Education policymakers are investing in information and communications technology (ICT) without a research base on how ICT improves outcomes. There is limited research on the effects of different types of ICT investments on outcomes. The Kenya Primary Math and Reading (PRIMR) study implemented a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects and cost of three interventions – e-readers for students, tablets for teachers, and the base PRIMR program with tablets for instructional...

This article aims to describe the implementation of Multimedia Technologies, a subject from the new Timorese General Secondary Education curriculum. Data was collected from several participants via document analysis, direct observation, interviews and focus groups. Results point to the need to equip schools with suitable infrastructures for implementing the subject in question, such as electrical and telecommunication facilities and equipping schools with computer labs. They also point to...

This study describes the academic achievements of male and female online and distance learners who have completed their degrees at the University of the Philippines Open University. It uses the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and average completion time to measure the learners' academic achievement. This study aims to provide considerable evidence to determine if there is a significant gender difference in the learners' academic achievement. The data were retrieved from the Office of...

Automation of the parts of systematic review process, specifically the data extraction step, may be an important strategy to reduce the time necessary to complete a systematic review. However, the state of the science of automatically extracting data elements from full texts has not been well described. This paper performs a systematic review of published and unpublished methods to automate data extraction for systematic reviews.

The large and growing number of published studies, and their increasing rate of publication, makes the task of identifying relevant studies in an unbiased way for inclusion in systematic reviews both complex and time consuming. Text mining has been offered as a potential solution: through automating some of the screening process, reviewer time can be saved. The evidence base around the use of text mining for screening has not yet been pulled together systematically; this systematic review...

The purpose of the study reported on in this paper was to design and test multimedia for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) learners. The study focused on counting, addition and subtraction with grade one (age 7) DHH learners in Thailand. The multimedia created for the study was informed by design considerations for DHH learners of arithmetic and aimed to minimize cognitive load. Testing took place over a period of 16 weeks during which learners alternated between 2 and 3 week sessions of one...
