Millennial generation, starting from twelve-year-olds up to adolescents, is one of the most complicated generational cohorts; its ecosystem, beyond of formal and non-formal education boundaries, is more diverse than for any other previous generation. Digital learners prefer a digital learning environment, as the advantage of digital learning is the control over time, place, way and pace, enabling you to impersonate as an educational institution, applying smart personal network which consists of 3 domains: applied smart technologies; reflexive pedagogy for the digital century [1]; learning environment [2], thus without any confrontation of formal and non-formal education, but rather with con…

Usability challenges in digital learning solutions
2015
Usability is a key element in successful software. Ensuring the technical usability of a learning solution enables users to focus on their main task, learning. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the results of heuristic usability evaluations of digital learning solutions. Heuristic evaluations were conducted on 24 digital learning solutions from one country (Finland) and two country groups (Asian countries and Spanish speaking countries) concentrating on the usability of the user interface of each evaluated solution. The main results of this study indicate that a few heuristics cover the majority of all usability problems (UPs) observed in learning solutions, but these heuristics c…

GraphoGame SI: the development of a technology-enhanced literacy learning tool for Standard Indonesian
2018
Early intervention programs are generally considered the most efficient and beneficial approach to providing support to struggling beginning readers. This paper discusses the theoretical background, development, and design of, as well as the first results obtained with, GraphoGame for Standard Indonesian, a technology-enhanced learning environment that trains the basic skills of reading by high but playful exposure to grapheme-phoneme coupling. The results of the pilot study assessing the usability of the program in 69 first-graders show that the more the students with low pre-test phonological skills were exposed to the game, the better their post-test performance on reading and decoding f…

Postgraduate Students’ Experience of Using a Learning Management System to Support Their Learning: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
2021
Introduction Educational institutions worldwide have implemented learning management systems (LMSs) to centralise and manage learning resources, educational services, learning activities and institutional information. LMS has mainly been used by teachers as storage and transfer of course material. To effectively utilise digital technologies in education, there is a need for more knowledge of student experiences with digital technology, such as LMSs and especially regarding how LMSs can contribute to student engagement and learning. Objective This study aimed to gain knowledge about postgraduate nursing students’ experiences with the use of LMS in a subject in an advanced practice nursing ma…
"Ois hienoa jos kaikki ois sähköisessä muodossa" : digital self-revising material for adult language learners
2015
Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää onko aikuisille kohdistetulle digitaaliselle itseopiskelumateriaalille tarvetta. Tällä hetkellä edistyneemmille aikuisopiskelijoille ei ole olemassa itsekertausmateriaalia. Aikuiskoulutusta on vasta viime vuosina alettu tutkia tarkemmin ja olemassa oleva kirjallisuus aiheesta on hyvin yleisellä tasolla ja keskittyy lähinnä iän tuomiin haasteisiin opiskelussa sekä nuorten ja aikuisten eroavaisuuksien tarkasteluun oppimisen näkökulmasta. Aikuisten itsenäistä kielten opiskelua ei ole aikaisemmin juurikaan tutkittu. Jo olemassa olevat tutukimukset aiheesta ovat hyvin yleispiirteisiä sekä pysyttelevät usein teoreettisella tasolla. Tämän vuo…
Teachers of the Future in Digital Learning Environments
