In distance education courses with a large number of students and groups, the organization and facilitation of collaborative writing tasks are challenging. Teachers need support for planning, specification, execution, monitoring, and evaluation of collaborative writing tasks in their course. This requires a collaborative learning platform for…

Perusall is a relatively new online tool that engages students with content and each other. Within this social learning platform, students annotate content, ask questions, and respond to their peers. This commentary explains some key features of the platform as well as explores the benefits of using Perusall with college students. The authors also…

Digital learning platforms as scaffolds for learning in formal and informal educational scenarios have had few assessments to determine their acceptance and success in fostering high order thinking skills. The primary objective of this study was to develop, validate, and assess the reliability of an instrument designed to measure the acceptance of…

E-Learning is a means to support the digitalization of education that accommodates students' learning needs anytime and anywhere. The use of E-learning in higher education has become increasingly massive since the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher education institutions accommodate students' learning needs by utilizing self-developed LMS (Learning…

The evolving landscape of higher education demands integrating advanced technologies to foster engaging and inclusive learning environments. This paper examines the practical integration of Stellarium, a virtual planetarium software, and ChatGPT, an AI conversational agent, in an asynchronous online undergraduate astronomy course. Stellarium…

It may seem that learning platforms and systems are a tired topic for the academic community; however, with the recent advancements in artificial intelligence, they have become relevant to both current and future educational discourse. This systematic literature review explored platforms and software supporting personalized learning processes in…

Background/purpose: Mobile learning (M-learning) has become a crucial component of higher education due to the increasing demand for flexible and adaptive learning environments. However, ensuring personalized and effective M-learning experiences remains a challenge. This study aims to enhance M-learning effectiveness by introducing an AI-driven…

This article aims to design a novel edge-centric hierarchical cloud architecture to optimize mobile learning (m-learning) performance during learners executing computation-intensive learning applications. This research adopts the potential of distributed computing paradigms, that is, mobile edge, for improving the effectiveness of m-learning…

Online learning provides students greater access to higher education opportunities when regular, on-campus options are not viable. However, for administrators and educators, online learning can be difficult to assess and ensure quality, which leads institutions to use quality assurance frameworks such as the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program…

The study aimed to assess the extent of utilization of the Learning Resource Management System (LRMS) and its impact on student' engagement among 218 college students at ZhongShan College. Utilizing a descriptive correlational approach with a quantitative method, the study found that the students perceived a very high extent of utilization of…

Platform-enabled research services will control, manage, and measure learner experiences within that platform. In this paper, we consider the need for research services that examine learner experiences "outside" the platform. For example, we describe an effort to conduct an experiment on peer assessment in a college writing course, where…

Higher education institutions worldwide have embraced remote as a response to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the imposition of stay-at-home protocols. While this shift from the conventional face-to-face mode to remote learning platforms represents a notable innovation in the education circles, we contend that…

The purpose of this study is to determine the factors, both direct and indirect, that affect the success of the learning management systems implemented in the Ministry of Education's "Sekolah Penggerak" training program. The DeLone-McClean IS Success Model was modified to be used as the study's analysis tool. The study employed a…

Digital nudging is a subtle technique used to guide individuals' behaviors and influence their decision-making processes in online environments. This study highlights the critical role of digital nudging in enhancing the educational experiences of students in distance learning settings. It suggests that digital nudges can mitigate some of the…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate factors that could predict the continued usage of e-learning systems, such as the learning management systems (LMS) at a Technical University in Ghana using machine learning algorithms. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed model for this study adopted a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology…
