In the realm of e-learning, supporting personalized learning effectively necessitates recommending sequences of learning items that maximize learning efficiency while minimizing cognitive load, all tailored to the learner's goals. These recommendations must account for the prerequisite relationships among learning items and the learner's…

Due to the continuous evolution of society's health needs, medical students must acquire Self-Directed Learning (SDL) skills. Researchers have increasingly focused on finding suitable designs for teaching students self-directed learning (SDL) skills. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of disciplinary and interdisciplinary design methods…

This study introduces an evaluation benchmark for middle school algebra to be used in artificial intelligence (AI) based educational platforms. The goal is to support the design of AI systems that can enhance learners' conceptual understanding of algebra by taking into account learners' current level of algebra comprehension. The dataset comprises…

The research aims to study the state of the use of information technologies in the higher education system of Kyrgyzstan. Within the research framework, the authors studied strategic plans and programs aimed at creating an information society in Kyrgyzstan. The authors described the problems that have arisen as a result of the impact of digital…

The selection and application of learning strategies for college students is a hot topic in the field of education. However, there is no consensus on a universal learning strategy for most learners. The methods for discovering such a strategy are also unclear. This lack of agreement is largely due to the absence of unified measurement criteria and…

Higher education institutions increasingly promote course quality reviews (CQRs) to enhance the quality of online learning. However, limited research has examined the factors influencing faculty participation in these initiatives. This study used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework to inform faculty intentions to…

Emerging work around the globe has identified the impact of closing schools and moving education online during the COVID-19 pandemic has had, especially on children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Whilst research into this area is growing from both students' and parents' perspectives, there remains a need to explore how school leaders…

This discussion paper reflects on the affordances of face-to-face interaction and copresence in the light of increasingly digitized learning spaces in higher education. Especially in inequitable contexts, heightened dependence on digital platforms for teaching and learning can exacerbate inequalities in terms of student access and inclusion. This…

Background/purpose: This study addresses the growing gap in preparing pre-service teachers for immersive digital instruction, especially within metaverse environments. While many are familiar with digital platforms as learners, they often lack practical experience in managing and teaching in virtual settings. The purpose of this study is to…

Purpose: This study investigates how digital literacy, digital competence and work behavior influence online teaching productivity among educators in higher education. It aims to understand how these elements interact to enhance digital teaching effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach: A mixed-methods approach was employed. Quantitative data…

In the context of online and distance learning, active student engagement in online synchronous tutorials is important for students' development; yet it can be challenging to achieve. The research reported in this paper explored why some students do not participate actively in online synchronous tutorials, instead preferring passive participation.…

Digital textbooks are widely used in various educational contexts, such as university courses and online lectures. Such textbooks yield learning log data that have been used in numerous educational data mining (EDM) studies for student behavior analysis and performance prediction. However, these studies have faced challenges in integrating…

Despite its importance, research on the dynamic nature of student engagement and its relationship with academic success is limited. In this study, we investigate the consistency of student engagement and its relationship to academic achievement. We conduct an analysis of digital trace data on students' interaction with webinars. Specifically, we…

Innovation to support work-integrated learning (WIL) delivery in Australian higher education and other countries is becoming increasingly important due to the complexities associated with integrating work and learning in this context. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, complexities include the changing nature of work and challenges related to…

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) are exploring the potential of innovative media formats for supporting young children's learning as part of their Ready To Learn Initiative, which focuses on the development and distribution of high-quality media resources to support school readiness and early…
