The advent of advanced technology has opened new horizons for studying collaborative learning, although ambiguity remains in the classification and rationale for combining modalities in multimodal collaboration analytics (MMCA). Addressing this gap is crucial for the progression of collaborative learning practices and research. This review…

In various technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environments, knowledge co-creation progresses through multimodal interactions that integrate verbal and nonverbal modalities, such as speech and gestures. This study investigated two distinct analytical approaches for analyzing multimodal interactions--triangulating and interleaving--by applying them…

Numerous studies have documented the benefits of watching audio-visual materials with on-screen text for L2 vocabulary learning (Montero Perez, 2022). The provision of both auditory and textual input allows learners to link auditory and written forms (or L1 meanings) of unknown words during viewing, which could potentially facilitate vocabulary…

Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) is the result of the affordances of technology that allow learning to take place in unstructured learning contexts. However, how IDLE facilitates students' English language learning remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the strategies English as a foreign language (EFL) students employ to learn…

This essay reevaluates the role of reflection in experiential learning programs, contrasting traditional solitary ref lection methods with contemporary approaches that integrate collaboration and multimodal expression. These new approaches highlight a shift toward more flexible and interactive methods, reflecting the influence of new technologies…

This study explores the impact of instructional modality and session length on student success and retention in first-semester Japanese and Spanish language courses at a large urban community college. The research analyzed pre- and post-tests, final grades, and retention rates across multiple academic terms, including standard 16-week and…

D-ID Creative Reality Studio (D-ID) is a platform for creating Artificial Intelligence (AI) presenter (digital human) videos, translating videos, and designing conversational agents. D-ID seamlessly integrates deep-learning face animation technology, large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), and speech synthesis and…

This study investigated the impact of computer-aided assessment on the enhancement of critical thinking skills in non-routine problem-solving across three distinct learning delivery modalities: fully online, balanced blended, and predominantly face-to-face (F2F) blended. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided assessment in…

Research has shown the negative impact of statistics anxiety on subsequent academic performance. Given that statistics competence is a core component of psychology at degree level across the UK, there is a clear need to explore alternative approaches to the teaching of such courses, such as via online delivery. The current paper reports on a study…

This discussion paper reflects on the affordances of face-to-face interaction and copresence in the light of increasingly digitized learning spaces in higher education. Especially in inequitable contexts, heightened dependence on digital platforms for teaching and learning can exacerbate inequalities in terms of student access and inclusion. This…

Conducted in a French private school in Chile, this action research study aims to explore the contribution of video-based listening activities from the ESL video website in supporting the listening comprehension skills for specific information of a group of 18 fifth graders. The results of a pre- and post-intervention test used to identify…

Ensuring employees are competent and confident to perform their duties relies on new employee orientation and ongoing compliance training. Currently, there is no industry standard or evidence-informed decision framework that determines when to use face-to-face, online, or blended learning for healthcare workplace training. This mixed methods…

In this supplement to the reprint of "A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Designing Social Futures," Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope revisit the foundational ideas of the New London Group thirty years after the article's publication. They explore how the multiliteracies framework has evolved over time in response to changes in technology, media,…

Many universities implemented blended and hybrid delivery for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as such, the use of terms that relate to various manifestations and implementations of blended learning has increased significantly by all higher education stakeholders. However, the meaning ascribed to these terms is often inconsistent…

Emotions of learners are fundamental and significant in e-learning as they encourage learning. Machine learning models are presented in the literature to look at how emotions may affect e-learning results that are improved and optimized. Nevertheless, the models that have been suggested so far are appropriate for offline mode, whereby data for…
