“…Within this context, WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone application that permits communication through sending instant messages, videos, photos and podcasts and location (Aal, Parmar, Patel, & Sen, 2014;Barhoumi, 2015). The learning process takes place through tools such as WhatsApp due to the continuous exchange of meaning and varied types of interactions among participants (Alvarez & Olivera-Smith, 2013;Hamat, Embi, & Hassan, 2012;Suanpang, 2012). The online chat platform might help students feel confident and at ease with their peers (Öngün & Demirag, 2015).…”

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the online teacher- students’ interactions using WhatsApp, an instant messaging tool, and to identify the students’ view towards the use of that tool in a law course from a higher education institution in Colombia. Background: WhatsApp is a trending tool that is ultimately being used in academic contexts. However, little research is known on the types of interactions that occur when teachers are involved in student conversation groups. Methodology: This is a mixed- method study. Participants completed an opinion survey in order to establish students’ satisfaction towards the use of WhatsApp to complement face-to- face classes, a focus group to explore in depth the students´ opinions and acceptance of the WhatsApp tool for academic purposes and a chat conversation register to analyze the different types of interactions. The sample included 166 Law students. Contribution: Our contribution is to enrich the current literature on the interactions between teachers and students in a virtual environment where teachers can monitor the different academic tasks, coordinate in real time and analyze the students’ interactions that impact on the students’ ´learning process. Findings: The findings found in this research reveal that the different interactions between students and teachers in order to facilitate learning should be valued not only the relationships of knowledge construction, but also the social and interdependence presences due to the fact that in traditional learning processes they are not usually taken into account. Recommendations for Practitioners: The results of our research give evidence of how students in each subgroup (Plaintiffs, Defendant or Judges) diversify the use of the WhatsApp tool. Whether it is to organize, coordinate meetings, plan work, make quick inquiries, clear doubts, share messages and especially be able to communicate in real time and directly with the teacher, thus facilitating the learning process in the classroom. Recommendation for Researchers: This study identified that law university students appear to have a special preference for the WhatsApp tool, thanks to the immediacy of being able to coordinate tasks and communicate with the teacher, in comparison to using other technological means such as email. We recommend continuing to explore the use of WhatsApp in other different disciplines in order to compare the teacher-student interactions. Impact on Society: The analysis of academic interactions through WhatsApp may lead to further exploration of innovative forms of communication of teachers with their millennial students and new teacher roles to design constructive learning environments. Future Research: Future studies are suggested with regard to this topic and it would be interesting to carry out research work that deeply analyzes the role the instructor plays when participating in a WhatsApp chat group with academic purposes and how it may condition the way students interact.

Learning Media is one of the essential aspects in creating a meaningful and good quality learning process. The use of mobile device in the learning process is called mobile learning (m-learning). It is deﬁned as a learning in which the learners are demanded to be active or moving to places by utilizing a mobile technology device. The existence of m-learning is indeed unable to substitute e-learning (electronic learning) let alone replacing face-to-face meeting in a class. M-learning is intended to complement the learning took place in a class. It also helps the students to re-learn the material they have not understood anywhere and anytime they want. This surely provides novel learning experience for the students. Developing Mobile Learning Media (MLM) is the alternatives in providing the most suitable and effective media in this era. The type of research used in this study is the developing method of SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) of Waterfall. According to the FGD conducted with elementaryteachersinKaliwunguDistrictKendal,thediscussionleadtotheneedupon android-based MLM was in mathematics subject. The researcher then developed the media with the materials that the students needed. This media had been validated by the experts of material, media, and children psychology. Based on the test conducted for the media, it presented that the media is feasible to be used. The try out for the Android-based MLM-media was limitedly administered to ten students of Fifth Grade and one teacher, and try out was conducted successfully and showed positive results.

“…Connected technologies, such as online learning, video conferencing, and text messages allow learners to connect to each other and to experts (Hew & Brush, 2007) and have been used effectively in the fields of education and prevention to provide training and technical assistance and to promote beneficial practices (Downer, Kraft-Sayre, & Pianta, 2009;Vernon-Feagans, Kainz, Hedrick, Ginsberg & Amendum, 2013;Warren, et al, 2006). Mobile learning makes information and online resources more accessible to learners, and fosters greater social interaction (Suanpang, 2012).…”

This demonstration study explored the use of connected technologies in a continuous quality improvement (CQI) approach to implementing evidence-based practices in after-school. Focusgroup with staff indicated enjoyment of technology and offered feedback for future development. Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) were gathered daily. Three randomized conditions were compared among 4 programs and 12 staff implementing PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX GBG). ANOVA, Post-Hoc Tukey and Chi-square analyses indicated that the tech-enhanced condition showed better implementation using scoreboards than the in-person, while similar in game length. Both were superior to the control in behavioral strategies; highlighting the promise of technology in capacity-building.
