Multimodal synchronous-computer-mediated communication (SCMC) provides many possibilities for improving language learners' pragmatic competence (Maa & Taguchi, 2022). However, the research exploring how SCMC mode affects the pragmatic learning process and its outcome is limited. This study investigates the effects of SCMC modes on pragmatic…

The rotational synchronous teaching (RST) model has attracted attention as it can increase the teaching presence and connected classroom climate in multiple synchronous classroom learning environments. This paper presents an investigation of the effects of the relationships between college students' perception of teaching presence, connected…

To better understand the use of ChatGPT as a tool for learning in higher education, this investigation reports student responses to an e-questionnaire investigating their perspectives on it. In particular, it delves into whether there are any significant differences between opinions based on gender and the level of study of 51 postgraduate…

This study explores the effectiveness of chatbots empowered by generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in assisting university students' creative problem-solving (CPS). We used quasi-experiments to compare the performance of dialogue dynamics, learner perceptions, and practical competencies in CPS during students' interactions with: (1) a GAI…

Amidst the integration of AI tools in education, ChatGPT is considered prevalent for its potential capacities. Although research into this phenomenon has been conducted by worldwide scholars, little has been known about the perceptions of Ph.D. students of non-English speaking countries. Hence, this qualitative study shifted the focus to this…

This study aimed to explore the perspectives of Indonesian nursing students on the utilization of ChatGPT in their learning process. A qualitative descriptive design was conducted among 19 second-year nursing students (age 18-20) who were purposively selected. Data were collected in February 2023 through online (Zoom meetings) and offline…

The use of artificial intelligence tools is currently increasingly common, causing changes in teaching-learning processes, generating debates in the educational sector about its utility. Proving to have benefits and advantages, however, there are still gaps in how artificial intelligence tools should be used in education. This research aims to…

Videoshadowing is a synchronous video-collaboration practice for learning foreign languages and cultures; it is related to the field of digital ethnography applied to the development of communicative competence. The study discusses this methodology's strengths as an interpretative and reflective approach; emic perception linguistic data are…

This mixed-methods study captures multiple stakeholders' voices and experiences of a hybrid-flexible (HyFlex) learning environment. It juxtaposes different perceptions of learning experiences, equivalency, and interactions. Tutor strategies to facilitate communication across space are explored. Thirty-six undergraduate students experienced the…

Recent emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology has stimulated interests as well as concerns in their potential in teaching and learning. Situated in the new and transforming context, this study provides an avenue for students to introspectively explore their use of GenAI in a postgraduate course. Seventy-four students…

This study aimed to examine sustainable effects of chatbot-based formative feedback on intrinsic motivation, cognitive load, and learning performance. A longitudinal quasi-experimental design with 173 undergraduate students was conducted. The experiment is a between-subject design. Students either received formative feedback from a chatbot or a…

Multitasking which has been reported to occur more frequently in online learning classes compared to traditional face-to-face settings has been found to have negative effects on students' learning. Albeit extensive research has been carried out on the effect of multitasking in education, there is scant research that sheds light on multitasking…

Technology-driven interactions are becoming commonplace, particularly as online classes, telecommuting, and virtual meetings across distances and time zones have all increased in popularity. Platforms such as Google Meet, Skype, Webex, and Zoom use synchronous audio-visual communication supported by text-based chat, emoticon responses, and other…

ChatGPT is largely acknowledged for its substantial capacity to enhance the teaching and learning process despite some concerns. Based on the available literature, no study compares groups of students using ChatGPT and those who did not, more so in programming. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to examine how ChatGPT affects SHS students'…

Given the widespread use of ChatGPT among university students, questions arise about its potential benefits and drawbacks. This study aims to explore the challenges and impacts of ChatGPT on the future of higher education. Using qualitative research methods, data were collected from semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis approach was…
