This study aimed at providing learners with an opportunity not only to bring together their core and disciplinary knowledge to acquire major skills of learning English as a foreign language (EFL), and the intellectual challenge of these issues at the interface of media, language and religion, but also help the materials generators to produce suitable types of content to be delivered through the...

Abstract The changing culture toward multimodality enforces acquiring visual literacy in every aspect of today’s modern life. One of the fields intermingled with using various modes in different variations is language teaching and learning, especially for and by young learners. Young language learners’ (5-12 years old) lack of world experience forces them to make the most use of non-verbal mode...

In this paper we propose to extend the ADDIE (Analysis – Design – Development – Implementation – Evaluation) process for Instructional Systems Design (ISD) with a new linguistic layer. This layer allows developers to provide instructors with domain-specific languages to support and guide them through ISD. Instructors use the toolsets associated with these languages to produce technology-enhance...

Umsetzung und Durchführung von E-Learning sind i.d.R. mit Kosten verbunden. Um diese Kosten auszugleichen bzw. Profite zu erwirtschaften, sind passende Geschäftsmodelle zu finden und umzusetzen. Bisher fehlt ein Ansatz, um ökonomische Vorgaben in Lerntechnologien zu integrieren. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Konzept zur Ökonomisierung des Technology Enhanced Learning vorgestellt. Dazu wird ein Date...

To address the salient challenge of designing Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) amidst wide-ranging and profound technological changes, within the Web 2.0 landscape and beyond, we are developing the notion of Deep Learning Design (DLD). This is a paradigm that we hold is important to both better understanding and realising learning in the digital age that counters the sort of technological det...

Numerous studies have indicated that the provision of appropriate computer-mediated support to second language (L2) learners results in different vocabulary learning outcomes. However, there is no study available that investigates the transition in their way of learning vocabulary under the influence of technology-based support. This article presents a comparative study that examines the differ...

The involvement of technology to support and enhance learning is ever increasing; for example moving from the traditional blackboard to electronic whiteboards, from printed books to virtual reality training simulations, and from class room meetings to (a-)synchronised meeting over the web with handheld mobile devices. These technologies promise improved efficiency for traditional ways of learni...
