“…Results concluded that flipped learners performed significantly better in projects and final examinations (Bristol, 2014;Brooke & Lister, 2016;Ilgu & Jahren, 2016;Ponikwer & Patel, 2018;Wozny, Balser, & Ives, 2018). It is found by some researchers that some e-tools can provide a profound impact on the outcomes of the students, which were measured through student's feedback (Poloju & Naidu, 2020). Other research indicated that LMS and online sources improved students' performance to demonstrate profound knowledge and more conceptual Arab World English Journal www.awej.org ISSN: 2229-9327 364 understanding, maintaining a positive attitude towards the FL model (Sharma & Naidu, 2020).…”

“…This is in line with the new millennial learning preference, born as digital natives exposed to information technology (IT) from infancy. Furthermore, the use of technology positively affects student's ability to construct their knowledge, now considered a critical standard of learning (Roehl, Reddy, & Shannon, 2013;Poloju & Naidu, 2020). HEIs, internationally, have recognized the potential value of utilizing IT in pedagogical approaches and curricula, typically to promote studentcentered education allowing students to become actively engaged in higher-order thinking (Kim, Kim, Khera, & Getman, 2014).…”

Learning Management System (LMS) has become an integral part of education technology in every institution. Almost all the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are using LMS to facilitate their teaching and learning processes. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of LMS and the basic perception of students on the usage of LMS and various plugins to support their learning process not only to ensure its quality but also to evaluate different strategies for its future enhancement. Hence, this study adopts a developmental evaluation framework to assess students’ satisfaction and perception of using the (LMS) in their experiential Flipped Learning (FL) of English language modules. The methodology follows the pragmatic paradigm based on Dewey’s theory to allow for mixed-method instruments to be employed for a better understanding of the LMS, exploring its challenges and opportunities. This small-scale evaluative study involved a survey of 70 respondents and a focus group of ten students in a private HEI in Oman to explore their FL experience in English modules. The depiction of this experience represented positive responses emphasizing how FL technology-enhanced individualized/experiential learning reinforced in life-long learning skills suitable for career practice. Recommendations are offered for LMS to facilitate enhanced flipped teaching implementation, promoting a student-centered environment ideal for a broader approach of active learning in HEI contexts.

“…Their progress in learning can be easily tracked too through the analytics (Becker, Rodriguez, Estrada, & Davis, 2016). Recent trends in education technology such as usage of interactive multimedia-based authoring content, game-based learning, use of free and open-source tools, and other technologies such as machine learning, has revolutionized the teaching and learning process (Naidu, Singh, Al Farei, & Al Suqri, 2020;Sharma & Naidu, 2020;Poloju & Naidu, 2020). AI applications have brought in adaptive or immersive learning.…”

The technology-assisted teaching and learning process has seen a spurt in growth in the last two decades. The education technology field has rapidly embraced new tools and techniques to enhance the student learning experience. With the evolution of multimedia elements such as digital images, audio, video, graphics, and animation, the learning supported by technology has made learning flexible and accessible in terms of time and place. With Wi-Fi enabled campuses, it is much easier for students to learn using their smart devices enabled by hypermedia content. Hypermedia, also known as active media, is the multimedia content that brings in interactivity, where the user can interact with the system, rather than viewing the content in passive mode. This helps in generating a dialogue between the system and user, sustaining user interest. Some examples of hypermedia are interactive quizzes, games, interactive videos, etc. This study aims to investigate and evaluate four interactive tools, namely FluentU, Duolingo, Livemocha, and Hello English, which are designed for language learning. A qualitative assessment of the applications, including a review of past literature on language learning using tools, was undertaken. The expert evaluation or assessment was done using Jakob Nielsen's ten heuristics or design guidelines. The objective was to compare the applications by measuring their usability against the standard heuristics. The goal of any usability study is user satisfaction. Through this interface evaluation, the researchers have concluded for designers that could be considered during future development of hypermedia-based tools.

“…MEC was well equipped in advance and did not face any difficulties in adapting to the new norms. The Streaming Server and eDify support the environment, aligning with the blended teaching and learning model [5]. MEC is also having a partnership with Coventry University UK, where they are using Aula as their blended mode of teaching.…”

The study investigates the nature and degree of influence of the range of application usability variables on the learning experience of the students at a specific institution of higher education institution in Oman. The study was carried out via eDify implementation encompassing the usability variables and learning experience of the students. Literature does little to suggest the aforementioned relationship in the context of the Omani higher education. The current study would reveal the variables that are critical to effective technology-based learning of the students. The implications generated through the study would allow the institution involved in the study to effectively implement the variables required for enhanced teaching and learning. The methodology used in the study is divided into an exploratory and the main research. Principal component analysis and a range of regression analyses are conducted to test the relationships between the independent and the dependent variable, “learning experience”. Results suggest that the usability variables have both positive and significant effects on the dependent variable of the learning experience. One usability variable that stands out more than others is the usage of mobile media.
