Poor academic performance remains among the most concerning educational issues, especially in higher education and online learning. To address the concern, institutions like the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) leverage educational data mining (EDM) techniques to generate relevant information from learning management systems (LMS)…

Institutions of higher education possess large amounts of learning-related data in their student registers and learning management systems (LMS). This data can be mined to gain insights into study paths, study styles and possible bottlenecks on the study paths. In this study, we focused on creating a predictive model for study completion time…

Interactions among students in online learning environments are difficult to monitor but can be crucial for their academic performance. Moodle is one of the best and most popular online learning platforms, where its log records can reveal important information on students' engagement and the respective performance. This study examines the degree…

The syllabus is a required document for all courses to provide students with course information, policies, and assignment deadlines. The goals of this study were to investigate students' perception of the role of the syllabus, preferred location of assignment deadlines, and preferred style of receiving deadline notifications. Faculty (n = 14) and…

Undergraduate first-year courses are often mandatory for students in a variety of majors and degrees. Many students view these core courses as of little interest and relevance, which is associated with lack of motivation for study and can lead to cheating. Contract cheating in text-based is difficult to detect and prove. Contract cheating in…

This paper describes a neural network model that can be used to detect at- risk students failing a particular course using only grade book data from a learning management system. By analyzing data extracted from the learning management system at the end of week 5, the model can predict with an accuracy of 88% whether the student will pass or fail…

Student engagement is a growing challenge within higher education, especially as technology continues to evolve and competition for attention rises. As a business discipline, many marketing students struggle to connect with the theory presented in the classroom and seek interactive, experiential learning opportunities. The authors created the…

The focus of this research was measuring the effect of Twitter use in the classroom on students' acceptance of technology using the TAM-3 model. This mixed methods study revealed a significant effect from students' use of Twitter in classroom assignments not only on increasing candidates' view of Twitter as being useful, easy to use, and relevant…

While eLearning digital homework platforms have been around for several years, it was only during the COVID pandemic that they moved to the mainstream as face-to-face teaching was replaced by hybrid and even fully online course delivery. Teachers have used the eLearning platforms to reach students remotely yet there has been little research on…

This empirical study uses a random forest algorithm to examine the factors that influence learners' persistence in online learning at a prominent Korean institution. The data were collected from students who began their studies in Spring 2021, and encompassed a range of variables including individual attributes, academic engagement, academic…

This study explores the learning needs of international students at a Canadian private university. Through a qualitative content analysis of 580 students' emails, we identified and examined 819 requests and complaints The analysis highlighted trends about due dates, assignment resubmissions, regrading, and plagiarism issues, leading to the…

The purpose of the study is to present the Beehive Interactive Learning Model (BILM) and to provide an example of its application in an undergraduate statistics course. The model is developed by the researcher, who is a professor in Educational Measurement and Evaluation area in Turkey with over 15 years of teaching experience. The model is based…

Background and context: Pair programming and oral exams were deployed in tandem in a remote undergraduate computer programming course to promote social interaction and enhance learning. Objectives: We investigate their impact on social interactions, sense of connection, academic performance, and academic integrity within a virtual learning…

The study was planned to explore the challenges faced by distance learners during paperless assignment process. This initiative was introduced a couple of years ago at a distance learning university in Pakistan. Target population comprised on distance learners of M. Phil Education and MBA (col) sessions 2017 to 2019 programs running online through…

The purposes of research were to comparison of digital technology used for the instructional management during the COVID-19 pandemic during the New Normal period and the endemic COVID-19 during Next Normal period adopted by pre-service teachers; and to develop the landscape of digital technology used for instructional management during the New…
