The Internet has become one of the greatest inventions of mankind for learning and sharing of useful information through electronic means. For some years now, the developed nations have adopted the use of the e-learning system. Presently, the COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to the adoption of the e-learning system by many countries of the world being the most viable alternative for teaching and learning. This paper uses a pragmatic approach to evaluates the benefits and challenges associated with the e-learning system. A survey was conducted among students in a higher institution and a total of one hundred and twenty-five responses was gathered from the online questionnaire to know the likely challenges faced by students with the e-learning system and also at an online researchers’ forum. The result shows that 30.40% of students complained about weak internet connectivity from the questionnaire administered which is also the major problem in most developing nations, and for optimal performance of the e-learning system, there should be adequate provision for strong internet connectivity, standard IT infrastructure, and user-friendly e-learning platform.

How Do Students Use Their Mobile Devices to Support Learning? A Case Study fr...Helen Farley
Though universities are eager to leverage the potential of mobile learning to provide learning flexibly, most balk at the cost of providing students with mobile hardware. The practice of ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) is often mooted as a cost-effective alternative. This paper provides a snapshot of student ownership of mobile devices at a regional Australian university. Our research shows that students do have access to and use a wide range of devices. However, the delivery of learning is challenged when students try to access materials and activities using these devices. Course materials are rarely optimised for use on smartphones, navigating websites and learning management systems becomes a scrolling nightmare, and interacting with other students is often impractical using prescribed systems. Most concerning is that none of the students surveyed were participating in educator-led mobile learning initiatives. The paper concludes with the proposal of some practical, low-cost tactics that educators could potentially employ to begin engaging with mobile learning, leveraging what students already do.
Mobile learning anytime, anywhere: What are our students doing?Helen Farley
Recent developments in mobile technologies have provided unique opportunities for learning and teaching. This paper reports on recent research undertaken at a regional Australian university in order to understand how higher education students are using mobile devices to support their learning. A survey instrument was developed and deployed and the data collected analysed quantitatively. Upon analysis, these data demonstrate that students are predominantly using laptop computers to support their learning, but their use of smart phones and tablets are also used for a number of specific learning activities. Further analysis indicates that in spite of the limitations in the formal university infrastructure, many students would like to use their mobile devices for formal
learning as well as informal learning.

AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON K-12 TEACHERS'
USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND MULTIMEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM
INTRODUCTION
Teachers
positively support their curricular goals and enhance
classroom instruction (Smerdon, B., Cronen, S., Lanahan, L.,
Anderson, J., Lannotti, N., & Angeles, J. (2000); Gray,
Thomas & Lewis, 2010). There are multiple technology tools
st
in the 21 century available for teachers to integrate in their
classroom for these purposes; however, there are
challenges. These tools change rapidly so it becomes
inherent for schools to have current technology and
teachers that are sufficiently prepared to use these
technology tools (Hinostroza, 2011). Often teachers do not
understand terminology necessary to communicate when
using these tools. Two terms educators commonly use
interchangeably are technology and multimedia. The term
“technology” denotes the hardware that is used in the
classroom and the term “multimedia”conveys software
applications combining digital media types, such as text,
images, sound, and video, which are the definitions used in
this study. Furthermore, it is difficult to establish a skill and
integrate technology in their classroom to
By
knowledge level necessary for educators.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
developed five standards in evaluating the necessary skills
and knowledge of educators. These five standards are to:
1) Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity; 2)
Design and develop digital age learning experiences and
assessments; 3) Model digital age work and learning; 4)
Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility;
and 5) Engage in professional growth and leadership (ISTE,
2008).
For the purposes of this study, the ISTE Standard 2: Design
and develop digital age learning experiences and
assessments and ISTE Standard 3: Model digital age work
and learning, were the primary focus. More specifically, two
indicators from standard 2 were examined: a) Design or
adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate
digital tools and resources to promote student learning and
creativity and b) Develop technology-enriched learning
environments that enable all students to pursue their
individual curiosities and become active participants in

ABSTRACT
st
21 century has seen new technology and multimedia made available for integration in K-12 classrooms. This exploratory
study examines K-12 teachers' use of technology and multimedia in the classroom in two southern counties in the
Southeastern United States. The purpose of the study was to answer the following five research questions: 1) What
technology do teachers use in the classroom; 2) How often do teachers use technology/multimedia in the ...
ASSESSING TEACHERS’ KNOWLEDGE IN ICT USAGE FOR LESSON PREPARATION AND DELIVER...AkashSharma618775
Generally, it is agreed that information and communication technology (ICT) promotes easier planning
and preparation of lessons; helps teachers to have access to up-to-date learners and school data anytime and
anywhere. This is especially significant in this Covid era where hybrid education is being promoted. Therefore,
this study investigated the knowledge of basic school teachers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality in the use of
ICT for lesson preparation and delivery. One hundred and two (102) out of five hundred and ten (510) basic school
teachers were sampled using the simple random sampling technique for the study. A questionnaire and an
observation checklist were used to collect data from the teachers. Data were coded into the IBM-SPSS version 21
to generate descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages) for the analyses. Findings from the study
revealed that 92.2% of basic school teachers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality agreed that ICT is a diverse set
of technological tools and resources used to communicate and to create, disseminate, store and manage
information. The basic school teachers were of the view that the use of ICT in lesson delivery comes with lots of
benefits to their classroom instructional practices. The findings further revealed that basic school teachers in the
municipality have basic knowledge in ICT use but do not use this knowledge in their lesson delivery due to factors
such as constant changes in technology, cost of ICT tools, limited time allocation for ICT lessons in the schools,
technical nature of ICT, lack of ICT laboratories, and network facilities in schools for teachers and students. The
study recommended that more time should be allocated for the teaching of ICT in basic schools and also, basic
school teachers should be given constant ICT training through workshops and refresher courses to boost their
competencies in using ICT in their lesson preparation and classroom instructional practices.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

These two types of devices typically have different-sized screens that must be taken into account when creating mobile content, and bring two different “interaction styles” to the table: touch and scroll.
