Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how digital technologies at work serve as environments for informal workplace learning in knowledge work. Design/methodology/approach: Digital ethnography was used to investigate the digital environments of one public sector workplace. The data included observations, interviews and participant…

Recognizing that online teaching and learning is placed within an environment where neither the teacher nor the student has complete-control is the first step to actioning capabilities towards a humanized environment. The tool that is typically used in higher education, the learning management system (LMS), has a design that constrains learning…

Learners' emotional engagement in synchronous online learning (SOL) is critical for improving learning persistence and performance. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews of emotional engagement in SOL. This review synthesizes the strategies to promote emotional engagement in SOL found in published…

Computer-based learning environments (CBLEs) are powerful tools to support student learning. Increasingly of interest is the data that is recorded as learners interact with a CBLE. This "process data" yields opportunities for researchers to examine learners' engagement with a CBLE and explore whether specific interactions are associated…

This article focuses on the work of teachers in the conditions of mobile learning, since teachers perform various activities related to preparation of classes, training and students' assessment in digital learning environment. The analysis emphasizes the fact that the responsibilities of modern teachers are becoming more complicated, following the…

Background study: Computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) has emerged as an important resource for second language (L2) pronunciation learning. CAPT offers diverse opportunities for learners to master L2 pronunciation with the help of authentic learning activities in multiple contexts. Objectives: This study presents a comprehensive…

The rapid growth of edge computing, 5G, and IoT technologies has led to a significant increase in distributed data, creating both opportunities and challenges for machine learning. Federated learning has emerged as a promising approach to enable collaborative model training across decentralized devices while not sharing user data. However,…

Computer programming is essential nowadays but still challenging to learn due to its invisible thinking. Current programming environments are mostly designed for operating on computers directly to learn concrete programming, but this approach lacks the support for clarifying learners' thinking processes. On the other hand, using paper and pens…

Background and context: We address the question of what computer science students take the discipline to be. How students conceive the discipline can influence whether a student pursues computer science, what particular area within computer science they focus on and whether they persist in the discipline. In this paper, we examine the epistemic…

Background: Male students' achievements in female-dominated study programs have garnered limited research attention. This study investigates the relationship between psychology students' perceived diversity climate and their learning outcomes in a gender-mixed computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) course in introductory psychology. Our…

The design of tasks to induce learning from audiovisual input is vital for second/foreign language teachers and has attracted a good deal of attention in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) research. This study presents a new contribution to research in this area by investigating learner engagement in the context of vocabulary learning…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies can be domain specific. However, it remains unclear whether this specificity extends to different subtopics within a single subject domain. In this study, we collected data from 210 college students engaged in a computer-based learning environment to examine the heterogeneous manifestations of learning…

This study explores postgraduate students' perceptions of the effectiveness of collaborative learning within computer-based environments. The research investigates the distinctions between collaborative learning and group work, examining how students' attitudes and behaviours differ, and the subsequent impact on learning outcomes. Findings reveal…

Contribution: This work seeks to ascertain the validity of a remote-controlled experiment of the Physics Remote Lab in the educational context, specifically among students from engineering courses. Background: In 2012, it has been started the development of the Physics Remote Lab at the Federal University of Itajubá, Brazil, a laboratory with a…

Spelling and grammar are a priority in first language (L1) classrooms. Digital learning has increased significantly around the world, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the range of online learning for spelling and grammar is very large, there is still no systematic review of the effectiveness of different features and…
