Smart supply chain management (SSCM) has recently attracted significant attention from both industry and academia, particularly in light of the COVID pandemic. This article reviews current literature on information and integration, process automation, advanced analytics, and related business curriculum in SSCM. Our survey results demonstrate a…

Organizations are keenly interested in employees trained in business analysis and robotic process automation. This is because those methods are growing in demand for improving efficiency in business processes. Business students exiting college must understand how to map out business processes and implement automation fundamentals to be competitive…

A significant activity in the business analytics process is enrichment, which deals with acquiring and combining data from external sources. While different strategies for enrichment are possible, it can be accomplished more efficiently through automation using Python scripts. Since business students may not be immersed in technology skills and…

Teamwork, often mediated by version control systems such as Git and Apache Subversion (SVN), is central to professional programming. As a consequence, many colleges are incorporating both collaboration and online development environments into their curricula even in introductory courses. In this research, we collected GitHub logs from two…

Self-direction skill is considered a vital skill for twenty-first-century learners in both the learning context and physical activity context. Analysis skill for self-directed activities requires the students to analyze their own activity data for understanding their status in that activity. It is an important phase that determines whether an…

Kaggle is a data modeling competition service, where participants compete to build a model with lower predictive error than other participants. Several years ago they released a simplified service that is ideal for instructors to run competitions in a classroom setting. This article describes the results of an experiment to determine if…

This study aims to develop a computer program for the identification key to insect orders (Arthropoda: Hexapoda) and to investigate its effectiveness as teaching material. Secondly, this study is aiming at whether this program improves students' computational thinking skills or not longitudinal quasi-experimental design. Firstly, the study is…

With the advent of the big data internet era, the corresponding multimedia technology is also developing. At the same time, as an important place for students to improve their cognitive level and expand their knowledge coverage, the construction of knowledge and information in university libraries will have an important impact on the growth of…

Student learning benefits from individual support and feedback. This type of support does not scale well especially in large classes. A system was built to automate the delivery of individual support and feedback on Excel assignments in information systems and analytics courses. The system embeds instructional scaffolding in the distributed…

The increasing integration of software and automation in modern chemical laboratories prompts special emphasis on two important skills in the chemistry classroom. First, students need to learn the technical skills involved in modern scientific computing and automation. Second, applying these techniques in practice requires effective collaboration…

Graph data such as argument diagrams has become increasingly common in EDM. Augmented Graph Grammars are a robust rule formalism for graphs. Prior research has shown that hand-authored graph grammars can be used to automatically grade student-produced argument diagrams. But hand-authored rules can be time consuming and expensive to produce, and…

When used effectively, reflective writing tasks can deepen learners' understanding of key concepts, help them critically appraise their developing professional identity, and build qualities for lifelong learning. As such, reflective writing is attracting substantial interest from universities concerned with experiential learning, reflective…

Effective mining of data from online submission systems offers the potential to improve educational outcomes by identifying student habits and behaviours and their relationship with levels of achievement. In particular, it may assist in identifying students at risk of performing poorly, allowing for early intervention. In this paper we investigate…

The increasing interdisciplinarity of scientific research creates both challenges and opportunities for librarians. The liaison model may be inadequate for supporting campus research that represents multiple disciplines and geographically dispersed departments. The identification of units, researchers, and projects is a first step in planning and…

This commentary reflects on the contributions to learning analytics and theory by a paper that describes how multiple theoretical frameworks were woven together to inform the creation of a new, automated discourse analysis tool. The commentary highlights the contributions of the original paper, provides some alternative approaches, and touches on…
