Using educational games is one of the fun and effective teaching methods. The purpose of this research is to design and implement an educational gamification program in the form of blended learning models and also, evaluate it in students' learning environments and accept it from students' points of view in multi-trial groups. This research is…

This article addresses the need for empirical research comparing students' experiences of learning in different hybrid spaces in higher education that blend digital spaces, physical spaces and learning interactions. We focus on hybrid spaces formed around Zoom, non-immersive virtual reality (VR), and on-campus with a telepresence robot (TPR)…

Background/purpose: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and distance learning (EaD) have profoundly transformed education, redefining teaching methodologies and learning dynamics. When integrated into educational environments, these technologies facilitate equitable access to knowledge, enable personalized learning, and enhance pedagogical flexibility.…

The Blended learning system (BELS) has become a popular tool of learning. BELS's effectiveness is substantially influenced by a number of elements, including teacher and student feedback and system design. This study on evaluating the Blackboard platform (removed for peer review) aims to determine the similarity between students' and faculty…

This quantitative correlational study examined barriers to implementing blended learning in K-12 classrooms, focusing on how ongoing professional development, hands-on training, and post-training support influence educators' ability to use digital tools effectively. The researcher surveyed 46 educators who shared insights into the effectiveness of…

The use of education technology (EdTech) has been widely recognised as a potential catalyst for improving learning outcomes, including in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where access to quality education remains challenging. However, care must be taken in the implementation, as the selected tools, resources and application have a large…

Purpose: Numerous academic institutions have embarked on the pursuit of hybrid learning as an alternative approach, catering to students who opt for replacing a fraction of their conventional in-person meeting schedule with remote teaching. However, these new remote learning patterns have brought forth new stands against students' expectations.…

This article investigates the pedagogical and instructional design process of a hybrid course in preservice teacher education.
