“…As the number of smart phones and tablets sold begins to surpass the number of desktop PCs sold, mobile devices play a more important role in online commerce. Researchers believe that services based on location data and context information will play a more important role in the near future (Hsu, Lin et al 2013;Balestrini, Hernandez-Leo et al 2014). Social commerce users employ simple notification services (SNSs) as tools for collaboration, using them to share online shopping experiences and product-related information.…”

This paper empirically examines the effects of critical determinants such as universal access, satisfaction, reputation, and familiarity on purchase intentions for wearable devices through a paradigm of trust and social benefit. Data was collected from an online survey. The formal questionnaire consisted of two sections. The first section measured respondent perceptions of each construct in the research model. The second section interpreted the basic personal data of respondents. The study results indicate that both trust and social benefit can positively influence purchase intention for wearable devices. Universal access and familiarity fail to influence trust directly but can influence purchase intention by way of social benefit, as expected. The research extends existing purchase intention literature for wearable devices by identifying the importance of universal access, context-awareness, reputation, and familiarity, and by probing the relationship of trust, social benefit, and purchase intention. The results suggest prescriptive strategies for sellers of wearable devices.

“…Online jigsaw classrooms aim to improve the efficiency of collaborative learning. Balestrini et al (2014) believe that technology-supported jigsaw classrooms are better than paper-based jigsaw classrooms as significantly less time is spent on activity organization, idea sharing, and class content awareness. The efficiency of online jigsaw classrooms can be credited to the efficiency in learning aided by technologies.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered a universal disruption over the past year, and has caused unforeseen and formidable changes, but simultaneously has also enthused a digital transformation for educational institutions of all levels. With the upsurge in the usage of digital technologies, some potential caveats should be addressed, in particular, the speculative effective methods, course design and structure. A prodigious deal of reappraising and reimagining the philosophy of what is deemed to be the most familiar is imperative, not only to promote student-centred learning, but also encourage online engagement. Considering the suspension of all face-to-face classes due to the rapid spread of the global pandemic, the purpose of this study was to assess the usability and adoption of the jigsaw method on the web-based platform, Microsoft (MS) Teams for both synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning. A pre-experimental research design was utilised with one post-test dataset obtained from the post-experiment learning analytics. Subsequently, the usability and adoption of the jigsaw method in MS Teams were evaluated based on the reciprocity of students’ responses towards the design. It is postulated that MS Teams stand out as a promising technological tool to facilitate the integration of the jigsaw method into an online learning environment. It advocates better students engagement and collaboration, and thus leads to the positive impact on students’ performance and enhanced comprehension of course content, specifically the availability of customized MS Teams features; channel and synchronous chat, which are recommended to support an engaged learning ecology.

“…3D viewers such as Google Glass (or the cheaper Google Cardboard) may be used for recording events (Tham, 2017), during which students could submit real-time queries and teachers can capture important learning objectives or thought processes during time-sensitive activities for students to review at a later date. Groups could be organized using digitally programmable visual aids (Balestrini et al, 2014), which has the added benefit of acting as signaling beacons for the students throughout the group activity. It may also be beneficial for teachers to use devices to capture more detailed self-characteristics such as movement around the classroom or interactions with students, and even extend this to include student data for comparison (as described in the sections below from a research observation perspective), although this would involve a longer-term and more involved commitment.…”

Purpose Current classroom observation strategies include questionnaires, interviews, tests, self-report metrics and live or video review observation. However, these traditional methods are subject to biases from observers in determining behavior nuances, as well as being difficult to analyze for rapid and practical feedback. In addition, the invasiveness of extra body equipment in the classroom may alter the dynamic between students and teachers. The emergence of portable devices into mainstream usage has opened a pathway for a relatively novel source of quantitative data, free from observer bias and often with accompanying analytical tools for convenience. The purpose of this study is to summarize current uses of portable technology and explore how such devices could be used as monitoring tools by both schools and education researchers. Design/methodology/approach Functions based on utility outside the education field are proposed for monitoring student activity, posture and movement, as well as proximity and relationships to others and their environment. Deterrents to device implementation in regular classroom use, such as the importance of considering ethical issues and hardware limitations, are also covered. Findings While current portable technology is unlikely to replace more commonly used techniques of observing classes, they have the capacity to augment qualitative strategies, particularly in the area of real-time data output. Research limitations/implications Ideally, the lack of unbiased observational tools available and increased adoption of portable devices in classrooms could prompt future advances in technology for teaching and learning environments. Originality/value This review summarizes potential uses for portable technology in classroom observation strategies undertaken by researchers and teachers to improve learning and teaching practices.
