Open education systems play a significant role in providing flexible and accessible learning opportunities to large student populations, independent of time and location. These systems achieve cost efficiency through the effective implementation of economies of scale, reducing unit costs as student numbers increase. However, decision-making in the…

This exploratory study investigates the relationship between students' anxiety and social presence (SP) in virtual exchange (VE). While existing literature predominantly focuses on a single type of anxiety in online learning (i.e., FLA or online learning anxiety), this study examines (a) the various types of anxiety students experience in…

Background/purpose: The integration of immersive technologies in education has been increasing. Such technologies include: the virtual reality (VR)-based technologies, which have raised engagement and interactivity, and foster the development of skills in academic settings. Thus, this study aimed to explore the attitudes of faculty members in…

Cybervictimization is a salient stressor in adolescents' lives and has been demonstrated to be strongly associated with depressive symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying this association have not been sufficiently studied. Building on the diathesis-stress model and co-construction theory, this study investigated the mediating role of peer…

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in the workplace for years. There are compulsory or elective AI courses in some universities for students to enroll in. With the wide adoption of AI in many industries now, employers also expect students to make good use of AI to enhance their work productivity and efficiency. Hence, the purpose…

The purpose of this study was to generate an item bank for assessing faculty members' assessment literacy and to examine the applicability and feasibility of a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) approach to monitor assessment literacy among faculty members. In developing this assessment using a sequential mixed-methods research design, our goal was…
