Interactive videos are frequently employed in education. Although several reviews and syntheses indicate that interactively engaging with videos might benefit learning, up until now no quantitative synthesis of the effectiveness of enhanced interaction features in educational videos has been published. Enhanced interaction features explicitly aim…

Distance learning and online learning have become the new educational paradigm. Based on synchronicity, online learning environments can be classified into synchronous and asynchronous online learning. However, previous evidence demonstrating the effects of these two online learning modalities on students' academic achievement has been…

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely used in the field of education, and artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) has gained increasing attention. However, no quantitative meta-analysis has been conducted on the overall effectiveness of AI on learning achievement and learning perception. To close this research…

Gamified flipped classroom (GFC) is becoming more and more popular. Is it more effective than traditional flipped learning? This meta-analysis explores the effects of GFC on students' learning based on 17 high-quality experimental articles. The results suggest that GFC has an upper-medium positive effect on students' learning (SMD = 0.769, p <…

The study aimed to conduct a systematic literature review to identify the trends, impacts, and challenges of mobile microlearning (MML) research. Using five academic databases from the fields of social science, engineering, and medical science as search sources, 26 scholarly articles, published between 2015 and 2020, were retrieved. The study…

The present study was conducted to investigate and confirm the efficacy of educational technologies that could facilitate reading and writing development (affordances). It also investigates and reports on problems with these educational technologies that could limit reading and writing development (challenges) in a technology-assisted language…

With the development of education technology, Smart classroom has evolved to version 2.0. Currently, the meta-analysis literature on the effects of smart classroom-based instruction on academic achievement ignores the impact of technological changes and time on the effect sizes. This study incorporated the impact of technological changes and time,…

Online scientific argumentation activities have significant value for students' cognitive ability. The purpose of this study was to solve the issues of online scientific argumentation. Firstly, the influences of online scientific argumentation were classified into "Learn to Argue" and "Argue to Learn" abilities. And then the…

The infusion and diffusion of the interactive whiteboard (IWB) has attracted considerable interest in educational contexts over the past years. However, research to date has been controversial with regard to the effectiveness of IWB-based instruction on cognitive learning outcomes. This study identified empirical publications that examine…

This study reviewed the published papers on the flipped classroom in nursing education from 2010 to 2017, and tabulated the collected data from various aspects: "before-class stage/ in-class stage/ after-class stage learning strategies," "application domains," "research issues," "participants,"…

The chatbot has been increasingly applied and investigated in education, along with many review studies from different aspects. However, few reviews have been conducted on chatbot-assisted learning from the pedagogical and implementational aspects, which may provide implications for future application and investigation of educational chatbots. To…

Whether gamification is an organized structure that contributes to student achievement, a simple pontification process or total nonsense is a matter of debate. In such, this study was conducted to provide a scientific answer while exhibiting the gamification effect on student achievement with the meta-analysis method, which is based on…

The present study aims to investigate the trends of mobile learning in physical education by reviewing the journal publications from the Scopus database. Several dimensions, including application domains, adopted mobile devices, research methods, research subjects, adopted teaching strategies, research issues, and learning locations are taken into…

This article explores some of the literature on blended/hybrid learning and identifies recommendations for instructional designers and faculty. Terminology and definitions are discussed first including the debate between the words "blended" and "hybrid." A working definition for the article is discussed but the article does not…
