“…The Padlet ® interface has been shown to be a versatile “educational tool” (Silas, 2022, p. 54). However, this versatility has mainly been explored in monolingual educational practices (Zainuddin et al , 2020). Hence, our study is a concrete, pragmatic and realistic response to Chen’s (2022) call for more research about the use of this interface in first language-English bilingual educational scenarios.…”

“…It is also important to mention that we decided to use Padlet® for seven reasons: This is an intuitive interface. It is easy to use. This is a user-friendly platform. “Users can access the Padlet platform on a variety of Web-enabled electronic devices” (Chen, 2022, p. 1445). Once users post information on Padlet ® , this is automatically saved and can be exported to other formats (e.g. PDF ® , Excel ® ). Zainuddin et al (2020) classify this interface within the type of teaching and learning tools known as “content curation” (p. 50). In this category, there are those tools used to gather existing information. Padlet ® forces students to seek online information and summarize it to write posts which are as concise as possible. …”

Purpose Seeking online bilingual scientific information is a key aspect of bilingual scientific Web literacy – abilities to engage critically with science on the Web using two languages. This study aims to determine whether factors such as age, education major, gender and type of school attended at secondary level (monolingual, bilingual, trilingual) influence undergraduates’ ability to search online Spanish-English bilingual scientific information. Design/methodology/approach The participants in this study were 60 students (43 females and 17 males, 18–25 years old) enrolled in a university bilingual science course at a high-ranked Colombian university. They were asked to complete two tasks in which they had to seek online scientific information in Spanish and in English and post their responses on the Web application, Padlet® (padlet.com). Findings Results indicate that students’ gender and age influence their academic performance in both tasks and level of originality in using information obtained via the Web, respectively. Moreover, the “scientific journal” was the top source of online information from which participants sought most information to complete both tasks. Originality/value People are becoming increasingly accustomed to seeking and sharing online scientific information to support points of view and make decisions. However, it is not known which factors influence students’ ability to seek online first language-English bilingual scientific information in countries where English is the second or foreign language.

“…More advanced uses are available, including the creation of maps and visual timelines (Shuker & Burton, 2021). Padlet is a very basic tool that has been adapted for use in higher education in different ways, including assessing writing skills through Padlet posts (Jong & Tan, 2021), teaching scientific information to dentistry and bioscience students through curated "walls" (Mehta et al, 2021), and encouraging peer interaction through posting in a business data science course (Zainuddin et al, 2020). In ESL, Padlet has been successfully used to increase student motivation to write and increase collaborative writing in the L2 (Dollah et al, 2021;Rashid et al, 2019).…”

Gardner described second language (L2) instrumental motivation, where the learning goal is practical application, and Dörnyei described L2 motivation based on the learner’s vision of their future, ideal L2 self. In the Arabic-speaking Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Vision 2030, a new countrywide strategic plan, emphasizes English mastery for business and provides new vocational avenues for women. KSA women now have instrumental L2 motivation for occupational purposes but lack models on which to base their future ideal L2 selves. While they face additional barriers to L2 acquisition due to an ineffective L2 learning environment (L2LE), and societal features that dissuade Saudis from interacting with each other in English, educational technology such as the Padlet could be used to surmount those obstacles. This case study presents an innovative, student-centered use of Padlet to teach speaking strategies (SSs) to an L2 female KSA higher education class while avoiding direct L2 dialogue and maintaining L2 motivation (n = 33). Students were provided an instructor-led lesson and offered the choice of either using the Padlet or doing a similar individual audio activity. Thirty students participated in five SS lessons, and by the third lesson, Padlet was the activity of choice, with 97%, 83% and 77%, choosing it over the audio activity for lessons three through five, respectively. Qualitative responses consistently supported that the Padlet was successful at increasing student-centered collaborative applied peer learning in this female KSA higher education classroom without requiring direct interaction in the L2, and keeping L2 motivation levels high.

“…In a separate note, Ellis (2015) reports that Padlet assists students to reduce the barriers in classroom activities. It provides opportunities for students to engage with the subject material and views posted by their classmates, which enhance brainstorming activities (Zainuddin et al ., 2020).…”

PurposeEducational technologies such as Padlet have begun to transform the way teachers teach, students learn, and teachers and students interact. However, relatively little emphasis has been given to explore collaborative learning (CL) using educational technologies such as Padlet as a means of student engagement. Thus, the purpose of this reflective article is to gain insight into the use of educational technologies Padlet in the tutorial workshop in accounting program at an Australian university.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a qualitative podcast research approach with a specific focus on the author's personal reflection over the course of a semester in an Australian university classroom.FindingsThe findings of this article (based on the author's own reflection from the classroom) show that a digitally innovative useful tool Padlet works on a variety of different devices and does not require student's technical know-how to use it. The findings further suggest that Padlet technology as a great equaliser has helped students' engagement in classroom activities.Research limitations/implicationsDespite some noticeable limitations, this paper suggests that using Padlet in classroom engagement activities has provided a smoothing space for CL. The findings of this reflective article would be an interest to students, academics, curriculum designers and educational technology experts.Originality/valueThis study provides interesting insights into how Padlet contributes to the student's engagement.
