Market research topics and methodologies are gaining presence in the most syllabus of university degrees. Today's students will probably become business managers of companies commercializing different products and services, such as hotels, restaurants, or cultural products and services. Because of this, they must learn how to apply quantitative…

The interactive mechanism between social and concept networks is a key question in connectivist learning, which explains the impact of interaction on cognitive development and knowledge generation. The successful practice of "Internet Change Education: Dialogue between Theory and Practice", the first cMOOC in China, provides data support…

Community-based courses, driven by connectivist learning theory, provide learners with a social environment that supports collaborative problem solving (CPS). The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of potential collaborators before they engage in CPS. This study analyzed a community-based course, a cMOOC with a total of…

Although peer feedback has been proposed as an instructional strategy for cultivating critical thinking, high-quality peer feedback is difficult to obtain. Regulation scripts are a promising scaffold for this activity. Besides, few previous studies have explored the dynamic relationship between feedback content and critical thinking. Therefore,…

To inform the relationships among interaction patterns, social capital accumulation, and learning benefits, based on 29,056 log data from a cMOOC (Connectivist Massive Open Online Course) in China, this study examined the difference in social capital accumulation and content production among different interaction patterns using cluster analysis,…

The rise and development of new network technologies have shaped a new information revolution. At the same time, they have penetrated education, including football training. The study aimed to determine the impact of network technologies on players' ability to cooperate, be engaged, and be creative when teaching football tactics. ANCOVA (analysis…

Different from the group formation approaches led by teachers, learners' generative learning objectives and the independent choice of collaborative partners are important in the Internet learning environment. This study takes the cMOOC (connectivist massive open online course) 5.0 "Internet + education: dialogue between theory and…

Many professionals consider computational thinking an essential skill in the twenty-first century. Furthermore, some studies demonstrate that computer-based networking skills and digital environments can improve computational thinking. A challenging question to be addressed is whether informal learning in a digital context is related to…

During the COVID-19 quarantine, we conducted a field-setting pre/post-test randomized experiment (n = 115), creating a community using the social media application Instagram to enhance students' interactions with their peers and immediate physical environments in a large, introductory online course in environmental psychology. We used the…

This research proposes a methodological approach to using the social network Instagram® as a tool for collaborative e-learning activities in higher education. Collaborative e-learning activities are conducted on Instagram® through challenges and quizzes. The main aim of these activities is to encourage students' creativity, motivation for…

The present study employed the draw-a-picture technique and epistemic network analysis (ENA) to reveal university students' viewpoints on ChatGPT-supported learning, as well as the conceptions, roles, and educational objectives of ChatGPT-supported learning among university students with different learning attitudes. The results showed that…

With the development of information technologies, many learners opt to stay home receiving various forms of online education such as massive open online courses (MOOC). However, many learners and instructors complain that MOOC-based learning effectiveness has been dampened by many factors. Through a meta-analysis using Stata/MP 14.0, this study…

In this work, we study the feeling of membership in undergraduate students who interact with their higher education institution through a virtual environment. We explore the "Centro de Investigaciones en Diseño Industrial" (CIDI) case, in which a virtual environment was built using the Roblox platform to enhance the online experience…

In Chinese, writing is a basic competency that pupils should possess. But it is still challenging for teachers to improve pupils' writing abilities. Therefore, this study proposes an intelligence-based cognitive diagnostic feedback strategy to improve pupils' writing ability and writing learning quality by analyzing their writing performance,…

Currently, generative AI has undergone rapid development. Numerous studies have attested to the benefits of Gen AI in programming, mathematics and other disciplines. However, since Gen AI mostly uses English as the intrinsic training parameter, it is more effective in facilitating the teaching of courses that use international common notation, but…
