“…As shown in Fig. 3, The graph, as expected, describes oscillations with a constant frequency of 0.36 , the amplitude of wave elevation inside the chamber decays over time until it equals to zero, which is similar to the case of the under-damped oscillatory linear systems [6].…”

Effect of wall inclination on the dynamic behaviour of an oscillating water column system

The Oscillating Water Column device (OWC) is one of the most used Wave Energy Converters (WECs) for wave energy harvesting. It consists essentially of two parts: the pneumatic chamber made of concrete and the bidirectional turbine linked to a generator group for energy production. In this study we are interested in the water motion oscillation inside the chamber resulting from the water level perturbation. This process is characterized by its own natural frequency and global damping. The vertical OWC chamber model is limited by the number of parameters defining the natural frequency and the global damping. The objective of this paper is to improve the performances obtained for the vertical OWC by considering an OWC with inclined sidewalls. For maximum efficiency, the device must operate in the resonance domain where the damping is low and the frequency of incoming waves matches with the natural frequency of the OWC. This will theoretically amplify the pneumatic energy to be converted to a mechanical one in the turbine.

“…For example, integrating the course tool WebCT has been shown to improve reading engagement and critical thinking skills (Burgess, 2009). Additionally, in a study by Morin, Thomas, and Saadé (2012), students perceived that using the Web contributed the most to fostering critical thinking skills. Further, online courses allow students with the opportunity to master their learning, learn at their own pace, and engage anonymously in online discussions .…”

There is no questioning that the way people live, interact, communicate, and conduct business is undergoing a profound, rapid change. This change is often referred to as the "digital revolution," which is the advancement of technology from analog, electronic and mechanical tools to the digital tools available today. Moreover, technology has begun to change education, affecting how students acquire the skill sets needed to prepare for college and a career and how educators integrate digital technological instructional strategies to teach. Numerous studies have been published discussing the barriers of integrating technology, the estimated amount of investment that is needed in order to fully support educational technology, and, of course, the effectiveness of technology in the classroom. As such, this article presents a critical review of the transitions that technology integration has made over the years; the amount of resources and funding that has been allocated to immerse school with technology; and the conflicting results presented on effectiveness of using is technology in education. Through synthesis of selected themes, we found a plethora of technological instructional strategies being used to integrate technology into K-12 classrooms. Also, though there have been large investments made to integrate technology into K-12 classrooms to equip students with the skills needed to prepare for college and a career, the practical use of this investment has not been impressive. Lastly, several meta-analyses showed promising results of effectiveness of technology in the classroom. However, several inherent methodological and study design issues dampen the amount of variance that technology accounts for.

“…Despite this, numerous researchers have found a strong correlation between the use of technology and increased student engagement and academic achievement (Rashid & Asghar, 2016;Sahin & Yilmaz, 2020). They have also noted that technology can be an effective tool for the development of language learning and critical thinking skills and can lead to academic achievements; for example, the use of podcasts can help learners improve their pronunciation skills (Ducate & Lomicka, 2009;Morin, Thomas, & Saadé, 2012).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of using the digital learning tool Padlet to teach English vocabulary to Saudi females learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) within the context of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). Specifically, it examined the attitudes and thoughts of these females toward the application and the effectiveness of using it as a learning platform. The study was set out to answer two questions; the first questions is "How effective is the application Padlet with regard to using a CLT approach to teach English vocabulary skills to Saudi female EFL learners?" while the second one is "What are users' attitudes toward the online learning platform Padlet?". The experiment was conducted for two weeks using Padlet. The population size was 50 Saudi females who were level-eight students at the
