Mobiles for Reading: A Landscape Research Review

This landscape review takes the broad domain of new information and communications technologies (ICTs) for education, and focuses on the fast-evolving sub-domain of mobiles for reading, or M4R. The \u27mobiles\u27 in this review primarily refer to mobile technologies— ICTs that are portable, typically battery powered, and may be connected to cellular networks and/or the Internet. The term \u27reading\u27 refers to the joint abilities of understanding and producing written language, for children, youth and adults. This review of M4R focuses primarily on the use of mobile ICTs designed to help children learn to read, practice reading (reading to learn), and acquire a broader range of learning skills that support a literate society

Impact of Collaborative Reading Annotation System on EFL/ESL Learners on A Digital Platform: A Case Study of Tertiary Level Students in Bangladesh

The year 2020 is a significant milestone in the history of human civilization. Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the whole world literally came to stand still. The loss of human lives, the financial setback, new-norms of social behavior, potential threat to the progress of education and the mass paranoia have forced the world order to re-consider the traditional lifestyle and values. As a part of this re-consideration, Bangladesh with the aid of Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BDREN) came forward to offer the Zoom platform to all the educational institutions in the country for free in order to continue the progress of education. As a result the screen time of all the students increased. They started to spend considerable time reading electronic materials and media. Nevertheless, many studies show that screen-based reading tends to lead students to surface reading, attention deficiency and that results in poor comprehension. This study, thus, explores the use of a collaborative reading annotation system (CRAS) that enhances digital reading performance on an online platform. A group of thirty low-achievers in a Short Stories course was selected and CRAS was introduced to them. At the end of four months’ intensive instruction, a significant change in their performance was noted. Moreover, the group showed a remarkable interest in the reading tasks and high learning satisfaction.

MOOC Based Teaching-Learning Initiatives in Bangladesh

Purpose: The study\u27s goal is to learn more about how MOOC-based teaching and learning are evolving in Bangladesh. The difficulties of MOOC-based activities were also investigated in the context of Bangladesh. Methodology: The current research is based on an examination of secondary literature, which includes journal articles, web documents, newspaper stories, book chapters, and other sources. Findings: The market for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is expected to reach USD 67.18 billion by 2027, up from USD 7.34 billion in 2020, with a CAGR of 37.2 percent from 2021 to 2027. Bangladesh is still in the early stages of MOOC-based teaching-learning activities, despite the fact that a few projects, such as 10-minute school and BYLCx, are very commendable. Bangladesh\u27s government also uses the MOOC platform to teach migrant candidates and government-designated officers, which contributes to the country\u27s digital transformation. Despite these great efforts, the reliability and acceptance of MOOCs in Bangladesh have been questioned owing to a number of challenges, including language limitations, a lack of self-motivation, and disorientation of the ICT environment. Originality/value: This paper encapsulates the general scenario of the MOOC-based teaching-learning environment of Bangladesh

Shaping Future Leaders: How Technology is Transforming Islamic Education in The Digital Age

Islamic education has a rich tradition of instilling moral values, religious principles, and leadership qualities in young learners, laying the foundation for them to become ethical and responsible future leaders in Muslim societies. However, the advent of the digital age has brought about profound changes in education worldwide, introducing technology as a powerful tool that both enriches and challenges traditional educational approaches. This research aims to explore the intricate relationship between technology and Islamic education, with a particular focus on how technology is shaping the character development of future leaders in this digital era. This research employs a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively examine the multifaceted impact of technology on Islamic education. Participants include 20 students. The study involves structured questionnaires to collect quantitative data on students' experiences with technology-enhanced Islamic education, in-depth interviews with educators, students, and parents to gather qualitative insights, and content analysis of educational materials and digital resources used in technology-based Islamic education to assess their alignment with Islamic values and character development. In conclusion, technology has the potential to significantly impact character development and student engagement in Islamic education. However, its benefits must be harnessed thoughtfully, considering content quality and the necessity of responsible technology usage guidance. As we navigate the evolving landscape of Islamic education in the digital age, it is crucial to strike a delicate balance that leverages technology's benefits while ensuring the preservation of Islamic values. This research provides valuable insights for educators, parents, and institutions as they guide the next generation of leaders toward a harmonious fusion of faith and technology
