The purpose of this study is to introduce educational technology project, OZTEK, for special education students and present usability issues related to those developed technologies. With the OZTEK, the researchers intend to develop innovative, technology enhanced learning environments to support the education of children with such special needs and to investigate effectiveness of such learning environments. Within the scope of the OZTEK, to provide support for special education, various instructional technologies have been developed, which are unique in terms of innovation regarding not only in Turkey but also other countries in the world. Throughout the project the following products will be developed which can either be used separately as standalone tools or together as a whole obtained by integration to each other: Interactive multimedia educational software that will detect body movements, interactive multi-touch table/board, applications and smart/interactive toys. In this paper, the findings regarding how computer supported educational materials for special education have been developed, what kind of usability challenges were faced with, how challenges have been overcome and how those technologies are used by teachers and students are presented.

Construction of an educational technology engagement model for social learning platforms
Bulut, İbrahim Hakkı; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019)
The purpose of this study is to propose a technology model, called Educational Technology Engagement Model (ETEM), towards the student adoption of a social learning platform -Edmodo-. The study offers a guideline, which requires a theoretical understanding of underlying motivational processes for technology adoption, to demonstrate how a model can be designed and developed for a particular technology using a process-based approach. This study aims to provide a comprehensive model to address the limitations ...

Baser, Derya; Ozden, M. Yasar; Karaaslan, Hasan (2017-06-01)
Background: Blending collaborative learning and project-based learning (PBL) based on Wolff (2003) design categories, students interacted in a learning environment where they developed their technology integration practices as well as their technological and collaborative skills.Purpose: The study aims to understand how seventh grade students perceive a collaborative web-based science project in light of Wolff's design categories. The goal of the project is to develop their technological and collaborative s...
An engagement and motivation model for online learning technologies
BULUT, İBRAHİM HAKKI; Delialioğlu, Ömer (2022-12-01)
The aim of this study is to construct a technology model, named as Online Learning Technology Engagement Model (OLTEM), to enhance our understanding in the adoption of an online learning technology. The study suggests a model covering the theoretical background of underlying motivational processes for technology engagement of students. The sample of the study are 533 students from 4 public universities in Turkey. The constructed model is validated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural eq...
In-service Preschool Teachers' Thoughts about Technology and Technology Use in Early Educational Settings
Kara, Nuri; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2017)
The purpose of this study is to understand in-service preschool teachers’ thoughts about technology and technology use in early educational settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 in-service preschool teachers. These teachers were selected from public and private preschools. Convenient sampling was applied because teachers who were eager to attend the study were selected. Content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. Based on the content analysis, eleven main themes as to tech...
