Virtual environments open up far-reaching possibilities with respect to knowledge impartation. Nevertheless, they have the potential to negatively influence learning behavior. As a possible positive determinant, especially in the digital context, the moment "game" can be listed. Accordingly, previous studies prove an overall positive…

This study aims to determine the relationship between the loneliness levels and intrinsic motivation levels felt by distance learners in a virtual environment. To this end, predictive design was used as a quantitative research method. The results obtained from 330 distance learner participants revealed a medium level negative statistically…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a prerequisite for successful learning. However, studies have reported that many students struggle with self-regulation in online learning, indicating the need to provide students with additional support for SRL. This study adopted a design-based research methodology to iteratively design, implement, and evaluate…

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…

Scholars have long delved into the realm of MOOCs. However, with the proliferation of diverse platforms hosting course videos, it was realized that learning experiences may vary across these platforms. Hence, this research explores the forums within two distinct online learning platforms: the formal MOOC and the informal video-sharing platform.…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to empirically exhibit the moderating effect of learner interaction (LI) on motivation to learn (MTL), mobile learning (ML) and online learning climate (OLC), so as to bring in enhanced rigour to the virtual knowledge dissemination during the times of crisis. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 784 valid…

Mobile phones are now used ubiquitously in everyday life around the world. However, using mobile devices for learning activities (i.e. m-learning) is not as popular as initially expected. This study explores the factors that affect m-learning apps acceptance among mobile phone users and investigates how personality, readiness, and motivation…

The current study aimed to evaluate an online learning experience based on the music model of motivation in an educational technology post-graduate program in Oman. In order to understand the motivational perceptions of students regarding the instruction, a two-phase, sequential explanatory mixed method research design was conducted in this study.…

E-learning has increased in popularity, especially during the COVID-19, due to its numerous advantages that allow learners to study anywhere and anytime. Therefore, recommending a list of the most appropriate learning objects for learners according to their specific needs is a great challenge for adaptive e-learning systems. In an e-learning…

Facilitating the exploration of adolescents' questions regarding nature is vital. Research suggests that their questions are important as they can reveal their interests in particular subjects and further guide their learning process. We designed a quasi-experimental study for 68 adolescents in an outdoor and indoor setting to assess the efficacy…

The COVID-19 pandemic and advances in technology have resulted in the emergence of online learning as a new trend in the educational sector. However, during online learning, if students cannot seek immediate assistance from teachers, the use of suitable teaching models and easy-to-understand teaching materials is crucial. To address problems…

In this study, a peer assessment-based mobile learning approach was implemented and evaluated in a vocational design certification course.
