The exponential growth of technology in the e-learning sector has reshaped the traditional way of learning because of its efficient and flexible nature. However, e-learning is still in the rudimentary phase of progress in developing countries at schools and universities. It needs to investigate the critical features behind the embracing of…

In this paper, we develop a context-aware, tablet-based learning module for adult education. Specifically, we focus on adult education in healthcare-teaching learners to perform a medical screening procedure. Based upon how learners navigate through the learning module (e.g. swipe-speed and click duration, among others), we use machine learning to…

The emergence of massive open online courses not only changes the ecology of higher education, but also facilitates a blending learning paradigm, also known as small private online courses (SPOCs). In order to understand how college students interact with an SPOC platform, this study collects their online behaviors for a semester and adopts a lag…

This paper outlines how an existing collaborative forecasting tool called a prediction market (PM) can be integrated into an educational context to enhance information literacy skills and cognitive disciplinary knowledge. The paper makes a number of original contributions. First, it describes how this tool can be packaged as a pedagogical…

The use of handheld computers in educational contexts has increased considerably in recent years and their value as a teaching tool has been confirmed by many positive experiences, particular within collaborative learning systems (Mobile Computer Supported Collaborative Learning [MCSCL]). The cost of the devices has hindered widespread use in…

Universities can offer eLearning 2.0 tools and services to learners while obtaining clear benefits from releasing the control over some learning content. This means a shift from the institution centred and monolithic model of traditional virtual learning environments (VLEs) to a more heterogeneous and open model. This article tries to plot an…
