Gender-stereotypical design, such as the predominance of blue colors in interfaces, leaderboards with only men at the top, and male avatars, may have negative effects on women in gamified tutoring systems, especially in courses with a majority of male participation, such as courses of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We…

Online learning has been greatly widespread since the explosion of COVID-19. However, due to the lack of interaction between teachers and students in online courses, it is very difficult for students to focus on course content and complete the learning. Therefore, we developed a novel intelligent multilevel knowledge graph to help students quickly…

Animal vocal behaviour represents a certain meaning, which is the explicit expression of animal emotions, needs and communication. Different from human language, animal vocal behaviour is very abstract, and the learning material of animal vocal behaviour is also more difficult to obtain. It is hard for college students to recognize vocal…

Undertaking cognitively stimulating activities over the course of life, such as playing brain games (BGs), is only possible if they continuously deliver a playful as well as playable experience. The understanding of how these subcomponents of experience (i.e. playfulness and playability) get influenced in both modes (single vs. two-player) of…

The game-based learning approach to developing students' computational thinking (CT) current has received attention from researchers. However, the compatibility between games and instruction is often insufficient to accommodate the entertaining and educational nature of the curriculum entirely, and the benefits of game-based learning could be…

This study developed a VR-based mobile learning system to simulate the natural environment of a geopark for university students to learn geological knowledge. This learning method used a Google cardboard equipped with smartphones, where students can watch stereoscopic scenes and experience virtual environments as if visiting the geopark. In order…

The gamification approach is often used in educational settings, with widely varying results on learner motivation. A new trend emerged these last years on adaptive gamification to fit learners' preferences for game mechanics, but little is known on how the adaptation of different game elements impacts different types of learner motivation. In…

Engineering drawing is valuable in capturing geometric features, conveying engineering ideas, and creating a blueprint of the intended product. Engineering students usually perform orthographic projections, imagining a 3D situation and sketching its 2D representation. That requires imagination and mental visualization, determined by the learner's…

Interactive learning environments provide a variety of instructional tools including educational graphics interchange format (GIF) and PowerPoint presentations which facilitate delivering stimulating and motivating lessons. This study examined the potentials of visual tools for grammatical development by administering GIFs as the educational…

Learning history is vital for students' intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical development. Students perceive history subject as difficult and boring because they must memorize facts and understand those facts, concepts, time, and historical events. Interactive multimedia can increase students' enthusiasm and make the teaching and…

This study is based on assessing the potential of augmented reality (AR) and infographics in science learning, emphasizing the synergistic effect on improving learning. The study investigates the impact of the combination of AR and infographic design on learning biology. Seventy-five 10th grade male students participated in this study, which…

Today, technologies are utilized extensively to support the process of learning according to learner needs. Hence, the advances in technology and ideology have prompted new directions in the second language (L2) instructional practices. This study is carried out in regard to the usage of infographics in a flipped classroom learning environment…

In language learning, it is important to foster students' computational thinking and improve their skills of building arguments and dialectical structure, teamwork, and decision accuracy. This is especially so in English language courses which aim to promote students' cultural learning interest, creative thinking, and oral presentation.…

Computer supported collaborative writing (CSCW), due to the potential to enhance online collaborative writing performance, has received more and more attention in educational settings in recent years. However, the lack of social presence results in learners not being able to construct group awareness to reduce participation rate and even appear…

We design a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based pencil drawing learning system for art education on large image datasets to help students study how to draw pencil drawings for images and scenes. The system generates a pencil drawing result for a natural image based on GAN. The GAN network is trained on pencil drawing big datasets containing…
