The Effectiveness of E-learning and AI applications (Gamma, Padlet, Classroom) in Developing the Educational Process
Keywords:
Gamma application, Padlet application, Classroom application, e-learning, educational processAbstract
This study explores the impact of Gamma, Padlet, and Classroom applications on students at different academic levels and majors. It explores the effectiveness of these online learning applications in the development of the educational process, revealing the students’ attitudes of accessibility, interactivity and skill development, with significant variations across academic majors and levels. The participants comprised 85 female students from diverse academic majors at the Women's College of Seiyun University, Yemen (Kindergarten Education, English Language, Islamic Studies, Special Education), spanning various academic levels (from first-year to fourth-year). The results indicate that the initial hypothesis suggesting a difference in students' attitudes towards e-learning tools based on their academic level is not supported. However, the hypothesis that students' attitudes towards e-learning tools vary by major is confirmed. Results also indicate an overall positive attitude of these tools in terms of ease of use, access to educational resources, and perceived effectiveness, although a slight preference for traditional learning methods persists. To maximize the benefits of online learning applications, it is essential to improve technology training and personalize learning experiences while using Gamma and Padlet applications to avoid negative effects on student motivation and satisfaction.References
