Group projects are an important part of many educational programs. In these projects, groupware tools like shared workspaces, shared editors, and synchronous or asynchronous communication tools (video conferencing, chat, email, forum) are often utilized. For synchronous collaboration, video conferencing systems are often used since they allow for…

Purpose: In this study, students' perceptions of the effective practices of their research mentors were examined. The research mentors implemented the practices informed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) mentorship competencies to mentor underrepresented students in engineering education research in a…

This study explores the influence of student-generated electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on university image within the context of an increasingly competitive higher education landscape. Drawing on social identity and congruence theories, we examine how both satisfied and dissatisfied students' positive and negative eWOM influences the higher…

(1) Context: The growing accessibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, such as ChatGPT, poses a challenge to the integrity of online assessments in higher education.

Simulations are a pedagogical learning tool that supports the preparation of future school leaders for a broad scope of leadership tasks, including instructional leadership. Educational leadership programs are tasked with preparing future leaders to apply effective instructional leadership practices in various types of interactions with teachers,…

Automated multiple-choice question (MCQ) generation is valuable for scalable assessment and enhanced learning experiences. How-ever, existing MCQ generation methods face challenges in ensuring plausible distractors and maintaining answer consistency. This paper intro-duces a method for MCQ generation that integrates reasoning-based explanations…

A promising approach to support students' math learning effectively, automatically and at scale within existing learning environments is conversational artificial intelligence (ConvAI). Although previous studies have suggested ConvAI's potential to guide, facilitate and enhance learning, its effects on students' conceptual change and academic…

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an important skill enabling students to co-construct knowledge and tackle complex problems through group interactions. While the importance of group interactions in CPS is well recognized, it is unclear how the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), with advanced cognitive support, may alter…

In this paper, we focus on describing the concept of cyberbullying and identifying the kind and impact of cyber-victimization in terms of the gender and school stage in a sample of 173 students of the first and second course of Compulsory Secondary Education (students between 12 and 16 years old) of Colegio Sagrado Corazon from Málaga. To do so,…

This study investigates the effectiveness of e-learning systems within the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) by exploring the factors that influence learning outcomes. The research employs a mixedmethods approach, combining quantitative data from a structured questionnaire with qualitative insights from interviews with subject matter experts. The sample…

Asynchronous online discussions (AODs) are a critical component of online learning, enabling students to exchange ideas and interact with peers in a flexible manner. To explore the interrelationships between social presence and cognitive presence, and how these two presences are connected across various instructional strategies used in AODs, this…

The challenges faced by transition-age youth (TAY) with level one autism spectrum disorder (L1-ASD) during the transition to adulthood can be exacerbated by disability-related hurdles, particularly in employment and post-secondary education. Existing social skills training interventions for TAY with ASD often include building social narratives and…
