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

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.

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).

Digital technologies increase the impact on society, economy and education every day. Schools gradually penetrate the technologies of virtuality and complemented reality; teachers must be prepared not only for their understanding, but also for their use. Currently, mixed learning becomes more popular in educational institutions, but not all teachers understand the essence of this concept. A generalized analysis of domestic scholars has shown that the notion of "mixed learning" relates to such concepts as "learning process", "learning system", "educational technology", "educational methodology", "combination of methods", "modernization tool", etc. On the basis of the analysis of literature on the concept of "mixed learning" in foreign and domestic researchers, the author presents her own definition, discloses the main components of mixed learning and its benefits in organizing educational activities in institutions of general secondary education; a scheme of combining traditional and e-learning in a mixed one is prepared. Digital technologies have a significant impact on the nature, the form of training, the kind of activity of students, allow the implementation of fundamentally new forms and methods of learning, and, as a consequence, increase the efficiency of educational process in a digital society. Before higher education there is the task of training specialists who can use a computer for the organization of interactive training and testing, video conferencing, participation in telecommunication projects, webinars, forums, etc. It is noted that modern teacher has to develop independently educational content in text, video, multimedia and hypermedia format, to use digital and educational resources, to set up educational content management systems and to organize training with the use of the Internet and its services.

There is no ideal class, but there are many ways to make teaching more interesting and better, putting an emphasis on the student as the main subject in the teaching process. No form of teaching work is perfect, it is very important not to keep the same principle of work and combine teaching and working methods according to the teaching unit (lesson) and class. Electronic social networks support independent learning management, learning through interactive communication, cooperation, knowledge creation and creation of a learning chain of interested and active actors. The Internet relocates the learning process from schools to cafes and other private environments, according to the principle of mobile classrooms. However, at present time of distance learning, due to the COVID-19 pandemic current situation, the student is allowed to be able to plan both the time and place for learning, following its own interests and using the electronic media. In that way, students easily and quickly become more independent for self-education process and preparation for lifelong learning, which becomes a lifestyle in new technological conditions. New information society challenges many dimensions of the traditional functioning of the education system. What is indisputable is the role and importance of education, both for the survival and development of society and individuals. Modern technologies have radically changed the physiognomy of modern society, needs and the way of meeting needs, and standards in all levels of social life. There is a constant need for a new education policy and strategy. New technologies create new work organization, the need for new occupations and educational backgrounds. Many problems in the society arise precisely in the field of education. The problem of educational efficiency, unclear competencies acquired through simple reproduction of existing educational profiles, without new educational competencies for the completely new occupations, the traditional way of education, with reproduction of learned, without clear vision of usefulness and usability of knowledge, are just some of the manifest forms of crisis society-education. The application of new educational technology is a requirement of the new education strategy, from which is being expected to increase the efficiency of educational and learning process. A society that is unprepared to implement modern technological achievements is doomed to stagnation, as well as to numerous conflicts and marginalization. On the other hand, investing in education, modernizing the premises in education, content and educational technology, has a reciprocal impact on the development of society. In the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the information age proved to be appropriate and much needed by proving to be adequate to change traditional notions about matter, space, time, energy, and even about education. In these conditions, the role of teachers, schools, education, the nature of learning, and the methodology of teaching has changed. The new living conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have fundamentally changed the way teaching, business, entertainment, war technology, and educational technology. Educational technology consists of knowledge and achievements in various scientific fields: pedagogy, didactics, methodology, psychology, cybernetics, communication, etc. In these conditions, teaching methodology must rely on modern educational technology, on a systematic and organized process of applying modern techniques and technology in improving the quality of the teaching process in the field of efficiency, optimality, applicability and acquisition of knowledge. Knowledge, use and application of modern information technologies, in these conditions, is the content of modern literacy and cultural pattern. All of these are challenges for the methodology in teaching social sciences and humanities. The methodology of teaching social sciences and humanities is, more than the methodology of any other science field, facing important challenges. All the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in society and life, through the teaching social sciences and humanities, should be approximated, explained, and interpreted in a way that will not distance these sciences from high school students, who will not create a repulsive attitude, "bogy" incomprehensible reading, as boring classes to be avoided. Precisely through the use of the possibilities of modern technologies, the teaching work should be refreshed, innovated and activated, so that the knowledge is updated both in the content and in the teaching-methodological sense. Finally, our hypothesis set at the beginning of this theoretical study is confirmed, modern forms of work and innovative approaches in the educational process are the future of the educational process. Expert authors agree that there are no good results without the application of educational technology, new methods and forms of work in the teaching process. Developed societies have long used this method and we can say that this is one of the reasons for their development and progress. However, appreciating all the above, the recommendation and conclusion of this paper is that with the use of new benefits and advantages in teaching, as well as the current need for distance learning, which is only feasible due to the COVID-19 pandemic, do not forget to use traditional teaching style as reliable support for performing and adequately placing educational tasks today and in the future. Spoken word is in any case an irreplaceable variant to which we should return according to the social crisis caused by the mentioned problems.

Gamification is a new and upcoming trend that is predicted by many to further enhance the field of educational technology in the new millennium. The use of gamification has fared well in the corporate world and is gradually transcending into the educational arena. The usage of game elements such as points, badges and leader board can assist in keeping the students not only motivated but also engaged to the teaching and learning process in the school. As learning and assessment come hand in hand as a knowledge acquiring process in a classroom, therefore it should be identified whether or not gamification can be truly utilized in the form of a learning and assessment tool in the teaching and learning process. This paper will discuss about the repercussions of using gamification as a learning and assessment tool based on the review of several studies carried out in the field of gamification.
