Eleni Dermentzi – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Degree apprenticeships (DA) help employees gain new knowledge and skills by allowing them to study towards a university degree while working full time. For these programmes to be effective, the learning design should be adapted to the needs of these students, who are goal oriented (i.e. they want to gain only knowledge that can be…

Tsay, Crystal Han-Huei; Kofinas, Alexander K.; Trivedi, Smita K.; Yang, Yang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Learners in the higher education context who engage with computer-based gamified learning systems often experience the novelty effect: a pattern of high activity during the gamified system's introduction followed by a drop in activity a few weeks later, once its novelty has worn off. We applied a two-tiered motivational, online gamified learning…
