Purpose of social networking use and victimisation: Are there any differences between university students and those not in HE?

“…For example, Yahoo groups and wikis are used to discuss schoolwork while SNS capable of hosing video podcasts are being used for engagement, enhancing student attitudes and motivation (Andrews et al, 2010). SNS, such as Facebook, is easily accessible and easy to navigate and is used by students to ask questions related to their studies and for interactive learning (Greenhow & Robelia, 2009;Polsgrove & Frimming, 2013).…”

Supporting the learning experience of health‐related profession students during clinical placements with technology: A systematic review

“…The majority of studies were of mixed methods design, combining both qualitative and quantitative research methods (19/21), whereas two studies used qualitative methodology (Reynolds & Fell, 2011; Tan et al, 2010). All studies except two included clearly defined aims and objectives (Andrews et al, 2010; McLeod et al, 2012). Assessment of the research quality found that 10 of the 21 studies scored 3/5, with the remainder scoring less than 3.…”

“…Reasons behind such scores were based upon factors such as lack of repeatability. For example, lack of detail regarding placement duration (Lin & Shen, 2013; Morris & Maynard, 2010), year group (MacKay & Harding, 2009), details of strategy usage (Pimmer et al, 2018), and sample size (Andrews et al, 2010). Only two studies included comparators as part of study methodology (Ladyshewsky & Gardner, 2008; Morley, 2014).…”

Reflections on “YouTestTube.com”: An Online Video-Sharing Platform To Engage Students with Chemistry Laboratory Classes

“…This has therefore reduced the resource implication for the project significantly. With mobile devices now ubiquitous within the student body in academia, user-owned devices represent a great potential in utilizing technology for learning. , Additionally, students are generally au fait with their own mobile device and therefore do not require further training.…”
