Forty-eight (48) K-12 teachers in two US states completed five repetitions of a 15-minute simulated teaching lesson in which six of their 12 simulated students in a class were labeled as having and were embodied with special learning needs, while the other six were without special learning needs. Analysis of three measures of differential focus in…

The rising demand for high-quality, timely content for online and blended learning environments presents significant challenges for instructional designers, particularly in managing resource-intensive tasks such as video production and image sourcing. This study investigates the impact of using artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large…

The rapid surge of digitalization in the education sector has redefined the dynamics of the modern classroom. In a world that embraces convenience, online learning has established its own relevance and has been a subject of considerable interest to researchers worldwide. The majority of studies have focused upon factors that make or break the…

This study investigated the implementation and effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) system integrated within Learning Management Systems (LMS) for automatically generating student learning resources from faculty-selected materials. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research examined both the technical feasibility and pedagogical…

Instructor-made-videos (IMVs) are often used to foster learning in higher education. However, there is a dearth of studies on IMVs for any instructor to understand and replicate the success. In response, to better inform practice, the impact of IMVs on learning effectiveness and satisfaction was evaluated. Thereafter, an actionable framework…

This article identifies the quality themes of distance learning that arose from the learners' perspective as reflected in the literature. The paper reviews literature through the four themes of 1) Course design, 2) Interaction, 3) Learner support and 4) Technology Use. Key quality indicators in distance learning that appear repeatedly in research…

For the last two decades, higher education institutions have been actively engaged in the use of online technologies with the aim of transforming the ways we teach and learn to improve students' learning experiences and outcomes. However, despite significant investment in infrastructure and training and a wide-scale uptake of such technologies,…

The purpose of this study is to examine employees' acceptance levels towards e-learning in the workplace. By using "The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology" (UTAUT), our model captured the effect of factors influencing employees' intention to use e-learning in the workplace. Data was collected from 261 employees in a food…

This is a study of the influence of social and cultural factors on the adoption of e-learning in higher education in Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore and Australia. Particular attention in each case was given to factors relating to social capital, attitudes and patterns of behavior in leadership, entrepreneurialism, and teaching and to…

The purpose of this study was to compare the traditional teaching method of Concepts of Fitness (CF) with a teaching method using the Internet as an instructional supplement. Participants in the study were 52 students (27 male, 25 female) from a four-year institution of higher learning. Participants were enrolled in a required, general education…

Different Learning Paradigms can be presented by different educators as a result of utilizing several types of Information and Communication Technologies in the Learning Process. The three abstract Learning Delivery Models are: "Traditional", "Distance", and "Hybrid Learning". Hybrid Learning attempts to maintain the…

Storytelling may be a powerful instructional approach for engaging learners and facilitating e-learning. However, relatively little is known about how to apply story within the context of systematic instructional design processes and claims for the effectiveness of storytelling in training and education have been primarily anecdotal and…

For many years now E-learning researchers have been discussing the use of laptops in educational settings. The One Laptop per Child project, (OLPC project), has been used in developing countries since the year 2002 to avoid the increase of the digital divide between those with ready access to technology and those with limited access. Austria has…
