In Indonesian context educational technology has been developed for years as a field of studies and profession (Subkhan, 2016). In many teacher colleges such as Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ), Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) and Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) there were educational technology study programs, but until now the development of educational technology seems entrapped on its methodological and practical tendency. For instances how educational technology’s curricula—especially for bachelor degree—should meet with market demand, how practically and professionally facilitating learning process within and outside the schooling system, and how to strengthen the profession of educational technologist (see Haryono, Budisantoso, Subkhan, & Utanto, 2018).

This manuscript aims to present possibilities for developing mobile and smart platforms and systems in teaching and learning the English language for engineering professionals in different engineering study programs. Foreign language teaching and learning processes are based on traditional methods, while in engineering and technical sciences, teaching and learning processes include different digital platforms. Therefore, the following hypotheses were stated. (H1) It is possible to develop a software solution for mobile platforms that can have a higher level of interactivity, and it may lead to better learning outcomes, especially in the field of adopting engineering vocabulary. (H2) Implementation of the developed solution increases motivation for learning and leads to a higher level of satisfaction with the learning process as a part of the quality of life. (H3) Students who have digital and mobile platforms in the learning process could have higher achievement values. This manuscript presents software application development and its implementation in teaching English as a foreign language for engineering and technical study programs on the bachelor level. Initial results in implementation and satisfaction of end users point to the justification of implementing such solutions.

O uso da tecnologia na área educacional vem se tornando um assunto de suma importância, e nessa perspectiva, requer-se mais atenção por parte dos docentes nos conteúdos ministrados. A pesquisa objetivou construir e validar uma tecnologia educativa tipo folder sobre mídias digitais. Trata-se de um estudo metodológico, desenvolvido em três etapas. Primeira: construção, elaboração do texto, seleção de imagens e layout para serem usados no folder. Segunda: seleção e validação pelos juízes. Terceira: foram realizadas as correções dos juízes e o encaminhamento para impressão. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva, por meio do Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC), considerando valido um IVC>0,78. A avaliação dos juízes de conteúdo, classificou a tecnologia educativa validada com um IVC de 0,90. Portanto, o material proposto e construído se torna um material cientificamente valido em meio a comunidade cientifica, auxiliando os professores a inserir a mídia em sala de aula

The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Self-directed Learning (SDL) process on multimedia competencies of educational technology students at Arak university in Iran. The sample of the study consisted of all educational technology students studying at Arak university. The sample included students who were selected for project courses in the  second semester of academic year 2014-2015. The quasi-experimental research, pre-test, post-test design was used for the study. Before the treatment, the pretest of multimedia competencies was employed, then students in the project course received education through the SDL process. The period lasted for 13 weeks, then the post-test was conducted. For data collection, the researchers prepared a questionnaire of multimedia competencies with three subscales (multimedia instructional design, multimedia production skills, and multimedia production tools). The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts in the field of Educational Technology, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was obtained as a reliability of 0.90. The data were analyzed with independent and paired-samples t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between students’ scores in pre-test and post-test; and there was no significant difference between male and female students’ scores on multimedia competencies.Keywords: educational technology, self-directed learning process, multimedia competencies

Neoclassical theory of consumer choice needs to be reformed. Assumption that consumer choice is not influenced by the choice of others is in collision with reality. New and better theory of consumer choice is unimaginable without incorporation of intersubjective factors into the model of derivation of individual and aggregate (market) demand functions. Goal of this study is to underline widely neglected sociological factors that have significant influence on motivation and behavior of consumers. Inclusion of these factors into modern microeconomic theory is of essential importance if we are about to construct theoretical model aimed to describe reality in which we daily exist better than its predecessor did.

Evaluation of a technologically mediated college-level biology course has been done objectively as well as subjectively. Comparison is made with data accumulated from a traditionally taught biology course. Comparison reveals grade improvement through the use of educational technology. The learning environment is superior and student acceptance of technology is overwhelmingly favorable. The multimedia program has had a positive effect on the teaching-learning process. The challenge is to develop and use systems more effectively.

This article describes the instructional dilemma the first author (PM) presented when he enrolled in a university class, The Special Child, taught by the second (BB). Since exceptional children are heavy users of assistive devices, the course content deals extensively with educational technology, but focuses on single technologies matched to single needs. Because of his multiple impairments, PM is legally blind and hearing impaired, numerous adaptations were required to allow him to continue his successful academic pursuits. This article describes the need for adaptation and the procedures, developed jointly by both authors, to facilitate the learning process.
