Term extraction from textbooks is the cornerstone of many different intelligent natural language processing systems, especially those that support learners and educators in the education system. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised domain-independent model that automatically extracts relevant and domain-related key terms from a single PDF…

A technological trend influencing society is the provision and adoption of digital books. Digital books are used in education in the form of electronic textbooks (e-textbooks). The research question examined in this manuscript is which students' characteristics and attitudes influence their adoption or non-adoption of e-textbooks? The study…

This systematic review explores the burgeoning intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and self-regulated learning (SRL) in higher education. Aiming to synthesize empirical studies, we employed a qualitative approach to scrutinize AI's role in supporting SRL processes. Through a meticulous selection process adhering to PRISMA…

The study aimed to examine how emotional design and digitalization/mobilization of textbooks influence students' emotion, cognitive load, and cognitive performance. Research samples were 147 undergraduate students enrolling in the "Introduction to Internet" course at a university. They were randomly divided into three groups: 51 students…

Objectives: Drama learning is still dominated by the use of conventional textbooks. For this reason, the purpose of this research is to explore the development of digital textbooks, with cultural orientation and local wisdom. Materials/methods: The research method follows research and development procedures. Data was collected through tests,…

The rapid development of information and communication technology demands the production of digital products. This study aims to produce a digital instructional book based on Balinese local cultures to enhance the learning outcomes of high school students. The development of this book used the ADDIE model.
