This study aimed to investigate the level of student engagement in online courses in the Instructional and Learning Technologies Department (ILT) at the Sluat Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also explored the challenges that impeded student engagement in online courses. The study followed a descriptive design…

Historically, distance or remote learning has not been a typical instructional model for agencies serving at-risk, nontraditional (noncollege) adult learners (Rosen & Stewart,2015). However, the COVID-19 shutdown compelled adult-serving agencies to explore new instructional models in order to continue teaching their students. Many agencies,…

Due to the widespread use of mobile technologies, their use of them in teaching processes has also increased. Within this framework, in this study, in-depth investigation of K-12 grades studies from 2015 to 2021 which were conducted on "mobile learning", and "learning anywhere" published on "Web of Science" through…

In the Republic of Korea, the COVID-19 pandemic coincided with the start of the 2020 academic year and saw emergency remote teaching (ERT) emerge as a way of maintaining educational continuity for millions of students. While ERT was new and unplanned at the time, the practice became sustained over the semesters that followed, marking a shift from…

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid transition to remote education in post-secondary institutions. To understand the first-year engineering undergraduate student perceptions of this transition to online learning, surveys were administered in two design-focused first-year engineering courses with a total of 201 enrolled students. A thematic…

The purpose of this study was to survey undergraduate students of a management statistics course about their perceptions on the usefulness of a series of instructional videos with embedded quiz questions created by their instructor to provide students with knowledge of Excel functions needed to understand the course materials and complete course…

This paper reported an AR based teaching method adopted during the movement control period for undergraduate engineering students to perform electrical machine laboratory. In this work, Unity 3D development platform and Vuforia Engine software development kit are applied to create the AR system. The content of the practical component is projected…

Information on the emotional outcomes of e-learning system use and emotional aspects of user experience in higher education is quite limited. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to identify the factors that influence university students' intention to continue using e-learning systems and to examine the emotional outcomes of the continuance…

Effective classroom management methods are well known, but effective ways of managing classes of beginner teachers remain elusive. Classroom management refers to the wide range of skills and techniques that teachers use to ensure that classes are conducted without destructive student behavior. The present study is applied nonexperimental research.…

Whether the use of lecture capture technology helps improve student performance is a contested area of research. In most cases, the answer relies on the degree to which online recordings supplement or substitute for live or live-streamed lecture delivery. We present a parameter, the technical rate of substitution, which captures this information…

Given that the educational sector was particularly hard hit in most countries around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, the study employs an extended UTAUT2 to investigate student use and satisfaction with e-learning in a developing country setting. We employed partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) on 616 data…

This study describes the current status of digital textbooks (DTBs) for Primary Education in Spain. Thirty digital teaching materials were analyzed. The method applied was content analysis. An analysis guide aimed at unraveling the technological, pedagogical and functional characteristics of this type of materials was designed, validated and…

Music educators often look for ways to deepen students' understanding and artistic interpretations of repertoire. One way to engage students in discovery and dialogue about the music they perform is through connecting to the historical, cultural, and societal implications of primary sources. This article delves into resources from the Library of…

For many years, there has been a quest to discover the best teaching and learning methods in order to strengthen the classroom and the mind. Researchers now know more than ever before about the brain's impact on learning, historical triggers that lead to deep learning, and how to scale education with technology. Yet much of what is known is…

This work explores how population-based engagement prediction can address cold-start at scale in large learning resource collections. The paper introduces: (1) VLE, a novel dataset that consists of content and video based features extracted from publicly available scientific video lectures coupled with implicit and explicit signals related to…
