Nowadays, the limitations of media in geo-environmental learning present a significant challenge, as media plays an indispensable role in fostering students’ comprehensive understanding. Employing technology capable of delivering comprehensive landscape information is crucial for effective environmental education. Utilizing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and 360-degree panoramic cameras represents a judicious technological choice, which can be seamlessly integrated into virtual tours. This research aims to develop a Mobile Virtual Tour (Movie-Tour) as a medium to support learning, especially for materials regarding environmental geography. The research and development (RnD) method is used in research with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). Data collection for the development of the product involved conducting a need assessment, performing validation tests and conducting trials with students. To gather field data for creating environmental geography materials for the Movie-Tour product, we utilized an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a 360-degree stereoscopic camera. The results demonstrate that Movie- Tour is an educational medium capable of delivering an immersive learning experience and comprehensive materials, allowing for the virtual visualization of real-world conditions in the field. This capability enhances students’ engagement in exploring physical geography conditions, fosters independent knowledge acquisition, and nurtures their innate curiosity. Movie-Tour stands as a potent and practical educational tool, offering an effective and secure learning experience for students, eliminating the need for direct field visits.

The rapid increase in new challenges of the combination of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), which are emerging technologies, can play a compelling role in prompting the development of artificial intelligence Internet of Things (AIoT). Therefore, the demand for AI competencies for everyone will increase. Educational institutes focus on encouraging AI education because the demand for AI-literate workers will increase in the industrial sector. However, teachers’ lack of AI knowledge is a significant barrier to AI education. Thus, developing the teacher’s AI competencies and educating them about how to use and teach students is critical. In this study, we proposed artificial intelligence of things professional development (AIoT-PD) training to prepare the AI competencies of teachers ready to teach. A quasi-experimental design with a two-day training workshop was conducted among 13 teachers to examine its impact on AI competencies, including AI knowledge, AI skill, and AI attitude. The quantitative data were collected via a pretest and posttest after the training activity, while qualitative data were collected via interviews. This study showed that teachers’ AI knowledge significantly improved. These findings revealed the AIoT training workshop’s effectiveness in enhancing teachers’ AI competencies, which can help them effectively teach students in AI education.

Recently, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged as a significant breakthrough in the healthcare sector due to their immense potential to revolutionize health outcomes. This type of network is able to support a diverse range of applications with traffic rates ranging from several bits per hour up to 10 megabits per second. The challenge lies in accommodating this wide range of applications and meeting their distinct requirements using a single suitably flexible medium access control protocol. In response to this challenge, our paper proposes a novel Traffic Adaptive MAC protocol designed specifically for the regular traffic of WBANs. This innovative protocol dynamically adapts its operation based on the observed traffic, leading to significant efficiency gains compared to the standardized MAC protocols IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6. Our contribution aims to address the critical need for a tailored and adaptive MAC protocol that can seamlessly handle varying traffic loads within WBANs. By incorporating our protocol, we envision enhanced communication efficiency and improved performance, unlocking new possibilities for healthcare applications and ultimately revolutionizing the healthcare industry.

Secondary school teachers’ attitudes towards online learning tools have been modified by systemic measures adopted in the school network as a result of COVID-19. This unexpected crisis situation forced schools to quickly implement digital infrastructure and look for optimal methods of online education. The aim of this study is to investigate on which factors (gender, age and subject area taught) the use of online tools for teaching activities depends. The aim is also to explore the subjective emotional experience of teachers when using online tools and the reasons of their perceived stress in distance education in the Covid era. The factors influencing the use of online tools for teaching, teachers’ subjective emotional experiences of using online tools, and the reasons for teachers’ perceived burden in distance education in the COVID era are analyzed using Welch’s ANOVA test and Games-Howell’s Post-Hoc test. The correlation values focused on teachers’ perceived feelings using online teaching tools are calculated by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The results are directed towards the level of teachers’ emotional experience in the context of using online tools for the respective activity. Satisfaction and well-being are experienced by teachers when explaining, activating students, assigning written work, and providing information resources. The study identified a major problem in education, which is the use of online tools for oral examinations. Another problem is the integration of homework into online education. The study has practical impact on the integration of teachers’ digital competences. A holistic approach should be developed in teacher training, seeking to fully integrate digital competences, and social and health aspects should also be taken into account.

Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. The study’s findings revealed a variety of causes that contributed to students’ resistance to using DEP. These causes include the students’ lack of readiness to learn through DEP, the DEP’s failure to comply with international design standards, the inadequate physical and technical teaching environment, and the limited digital competencies of teachers needed in the virtual learning environment. Given the findings of this research, the researchers advise that additional consideration should be given to the design of DEP. They also advise providing students with appropriate guidance in the usage of educational platforms.","PeriodicalId":507995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)","volume":"12 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139437726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
