This study introduces a novel approach for predicting student engagement levels in a language-based AI curriculum. The curriculum was integrated into English Language Arts classrooms, in which 106 students from five classes participated five web-based machine learning and text mining modules for 2 weeks. Sentiment and categorical analyses,…

Dictionaries for under-resourced languages are, like other dictionaries, traditionally in hard-copy form. Electronic online formats can improve access to dictionaries for under-resourced languages. To make it easier to create online dictionaries with linked sound and image files, starting from a Toolbox file or similar backslash-formatted…

Because e-learning encompasses such a wide array of learning methods and tools, its components lend themselves to boundless applications. This study describes one such frontier of e-learning: its use in raising awareness of crucial social issues. Specifically, we describe the development of the first human trafficking awareness e-learning game…

Previous research has identified a considerable amount of variability in how healthcare professionals are taught to recognize, assess, and manage concussions. Responding to these findings, an innovative applied learning technology tool, the Athletic Therapy Interactive Concussion Educational (AT-ICE) Tool, was developed to help teach athletic…

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the long-term effects of physical activity restrictions on children, especially those from marginalized backgrounds with limited access to programs and facilities. This study addresses these concerns by developing a needs-based physical activity program for children. A comprehensive needs analysis informed the…

This research brief highlights how public libraries ensured patrons continued access to library services during the pandemic through 2021.

Automated explanatory feedback systems play a crucial role in facilitating learning for a large cohort of learners by offering feedback that incorporates explanations, significantly enhancing the learning process. However, delivering such explanatory feedback in real-time poses challenges, particularly when high classification accuracy for…

Summer 2020 witnessed a large-scale temporary release of content from the publishing community to support UK universities as they moved to online-only delivery, followed by a scramble by those institutions to maintain access to resources. This paper reflects on the experiences of De Montfort University and Imperial College libraries during this…

As more educators integrate their curricula with online learning, it is easier to crowdsource content from them. Crowdsourced tutoring has been proven to reliably increase students' next problem correctness. In this work, we confirmed the findings of a previous study in this area, with stronger confidence margins than previously, and revealed that…

Computer-based learning applications and mobile technology have transformed many aspects of the educational experience over the last decade, producing software aimed at improving learning efficiency and streamlining the presentation of course materials. One such class of software, purpose-created to take advantage of spaced learning and spaced…

This study aims to explore the significant variables affecting online knowledge-sharing and the hierarchical structure, from the perspective of online learners. To comprehensively discuss the relationship between these variables, binary logit regression and interpretative structural model (ISM) was used. Based on literature analysis, the data of…

Contributed data reflective of students' compliance in doing electronic homework (e-HW) exercises when asked to choose when required e-HW assignments are due are evaluated using a quasi-experimental format with non-equivalent groups to determine if first-semester general chemistry (Chem I) students (N = 273) will academically benefit from improved…

Learning innovation for future education often includes digital approaches to enhance learning and to contribute to the development of twenty-first-century skills. There is evidence that mobile learning provides positive outcomes. However, there is a recognized lack of research in the field of frameworks and models that contributes to highlighting…

Personalised learning (PL) is learning in which the stage of learning and the instructional approach are optimised for the needs of each learner. The concept of PL allows e-learning design to shift from a 'one size fits all' approach to an adaptive and student-centred approach. This paper aims to provide a literature review of PL based on: the PL…

It started with a simple little filler in "USA Today" 25 years ago. It showed a broken student desk with cobwebs on it and offered data on "average yearly absences" in Japan, Germany, and the United States. Assessing my own data, I verified that they were on point and proceeded to discuss why this was a major hurdle for our…
