The extant literature on the use of social media marketing for recruiting higher education students has an unstructured nature. To address this gap, this paper introduces a novel method called 'algorithmic document sequencing' (ADS) that links the key findings of 43 relevant articles procured from all databases to one another on the use of social…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review and categorize current trends in student engagement and performance prediction using machine learning techniques during online learning in higher education. The goal is to gain a better understanding of student engagement prediction research that is important for current educational planning and…

With the development of education technology, Smart classroom has evolved to version 2.0. Currently, the meta-analysis literature on the effects of smart classroom-based instruction on academic achievement ignores the impact of technological changes and time on the effect sizes. This study incorporated the impact of technological changes and time,…

In the higher education context, an increasing concern on the technical or instrumental approach permeates attention to academics' data literacies and faculty development. The need for data literacy to deal specifically with the rise of learning analytics in higher education has been raised by some authors, though in spite of some focus on the…

Describes structured care approaches, such as protocols, clinical pathways, and algorithms, which are being used increasingly to organize clinical knowledge and guide patient care. Reviews the types of structured care approaches available to the clinician and explores the value of structured care approaches in practice and education. (Contains 32…

Describes shortcomings of computer science/engineering education and explains a new focus on informatics. Highlights include simulation, visualization, algorithmization, design of information processing models, parallel computing, a history of informatics, informatics versus physics and mathematics, and implications for education. (51 references)…

Recent developments in econometrics that are relevant to the task of estimating costs in higher education are reviewed. The relative effectiveness of alternative statistical procedures for estimating costs are also tested. Statistical cost estimation involves three basic parts: a model, a data set, and an estimation procedure. Actual data are used…

Describes the history and development of the algorithm that was used to produce a union list of monographs for ALEPH (Automated Library Expandable Program Hebrew University), Israel's research library network. The literature on merging online records is reviewed, case studies are examined, and problems with matching and merging online…

Reviews 10 computerized business simulations used to teach business policy courses, discusses problems with measuring performance, and presents a statistically based approach to assessing performance that permits individual team goal setting as part of the computer model, and allows simulated firms to start with different financial and operating…
