This work dwells on the problem of developing an algorithm aimed at ensuring the digital inclusion of a university that functions in the conditions of globalisation. To solve this problem, the key theoretical provisions are described and the sequence of evolution of a traditional university to the level of a digital inclusive establishment of…

With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), smart education has become an attractive topic. In a smart education system, automated classrooms and examination rooms could help reduce the economic cost of teaching, and thus improve teaching efficiency. However, existing AI algorithms suffer from low surveillance accuracies and high…

This exploratory study investigates the convergence of marketing communications and AI-powered technology in higher education, adopting a perspective on student interactions with generative AI tools. Through a comprehensive content analysis of learners' responses, we employed a blend of manual scrutiny, Python-generated Word Cloud, and Latent…

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education has revolutionised academic research and teaching, offered transformative opportunities while raising significant ethical challenges. This Delphi study investigates the ethical dilemmas and institutional requirements for maintaining academic integrity in AI-driven…

Purpose: This study examined how physical education majors used computational thinking (CT) skills in a movement concept course. Method: Twenty-two physical education majors were tasked to create two gymnastics routines (i.e., algorithm design), analyze their routines (i.e., decomposition and abstraction), create and follow a personalized fitness…

This research works on creating a hybrid Knowledge Recommendation System (KRS) for an Entrepreneurship Course using the Knowledge Graph (KG) and Clustering Technologies (CTs). The system aims at improving students' learning experience by providing relevant learning materials and even focusing on learner preferences. These results are already part…

Open education systems play a significant role in providing flexible and accessible learning opportunities to large student populations, independent of time and location. These systems achieve cost efficiency through the effective implementation of economies of scale, reducing unit costs as student numbers increase. However, decision-making in the…

Collaborative learning in tertiary education faces challenges such as limited teacher intervention and effective student pairing. This study addresses these issues by proposing a data-driven peer recommendation approach enhanced with learner profile visualisation. The system dynamically matches students based on evolving learning profiles, using…

This study examined 11 U.S. textbooks written for prospective teachers to investigate how standard decimal multiplication and division algorithms are presented, especially the rationale of both algorithms. Analytical frameworks of various methods used in different textbooks were developed. The findings suggest that half of the textbooks do not…

Explain-in-Plain-English (EiPE) questions are used by some researchers and educators to assess code reading skills. EiPE questions require students to briefly explain (in plain English) the purpose of a given piece of code, without restating what the code does line-by-line. The premise is that novices who can explain the purpose of a piece of code…

University Examination Timetabling Problem is the most important combinational problem to develop a conflict-free timetable to execute all of the exams in and with the limited timeslots and other resources for universities, colleges or schools. It is also an important Nondeterministic Polynomial Time (NP)-hard problem that has no deterministic…

Curricular design in higher education significantly impacts student success and institutional performance. However, academic programs' complexity--shaped by pass rates, prerequisite dependencies, and course repeat policies--creates challenges for administrators. This paper presents a method for modeling curricular pathways including development of…

This study aims to develop a comprehensive competency framework for artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, delineating essential competencies and sub-competencies. This framework and its potential variations, tailored to different learner groups (by educational level and discipline), can serve as a crucial reference for designing and implementing…

The PageRank model has been applied in sport ranking systems; however, prior implementations exhibited limitations and failed to produce valid rankings. This study analyzed 1,466 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 football games and developed a novel, modified PageRank model. We also proposed an artificial…

Knowledge Tracing (KT) models predicting student performance in intelligent tutoring systems have been successfully deployed in several educational domains. However, their usage in open-ended programming problems poses multiple challenges due to the complexity of the programming code and a complex interplay between syntax and logic requirements…
