This study explores the influence of Learning Management System (LMS) course site design on student failure and withdrawal rates (DFW) in undergraduate courses in a residential hybrid educational context. We used multiple linear regression analysis to explore the interactions between course-level DFW, enrollment, student satisfaction, and counts…

In digitalized learning processes, learning analytics (LA) can help teachers make pedagogically sound decisions and support pupils' self-regulated learning (SRL). However, research on the role of the pedagogical dimensions of learning design (LD) in influencing the possibilities of LA remains scarce. Primary school presents a unique LA context…

This study explores the pedagogical implications of student-led course design using two widely adopted freemium learning management systems "(LMSs): MoodleCloud" and "Google Classroom." In a university-level ICT module at Complutense University of Madrid, students were tasked with designing parallel virtual classrooms using…

To meet student demand for responsive, adaptable, and up-to-date online courses, educators and learning designers need tools to analyse student interactions with their peers, educators and learning resources. Learning Management Systems (LMSs) store large volumes of detailed user data, but offer only limited, pre-set reports and visualizations to…

Opportunities and concerns regarding the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in higher education have evolved along with them. A concern is how their use could support the higher-order learning appropriate for higher education. Grounded in the conversational framework, this case study explored how reflective practice could be fostered in a…

Mothers of the digital era, as their children's media educators, need to acquire media literacy skills more than ever. Despite the importance of media literacy training for mothers, there has been limited research in this field.

To improve the online learning experience, adaptive learning technologies are being used to personalise learning content to suit individual learning needs, with learning analytics being integrated to collect data about the student usage behaviour on the platform. Research indicates that the adaptive learning platforms promote a supportive learning…

The recent popularity of computational thinking (CT) and the desire to apply CT in our daily lives have prompted the need for a successful pedagogical technique for learning CT in K-12 education. The application of co-design pedagogical techniques has the potential to improve students' CT learning through knowledge sharing and the creation of…

This article reports on the results of an investigation into what matters to learners of language Massive Open Online Courses (LMOOCs). The study conducted content and sentiment analyses of learner reviews of LMOOCs to investigate the key themes/subthemes in learner reviews and learners' emotional tendencies in the themes/subthemes as well as…

In the teaching of math-fact automaticity, most classroom teachers are unaware of research-based practices such as the use of a controlled response time, the scaffolded teaching of individual math facts, the limiting of exposure to new math facts, the separation of math facts with common operands, and even the definition of automaticity. As a…

With the development of big data technology, higher education is transitioning towards intelligence and ecology. University English teaching, constrained by traditional models, faces challenges such as unmet student needs, inefficient resource allocation, and insufficient teacher-student interaction. Big data, through data collection, real-time…

Using a qualitative multiple-case study design, this study explored the strategies employed by five Chinese teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to design activities that incorporate digital tools and visuals, aiming to enhance parent-involved interactions in online language learning settings. Grounded theory analysis of teachers'…

As online education grows, ensuring accessibility for diverse and marginalized learners has become increasingly critical. This study investigated faculty perceptions of Anthology Ally, a tool designed to enhance the accessibility of online course materials by identifying and resolving accessibility issues.
