The evolving landscape of higher education demands integrating advanced technologies to foster engaging and inclusive learning environments. This paper examines the practical integration of Stellarium, a virtual planetarium software, and ChatGPT, an AI conversational agent, in an asynchronous online undergraduate astronomy course. Stellarium…

This study extends the work of Park and Ellis (2020) with its use of randomized data in Excel® assignments by incorporating a feedback feature that allows students to check their work before submitting it for grading. Three groups of intermediate accounting students complete identical assignments that vary only in the mode of data delivery. One…

In this basic qualitative study, faculty hesitation toward using Moodle learning management system (LMS) for instructional delivery was investigated. The research question focused on how faculty perspectives on their hesitation toward using the institution's LMS in the Faculty of Social Sciences at a Caribbean university in Guyana reflect the…

University laboratories deliver unique hands-on experimentation opportunities for STEM students, but often lack state-of-the-art equipment and provide limited access to their equipment. The University of Texas Cloud Laboratory (CLAB) provides remote access to cutting-edge series elastic actuators for student experimentation regarding…

This article investigates the impact of LMS-based integrated online assessment implementation (LbIOA) on fostering learning motivation and academic performance from tertiary students' experiences and instructors' perspectives. A total of 156 students and seven teachers from the English department at a university in Vietnam participated in the…

In higher education, academic advising is crucial to students' decision-making. Data-driven models can benefit students in making informed decisions by providing insightful recommendations for completing their degrees. To suggest courses for the upcoming semester, various course recommendation models have been proposed in the literature using…

Among the many options for a learning management system (LMS), Office 365 is one of the most popular among colleges and universities in the Philippines and abroad. While there are substantial studies conducted on the use of LMS for online communication in general, action research conducted to a specific higher education institution is still needed…

Microsoft Excel and Access are widely used in introductory courses designed to teach the fundamentals of spreadsheet and relational database modeling skills in various disciplines. To achieve the targeted learning outcomes, instructors of these courses strive to provide students with guided, frequent, and incrementally fruitful practice with the…

Providing timely and personalized feedback on open-ended student responses is a challenge in education due to the increased workloads and time constraints educators face. While existing research has explored how learning analytic approaches can support feedback provision, previous studies have not sufficiently investigated educators' perspectives…

This study explores the user experience (UX) of academics and students in using a Moodle-based learning management system (LMS) and provides opportunities for improvement. The study employs a qualitative approach to gain a deep understanding of user perspectives, combining focus group discussions (FGDs) with the user experience questionnaire…

Educational process mining aims (EPM) to help teachers understand the overall learning process of their students. Although deep learning models have shown promising results in many domains, the event log dataset in many online courses may not be large enough for deep learning models to approximate the probability distribution of students' learning…

While eLearning digital homework platforms have been around for several years, it was only during the COVID pandemic that they moved to the mainstream as face-to-face teaching was replaced by hybrid and even fully online course delivery. Teachers have used the eLearning platforms to reach students remotely yet there has been little research on…

Innovative, pedagogically informed instructional design is instrumental in increasing student engagement and improving learning outcomes in online learning environments. Interactive learning resources provide students with the opportunity to engage with content in a more personalised manner. H5P (HTML 5 Package) is a collaborative platform that…

Quizzes using test-enhanced learning features of spaced, varied, and interleaved retrieval practice have been shown to support consolidation of knowledge gains in students. In this pilot study, we examined the test-enhanced learning potential of a novel quizzing method designed to Spiral Assessment to Reinforce Knowledge (SPARK; Hageman, 2020)…
