This chapter aims to explain seamless learning with regard to motivational issues and ethical usage of technology in the context of a mobile and ubiquitous Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). The examined TEL environment consisted of a popular technology integration project in Turkey called FATIH (in English, The Movement to Enhance Opportunities and Improve Technology). The FATIH project aims to provide students with opportunities for self-regulated, mobile, and ubiquitous learning via tablet computers, technology-rich classroom environments, and online digital sources. This chapter investigates and presents findings on the effects of technology-enhanced learning environments in terms of students' motivation and ethical issues during their interaction with the learning environment and community.

Since its introduction by Mishra and Kohler in 2006, there is no consensus in the results of the studies examining structure of TPACK. Recently, some studies have focused on TPACK self-efficacy (TPACK-SE) beliefs. We aimed to validate factor structure of TPACK-SE and reveal the relations among the components. A structural equation model (SEM) formed in light of TPA...
