Authentic assessment aligns higher education with the practices of students' future professions, which are increasingly digitally mediated. However, previous frameworks for authentic assessment appear not to explicitly address how authenticity intersects with a broader digital world. This critical scoping review describes how the digital has been…

Digital technology and literacy can heighten the transformation of teaching and learning in higher education institutions (HEIs). This study uncovers the extent to which "digital technologies" have been used to advance the teaching and learning process in HEIs, and the barriers and bottlenecks to why it may not have been effectively…

The present study came through its topic: The Importance of E-learning in teaching Mathematics to explore the use of students in the educational learning process, I tried to add to the results of previous studies by revealing more the nature of the use of the Internet as well as the nature of e-learning among students. The researcher attempted to…

The availability of large-scale learning data presents unprecedented opportunities for investigating student learning processes. However, it is challenging for instructors to fully make sense of this data and effectively support their teaching practices. This study introduces LearningViz, an interactive learning analytics dashboard to help…

The main goal of this research is to enhance the understanding of quality criteria for DB metadata for assessment and recognition as factors increasing their value in higher education (HE). To attain this goal, a case study approach centered in one HE institution was used, aiming (a) at an analysis of the "status quo" description of…
