There has been extensive research using centrality measures in educational settings. One of the most common lines of such research has tested network centrality measures as indicators of success. The increasing interest in centrality measures has been kindled by the proliferation of learning analytics. Previous works have been dominated by…

Google Classroom (GC) has provided affordances for blended learning in higher education. Given this, most institutions, including Malaysian higher educational institutions, are adopting this learning management system (LMS) technology for supporting out of classroom pedagogical. Even though quantitative evidence exists to confirm the usefulness of…

Increasingly, learning in science and mathematics is considered in terms of induction into the multimodal language practices of the disciplinary community. A strong strand of research in this tradition has involved students being challenged to invent multimodal language forms, and their ideas refined through structured guidance. Often, however,…

Hadoop is a well-known big data system and a subject covered in many big data courses. This article describes two role play games for teaching the two fundamental components in the Hadoop framework, MapReduce and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). In the games, students form teams and play different roles as a part of a Hadoop cluster. The…

The preregistration of research plans and hypotheses may prevent publication bias and questionable research practices. We incorporated a modified version of the preregistration process into an undergraduate capstone research course. Students completed a standard preregistration form during the planning stages of their research projects as well as…

The systematic review…

This paper describes an innovative approach for teaching the challenges in the management of data warehouse development. The approach contains lecture material providing conceptual background about the management of data warehouse development, a simulation game supporting experiential learning, and a post-play debriefing to support synthesis of…

In the age of big data and analytics, it is important that students learn about artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Machine learning is a discipline that focuses on building a computer system that can improve itself using experience. ML models can be used to detect patterns from data and recommend strategic marketing actions.…

Organizational patterns can serve as a teaching strategy for instructors and as a learning tool for students to develop their expository writing skills, which are commonly required for assignments (for example, laboratory reports and research papers) in Food Science courses and in their future careers. The article discusses the importance of…

Increased value is placed on students having real-world learning experiences. Application classes such as Digital Marketing provide the opportunity for students to achieve this experience. Employers place value with employees having both hard skills and soft skills. To support learning both hard and soft skills, the Enterprise Marketing Variation…

The age of big data drives the need for emerging technologies to enable scalable analytics on massive, rapidly generated, and varied data.
