Learning requires appropriate management of time and resources. Consequently, self regulated learning (SRL) becomes predominant and apparent (Bartolome et al., 2011; Lefrere, 2011). More and more educators at all educational levels are trying to enfold self regulated learning in the learning process (van Ewijk et al., 2012; Kramarski et al., 2009). The use of technology-based procedures transforms...
Technology is changing and at a very rapid pace. New tools are being developed and coming to the forefront on almost a daily basis. Instructor -- led workshops that train faculty and students in the use of new tools can be expensive propositions for educational institutions. Scalability and ensuring uniformity in delivery of content become challenges. To address the problem of making the training...
Social software is built around an "architecture of participation" where user data is aggregated as a side-effect of using Web 2.0 applications. Web 2.0 implies that processes and tools are socially open, and that content can be used in several different contexts. Web 2.0 tools and technologies support interactive information sharing, data interoperability and user centered design. For instance,...
This study examines the use of collaborative instructional technology among engineering undergraduates at a Research I university and discusses the relationship of student use to desired educational outcomes. Specifically, trends in student use of the Tablet PC and related features over a four year period will be discussed. Frequency of student use of the collaborative features within engineering...
Learning ecological science content and inquiry strategies should increasingly use the new tools from science - sensors for data capture, information visualization for data-analysis, low-cost mobile computers and mobiles for field-based science. The LET's GO! project seeks to develop, implement, research, and sustainably scale a new paradigm for fostering high school student learning in teams for...
The net generation of students have characteristics which make them well-suited for participating in open source projects including being comfortable with information technologies, using IT as a form of communication, desiring to work in groups, a desire to do social good, and being fascinated by new technologies. The nature of open source projects where communities of developers from around the world...
