In contemporary societies, the processes of transindividuation by which knowledges are transformed into cycles and rhythms of metastability have been dramatically short-circuited. In turn, this has provoked the spiritual misery and pseudo-fabulations so prevalent all around us, including our educational contexts. For Stiegler, this is nothing…

Though online peer assessment is recognized as a critical factor in enhancing learning performance, pedagogical strategies and analysis of students' peer assessment at the group level, rather than the individual level, are underexplored. Online group assessment (OGA) focuses on assessing peer-group work in an online environment. A total of 64…

Cognitive presence is a core construct of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. It is considered crucial for deep and meaningful online-based learning. CoI-based real-time dashboards visualizing students' cognitive presence may help instructors to monitor and support students' learning progress. Such real-time classifiers are often based on…

Prior research on the "Community of Inquiry" (CoI) framework has a limited amount of work which uses structural techniques to confirm the factorial structure of the CoI. The current study investigates the structural relationships among the three elements of the CoI framework (cognitive presence, teaching presence, and social presence),…

In a world overflowing with information, how can we adapt our learning methods to thrive? Dave Cormier, a pioneering figure in digital education, presents a thought-provoking manifesto in "Learning in a Time of Abundance." A leading voice in digital learning, Cormier offers a fresh perspective on how we can face the uncertainty of a…

Lifelong learning is emerging as a key priority for promoting equity and sustainability in societies. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a fundamental requirement for achieving successful lifelong learning, and digitization is increasingly influential in this regard. This mixed-methods study explores the degree to which adaptive learning technology…

The evolution of individual and global learning preferences is influenced by correlation factors. This study introduces a novel evolutionary modeling approach to observe and analyze factors that affect the evolution of learning preferences. The influencing factors considered in this study are closely interwoven with the underlying personality of…

Background: Although adding embodied instructors on the screen is considered an effective way to improve online multimedia learning, its effectiveness is still controversial. The level of realism of embodied on-screen instructors may be an influencing factor, but it is unclear how it affects multimedia learning. Aims: We explored whether and how…

Understanding the transitions among affective states during computer-based learning may guide the design of affect-responsive learning environments. Current studies have focused on the marginal strength of an affect transition, which is the average transition tendency over possible affective states preceding the transition. However, marginal…

The empirical study investigates what log files and process mining can contribute to promoting successful learning. We want to show how monitoring and evaluation of learning processes can be implemented in the educational life by analyzing log files and navigation behavior. Thus, we questioned to what extent log file analyses and process mining…

This article focuses on the practical implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in an online computer science course, articulating the collaborative efforts between the instructional designer (the first author) and the faculty member to redesign the course using UDL principles. Specific instances of redesigned learning modules and…

Background: Although it is well established that students' adaptive reactions towards errors promote learning outcomes, little is still known about the role of error feedback in promoting these reactions. Aim: Through a targeted intervention based on an online teaching unit, this study aimed at testing whether supportive error feedback promotes…

COVID-19 greatly increased the online delivery of higher education. But one limitation of online learning is that students often struggle to stay engaged while watching online lectures. We examined whether including an instructor's face in lecture videos (instructor visibility) enhances student engagement or learning. In two preregistered…

With the rapid development of information technology, the internet has emerged as a pivotal driving force in reshaping higher education paradigms. This paper delves into clustering algorithms and proposes an enhanced version, exploring how this enhanced clustering algorithm can be applied to blended teaching of digital electronic technology…

This study aimed to investigate the views of students enrolled on a desktop publishing course of the flipped classroom model adapted to a design course conducted in an online learning environment. The model was implemented over one semester, and at the end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 65 volunteer students. Content analysis was…
