; Dawson, Shane; Lockyer, Lori title: Social capital from online discussion forums: Differences between online and blended modes of delivery date: 2015-03-16 words: 8442 flesch: 43 summary: A study of the relationship between student social networks and sense of community.

Here, the elegant symmetry by which computer mediated learning environments respond to diversity is being made explicit: on the one hand, through their development, they have a particular view of learning, designed in, on which their response to diversity is predicated; and on the other hand, as the effectiveness of that response is being researched, they generate knowledge as to whether their underlying learning theory ought to be upheld, so influencing the form and direction of future educational provision. keywords: classroom; cosgrove; education; learning; research; schaverien; science; technology cache: ajet-1818.pdf plain text: ajet-1818.txt item: #252 of 1170 id: ajet-1819 author: Kennedy, David; Eizenberg, Norm; Kennedy, Gregor title: An evaluation of the use of multiple perspectives in the design of computer facilitated learning date: 2000-05-08 words: 3697 flesch: 52 summary: In section 1 of this paper, the history of the development of An@tomedia is elucidated, followed by an brief examination of what we know about student learning and how this has influenced the educational design of An@tomedia.

Learning processes and contradictions in distance and on-campus firefighter training in Sweden date: 2015-04-10 words: 9687 flesch: 45 summary: Observations from the on-campus activity: The exercise phase Overall, observations of campus student exercises showed a shift from a highly teacher-centered focus in semester 1 to more student-centered features in semester 4. Similar findings were also arrived at by Andrews and Tynan (2012) who describe distance students in terms of connected, mobile and resourceful individuals, and by de Laat and Conole (2008) who show that such students tend to become more critical users of technologies, more strategic in their way of learning and more inclined to communicate with one another and to share knowledge. keywords: activity; campus; contradictions; distance; exercise; instructor; journal; learning; processes; semester; students; study; technology; training cache: ajet-1865.pdf plain text: ajet-1865.txt item: #291 of 1170 id: ajet-1868 author: Huang, Yong-Ming title: Exploring the factors that affect the intention to use collaborative technologies: The differing perspectives of sequential/global learners date: 2015-05-12 words: 8653 flesch: 46 summary: The distinction between sequential/global styles is based on the way of understanding things, whereby sequential students prefer linear thinking processes and learning in small incremental steps, while global students prefer holistic thinking processes and learning in large leaps (Filippidis & Tsoukalas, 2009; Graf et al., 2009).

Four pedagogical opportunities for digital intentionality in virtual spaces emerged during data analysis and are shared as considerations for future innovation: (1) designing digital resources, (2) scaffolding student learning, (3) learner customisation, and (4) promoting the lived experience. keywords: course; digital; education; engagement; f2f; innovation; journal; learning; new; online; research; student engagement; students; teacher; technology; undergraduate cache: ajet-1869.pdf plain text: ajet-1869.txt item: #293 of 1170 id: ajet-187 author: Pegrum, Mark; Howitt, Christine; Striepe, Michelle title: Learning to take the tablet: How pre-service teachers use iPads to facilitate their learning date: 2013-09-19 words: 9727 flesch: 55 summary: Accessing mathematics through mobile learning devices for students with learning difficulties.

Pellegrino, Goldman, Bertenthal, and Lawless (2007) suggested that this could result from lack of sufficient modelling of appropriate uses of technology in the classroom by teacher education faculty, and suggest it may be accompanied by the minimal exposure to appropriate uses of technology that pre-service teachers receive during their field experiences. keywords: concerns; education; integration; pre; service; service teachers; skills; students; teachers; technology; use; video cache: ajet-3246.pdf plain text: ajet-3246.txt item: #656 of 1170 id: ajet-3257 author: Maclaren, Peter; Wilson, David; Klymchuk, Sergiy title: I See What You Are Doing: Student Views on Lecturer Use of Tablet PCs in the Engineering Mathematics Classroom date: 2017-06-09 words: 9269 flesch: 43 summary: 176 Table 1 Ratings of effectiveness by delivery mode PowerPoint Document camera Whiteboard penTPC with PowerPoint penTPC with OneNote n % n % n % n % n % P os it iv e 2 very good/ very effective 34 8% 49 13% 115 26% 116 26% 195 41% 1 good/effective 103 23% 108 28% 153 35% 211 47% 203 43% 0 average 193 43% 143 37% 111 25% 101 23% 54 11% N eg at iv e -1 poor/ineffective 81 18% 53 14% 43 10% 14 3% 8 2% Student comments on likes/dislikes suggest that ratings of effectiveness are influenced by placing higher value on teaching technology modes that support the key categories/themes as identified in Table 7: • enable the display of live, step-by-step development of theory and problem solution (doing/engaged) • display material in a format that is clearly visible, with legible writing, throughout the class environment (can see clearly), (can read handwriting) • enable inclusion of other material, such as figures and tables (interface) • can provide a record of notes that can be made available online (notes access). keywords: camera; comments; document; educational; journal; material; mode; onenote; pentpc; powerpoint; ratings; students; study; technology; use; whiteboard cache: ajet-3257.pdf plain text: ajet-3257.txt item: #657 of 1170 id: ajet-3269 author: Dalgarno, Barney; Henderson, Michael; Heinrich, Eva title: Editorial 32(3) date: 2016-07-23 words: 2524 flesch: 33 summary: We commenced as lead editors following an external review of AJET and with the strong support of ASCILITE president at the time, Caroline Steel and the members of her executive, and in close collaboration with our team of Associate Editors, we were able to gradually tick off a long series of recommended changes to the journal.
