This systematic literature review discusses the use of spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) as a training and therapy intervention for autistic individuals. The authors emphasize the need for an evidence-based framework with guidelines and design considerations to help developers and educators tailor SVVR to the diverse needs of autistic…

Background Study: Peer feedback has been used as an effective instructional strategy to enhance students' learning in higher education. Objectives: This paper reports on the findings of an explorative study that aimed to increase our understanding of the nature and role of peer feedback in the students' learning process in a computer-supported…

Background: Learning analytics dashboards are increasingly being used to communicate feedback to learners. However, little is known about learner preferences for dashboard designs and how they differ depending on the self-regulated learning (SRL) phases the dashboards are presented (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection phases) and…

Tennis elbow, known as lateral epicondylitis in medical terms, which affects the daily life function of most patients. Many patients are becoming less willing to practice traditional rehabilitation due to time and space constraints and the need to go to the hospital for rehabilitation. In this study, the concept of user experience, and the remote…

Recently, creativity has been acknowledged for its importance in improving computer science learning and attitudes. However, very little is known about how to integrate creativity in preservice teacher computing education. Toward this end, we developed a creativity-enhancement intervention in an online Creative Computing instructional module to…

The rise of Artificial Intelligence technology has raised concerns about the potential compromise of privacy due to the handling of personal data. Private AI prevents cybercrimes and falsehoods and protects human freedom and trust. While Federated Learning offers a solution by model training across decentralized devices or servers, thereby…

This dissertation studies the advancement of consensus-aware technologies in the context of collective decision-making, focusing on the integration of these technologies into information systems to effectively represent, detect, and characterize consensus among people and other agents. Despite the proven value of collective intelligence in…

The problem addressed in this research study is that multinational organizations that often disregard adopting cybersecurity threat awareness training in the workplace to protect their cyberinfrastructure assets cannot efficiently detect and respond to malicious advance persistent threat (APT) cyberattacks. There is a disconnect between security…

Impending climate crises, profound wealth inequality and unprecedented vulnerability to global catastrophe at the hands of technology make working towards justice a necessity, and a desperate one at that. However, engaging in work towards justice requires deconstructing the dominant narratives and norms that restrict what actions are permissible…

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to catalog, explore and disseminate knowledge developed related to the affordances, constraints and collaborative practices of e-mentoring in order to offer recommendations for mentoring programs. Design/methodology/approach: After identifying studies utilizing inclusion and exclusion…

The multimedia simulation teaching mode introduces students into virtual scenes for learning. Whether it is enhancing students' interest in learning or enhancing their physical fitness, it is a new teaching mode. This article discusses the establishment of a BP neural network model to study the prediction of students' physical fitness and conducts…

Data are an essential factor in the fourth industrial revolution, demanding engineers and scientists to leverage and analyze their potential for significantly improving the efficiency of industrial processes and their control systems. In classical industrial process control systems, the models are constructed using linear data-driven approaches,…

Using a quantitative, non-experimental design, this study analyzed the relationships between the degree of virtuality (i.e., for virtual, hybrid, and colocated employees), tools and techniques of leader communication, and employee perceptions of leadership effectiveness among full-time, currently employed faculty at an American university's campus…

To compose "Case in Point" for this issue of "Journal of Special Education and Leadership," a prompt was given to the artificial intelligence (AI) tool "Co-Pilot." "Co-Pilot" was asked to write a commentary using each article's executive summary that was inputted into "Co-Pilot's" authored…

This article focuses on the practical implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in an online computer science course, articulating the collaborative efforts between the instructional designer (the first author) and the faculty member to redesign the course using UDL principles. Specific instances of redesigned learning modules and…
