The advancement of educational technology enables universities to provide various online courses to fit the needs of different learners. However, the question is – how do adult learners learn in this digital age, especially for those who had learned and developed their digital skills through experience and by self-exploring at their workplace? As such, a case study in Malaysia was conducted to examine learning experiences exhibited by middle-aged learners, also known as digital immigrants, in an e-learning environment. Fourteen new students from the first semester of a first-year programme in a private university, with ages ranging from 40–55 years, participated in the study. Face-to-face interviews were conducted and observations were performed in Learning Management System (LMS) and WhatsApp groups for a semester. This study has pointed out that the digital immigrants require human-to-human interaction in e-learning. The forming of virtual groups using the WhatsApp application is also very important to digital immigrants. Conclusively, blended learning mode in the e-learning environment which still allows interaction between humans is still the best choice for these digital immigrants, while technology is an alternative tool for the learners to complete their studies.

The aim of this study is to examine the level of individual innovation and the professional innovativeness tendencies of the classroom teacher candidates. Scanning model was used in the research. The population of the study consists of 192 pre-service teachers studying in the faculty of education. Kiliçer and Odabasi’s (2010) Turkish adaptaion of "Individual Innovativeness Scale" and "Professional Innovativeness Tendencies Scale" developed by Yilmaz, Sogukçesme, Ayhan, Tuncay, Sancar ve Deniz (2014) and personal data form is used as a data collection tool. The mean points of individual innovation of teacher candidates is found at low levels. While the individual innovation points of the classroom teachers differ according to the level of the father education, it is found that the professional innovation tendencies differ according to the grade level. It was concluded that there was a moderate, positive and significant relationship between the individual innovation points of the classroom teachers and the professional innovativeness tendencies. In this respect, the participation of classroom teacher candidates should be encouraged for scientific activities such as conferences, seminars and workshops on topics such as innovation, creativity, problem solving and critical thinking.

This article reports an examination of information and communication technology (ICT) integration in teaching and learning activities in higher education in Nepal. ICT education policy by the government of Nepal emphasises the need to develop teachers’ ICT competencies and suggests the use of ICT will transform traditional models of teaching to ones that are student-centred. The case study reported the lack of clear strategy to implement the ICT education policy and to fund for the ICT infrastructure and professional development of university staff to integrate ICT in teacher education. In this case, the Faculty of Education in the university, where there is no funding from the government and university for the ICT in education project, received funding from an international organisation to install ICT infrastructure and provide ICT training for teachers and other staff. It is argued that, to realise the policy in practice, more sustainable mechanisms need to be developed to provide ICT facilities for teachers and to train them how to use ICT in teaching activities.

In general, students still have problems in learning Physics, especially on the concept of kinematics of rectilinear motions. One way for students to easily understand the concept is with the help of learning media using technology. This study aims to analyze the needs of infographic media for physics learning of the concept kinematics of rectilinear motions, especially for the concept of uniform rectilinear motion and accelerated uniform motion in Senior High School. This research was conducted to teachers, students, and document analysis, namely syllabus and list of instructional media at Senior High School in Sambas district using interview technique, observation, and documentation study. Researcher use triangulation and membercheck to ensure the validity of the findings of this study. The results showed that based on document analysis showed the lack of supporting books and no instructional media for the kinematics of rectilinear motions concept in selected schools and based on interviews to teachers and students that they are very interested in infographic learning media and are in need of infographic as a medium of Physics learning, the concept of kinematics rectilinear motions. The intended infographic media will be well packaged and accessible via facebook social media and backed up using smartphones as a learning tool for learners.
