The dynamic and fast-growing research literature is currently decreasing research student ability to pinpoint the relevant information and easily develop critical reflectivity. This article describes the experience of a beginner doctoral researcher using science mapping to perform efficiently a comprehensive literature review. The reported review includes the methodological steps, lessons learned, and difficulties faced under challenging review conditions: lack of any third-party support, lack of bibliometric training, and lack of reviewer research experience. The reported experience showed positive results in term of efficiency, rigor, time/effort, and learning value and highlighted how the process induced in the doctoral researcher self-learning, innovative thinking, reflectivity, and a push for novelty comparing to classical literature reviews. This experience successfully assesses science mapping as an educational technology tool for reviewing literature for lay researchers. The paper is a call to disseminate science mapping in doctoral courses as a learning-by-doing educational approach for literature reviews.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of students' meaning‐making processes, as they are part of an e‐assessment practice via written blog posting upon their own, and their co‐students' performances, presented online through shared video media.Design/methodology/approachThe research relies on qualitative data to provide an analysis of students' use of the educational technology tool called VoiceThread©. These data were provided by collecting Swedish higher education students' postings and comments in relation to two video clips published in VoiceThread. The formal learning sequence model by Selander together with theories on communication and reflection were used in the analysis.FindingsThe data and the analysis show that shared video media and blogging embrace a potential to facilitate communication and reflection among online higher education students. In addition, the design of the course seems to strengthen the use of formative e‐assessment.Research limitations/implicationsThe research reported on in this paper should, preferably, be followed by additional research on educational technology, social software and e‐assessment; informed design of practices of formative e‐assessment; and the role of formative e‐assessment in the facilitating and enhancement of the students' learning and meaning‐making processes.Practical implicationsThis paper provides researched‐based ideas of ways in which teachers in online higher education can design their courses, if they want to cultivate the students' communicative and reflective skills.Originality/valueThis paper provides an important insight into the use of shared video media and blogging in online higher education, especially, the way it can be designed for within a formative e‐assessment course approach.

The inclusion of technology in the academic processes has led to constant innovation and investment of resources to offer a first-level educational service, with international standards, methodologies, study plans, and last generation laboratories. This paper focuses on how teachers can make use of an educational technology tool that will allow them to identify patterns that are associated with learning based on human-computer interaction. We present evidence of learning outcomes based on the detection of behaviors in Intelligent Tutoring Systems. These patterns pave the way for the auto-matic identification of patterns in association to students’ learning while using an educational technological tool. The results suggest a model for student’s behavior identification when interacting with the technological tool “Scooter”. This model identifies students with prospective better learning outcomes as well as students with difficulties to solve math prob-lems. Work for the future will analyze data that comes from different set-tings apart from solving exercises in Scooter to prove the hypothesis that there are patterns of behavior associated to learning outcomes in different problem-solving situations presented by educational technology.

Column Editor's Note: Welcome to the inaugural issue of the ATEJ Educational Technology Column (ETC). This first issue of the ETC is monumental in that it continues the legacy of the athletic training profession's commitment to educational technology. Educational technology has been a frequent topic in the ATEJ. A quick skim of the ATEJ archive reveals keywords such as DVD, mobile learning, online assessment, web-based database, and computer-based training CPR. The goal of the ETC is to provide a compendium of affordable, easy-to-use, time-saving educational technology tools for the athletic training educator. Each issue of the ETC will be dedicated to a specific theme and paired with a set of tools which can be used by you, the athletic training educator, for teaching, learning and/or administrative purposes. The ETC will provide understandable reviews of the advantages, disadvantages, and practical applications for each tool. A typical column will provide a hypothetical problem and technology tool solution. The ultimate goal of the ETC is to provide solutions to real problems faced by educators while saving you time, money, and frustration that often accompanies the process of finding the right technology solution.
