In this paper we study a new model of mobile learning for the Unified State Exam (&quot;USE&quot;) preparation in Russian Federation. &quot;USE&quot;--is the test school graduates need to pass in order to obtain Russian matura. In recent years the efforts teachers put for preparation of their students to the &quot;USE&quot; diminish how well the subject is actually mastered by the students. The problem lays in the key performance indicators the teachers must reach. The &quot;KPI&quot; is not unified across the country, but often it includes, in one or another form, the &quot;USE&quot; score the students get. The main proposition of this research is to use gamification in order to transfer the &quot;USE&quot; preparation out of the classroom activities. The most natural platform for this gamification is the ecosystem of the smartphones and social media available to the students. We build the &quot;USE&quot; preparation didactical model that addresses the challenges the teachers currently have. Then we discuss the architecture and the implementation for the whole solution.

How do we close the gap between the lack of academic experience incoming students have--with the expectation that students know the rules of writing and taking exams? Academic integrity (AI) is essential in post-secondary academia yet insufficient time is allocated to teaching and practicing its concepts. Talks at orientation, lectures in the first class, and notations in the course syllabus have been used to assist students with the academic transition to university, but have been less effective at increasing the student's level of academic integrity (Bertram Gallant, 2011; Josephson Institute of Ethics (see www.josephsoninstitute.org/reportcard). One solution is to provide students with information about institutional academic expectations in advance of the first day of classes yet, a number of barriers exist, including limitations in the learning management systems (LMS) and firewalls blocking access to external content. Developing a mobile AI learning application would circumvent the LMS and firewall issues and enable information to be made available prior to students' arrival, thereby acculturating them to university values and academic integrity rules to help support student success well before classes begin.

Effectively integrating m-learning into higher education necessitates consideration for both student and educator adoption factors. Data collected from 309 Canadian university participants in a Mobile Information Literacy (MIL) research study identified specific student m-learning adoption factors and substantiated those in the literature (Navarro et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2009). Recent m-learning studies (Abu-Al-Aisb, &amp; Love, 2013; Ally &amp; Blásque, 2014) indicated that institutional and educator support is needed to support student m-learning adoption. Our research findings supported this and inspired the researchers to establish a new study to investigate educator attitudes toward integrating m-learning in their teaching and to understand how institutions can support such individuals. Study results intend to support educators focused on pedagogical transformation, to successfully integrate sustainable m-learning in their physical and virtual classrooms.

ACAP Center is concerned with this alarming insurgence and need for devising approaches to ensure that teens (our students) are equipped with not just the intellectual capacity but also the equally important emotional capacity to handle situations and adapt to the ever changing methods of education. The key is to identify how to establish a strong emotional relationship between parents and students, teachers and students, and school administrators and students. This can only be instituted with empirical data and updated continues research, spearheaded by the ACAP Center. The results of the survey conveyed the order of preferences of Grade 10 students on the languages of love. This may suggest programs or approaches that could prove to be effective and efficient in establishing a positive relationship between parent/teachers and students, enabling holistic education.

The results of the study confirm with studies cited in the review of related literature wherein interaction is a main ingredient in becoming an efficient and effective educator. Teachers and Counselors who are mostly in contact and involved with student academic and social activities are cited to have high scores on the aspects of intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual interaction. Results of the survey also confirm that constant supervision and mentoring of educators improve self- image of students in terms of achievement and improvement potential. Moreover, results suggested that social and academic growth of students in the intermediate level (Grade 4, 5 and 6) have high levels of acknowledgement. Many related studies suggest that a conducive environment for relationships is a heathy breeding ground for aspiring learners. Recommending updated teaching styles and teaching approaches to Millennials. The old methods of teaching may not be appropriate to the new style of learners. Young and dynamic facilitators are preferred by majority of comprehensive educational institutions that primarily focus on youth and holistic education. More empirical- based research should be conducted by the ACAP Center to the Elementary Department in terms of effective, appropriate and adaptive teaching and learning approaches to both educators and learners.

Kinyarwanda, the national official language used by the population of Rwanda, was greatly affected by the tragic history that faced the country. The 13th annual national dialogue held at Kigali from 21st to 22nd December 2015, recommended the government of Rwanda, to put in place all measures to enhance and maintain the above mentioned language. This language, Kinyarwanda, holds the national identity and culture heritage values for the country, since its existence. This study proposes M-Kinyarwanda, an autonomous Mobile language learning application that will integrate multimedia techniques to teach and learn Kinyarwanda, in order to improve the efficiency in the language. The design and development of this mobile learning application will apply the prototype software development lifecycle approach, which requires more user involvement to allow them to see and interact with the prototype for better and more complete feedback and specifications. To measure the success of the developed system, evaluation will be carried out in the lab and expert-walk-through. Also, system field-testing will be conducted. We hope that M-Kinyarwanda will increase the motivation and efficiency of Kinyarwanda language learners, no matter where they are and when. [For the complete proceedings, see ED579190.]

This is the third in a series of three reports analyzing data on students in California Partnership Academies (CPAs). The first, &quot;Profile of the California Partnership Academies, 2009-2010,&quot; gave an overview of California Partnerships Academies (CPAs), and included some comparisons between CPA students and all high school students in California. The second report, &quot;Comparing Students in Each Academy with Non-Academy Students at the Same High School, 2009-10,&quot; examined whether CPA students really come from more challenging circumstances than other students at the same high schools. Although the second report analyzed data on students in grades 10 and 11 in 2009-10, it was not a longitudinal study. The present report now provides, for the first time, a truly longitudinal analysis of what happened to individual students in a set of CPAs that enrolled students from grades 10 through 12. Results are presented in three main sections: (1) promotion, graduation, and a-g course completion; (2) changes in attendance, credits, and grades; and (3) differences among academies.

Due to the competitive and fast-changing nature of external business environments, university students should acquire knowledge of how to cooperate, share knowledge, and enhance team effectiveness and individual learning in the future workplace. Consequently, the redesign of business courses in higher education merits more discussion. Based on the notions of team-based learning (TBL) and flipped classrooms, we proposed a business course model consisting of three main phases, which have before-class, in-class, and online-course activities. After implementing these course models in two business courses at two public universities in Taiwan, a survey based on social learning and social exchange theories was distributed. A total of 262 business undergraduate students participated in this study. The findings show that team members' valuable contributions are important in teams. This has significant impact on knowledge sharing and team effectiveness. Knowledge sharing also matters in teams since it is a significant mediator between team members' valuable contributions and team effectiveness. In addition, when team effectiveness is higher, students in this class perceive higher levels of individual learning. [For the complete proceedings, see ED579282.]

The increasing popularity of tablets in society generally has sparked much interest in their educational potential and while a number of studies on the use of tablets in schools have been conducted world-wide most of these have been conducted in English-speaking and well-resourced education jurisdictions such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Studies conducted on the use of tablets in non-English speaking and educationally under-resourced countries are less wide-spread. This research conducted as part of an EU Erasmus+ Project (Micool), focusses on the introduction of iPads in a remote, rural region of Portugal where persistent under investment in education, particularly educational IT, has been acutely felt for almost a decade. Using a case study methodology this study reveals how many of the benefits associated with using mobile technologies in other educational jurisdictions were also replicated here, and how innovative teachers, despite working within a very traditional and rigid system, used the devices to suit their specific curriculum and classroom needs. Furthermore, this study will also reveal how international events such as the financial and economic collapse of 2008/2009 negatively impacted national education policies in a European country, the effects of which were acutely manifested in this school, particularly when it came to IT provision and support.
