Research on academic performance in online education proliferated in the last decade; however, our current understanding of the relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance in online learning environments remains scattered. This meta-analysis provides a holistic view of the relationship between learners' use of…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review and categorize current trends in student engagement and performance prediction using machine learning techniques during online learning in higher education. The goal is to gain a better understanding of student engagement prediction research that is important for current educational planning and…

Background/purpose: In the context of the digital era, students' motivation and engagement have become increasingly influenced by their level of digital skills. This systematic review was conducted to explore how digital competencies impact motivation in e-learning environments, particularly in educational settings. The purpose of the study was to…

The rise of informal language learning, especially learning conducted online outside the classroom context, has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. To date, however, there has been limited evidence-based systematic analysis of the prevalence of online informal language learning (OILL). Accordingly, we conducted a systematic…

Gamification is the use of game elements in a non-game context to encourage desired behaviours (Detering 2011a). It has been identified as a promising technique for improving user motivation on e-learning platforms. Since previous literature reviews and meta-analyses only considered gamification and learning effort without focusing directly on…

Purpose: This paper explores current teaching and learning practices, benefits and challenges in the implementation of Internationalization at Home (IaH) in higher education. Design/methodology/approach: The study follows a systematic review (SR) protocol in accordance with the PRISMA Statement, covering published research from 2018 to 2022.…

With the application of virtual venues in the field of education, numerous educational empirical studies have examined the impact of deep learning in the learning environment of virtual venues, but the conclusions are not always in agreement. The present study adopted the meta-analysis method and RStudio software to test the overall effect of 45…

Researchers have been examining educational resources and content to enhance and support the learning experience. As technology continues to transform the way we learn and access information, digital learning materials have become increasingly popular in modern education. This study looked at how different kinds of digital learning materials…

In the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important element of human experience. Its application in English-language education should enhance students' linguistic abilities. However, there is a scarcity of research on the anxiety and demotivation in them that occurs from incorporating AI in teaching and learning English on…

Purpose: The current study intended to conceptually and technically examine the literature on blended learning (BL) utilising a dual-focused approach with systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. This study intends to address eight different research problem areas.: (1) the descriptive features of the retrieved empirical studies on…

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of online education, which has been extensively used on student achievement since the beginning of the pandemic. In line with this purpose, a meta-analysis of the related studies focusing on the effect of online education on students' academic achievement in several countries between the years…

Though the relationship between mobile learning and academic achievement has increasingly gained attention by some researchers, the meta-analysis studies have yet to definitively conclude the overall impact of mobile learning on academic achievement. In order to synthesize the findings of 22 meta-analyses that are directly pertinent to the…

This meta-analytic study investigates the impact of online peer assessment on academic achievement in higher education. By synthesizing 20 effect sizes, we provide a comprehensive understanding of how online peer assessment influences student learning outcomes. The findings reveal a statistically significant positive effect (Hedges's g = 0.672),…

Purpose: This study seeks to conduct a quantitative assessment of literature associated with "Open, Distance and Online Learning". Given the increasing constraints in recent years, students are forced to continue their education in Open, Distance and Online mode. Consequently, a thorough bibliometric review of sources available for Open,…

This conceptual study explores and proposes strategies for enhancing security and academic integrity within the Open and Distance e-learning (ODeL) context, adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocols. As higher education continues to evolve, the reliance on online assessments has become more…
