The lightboard, an affordable and readily accessible tool, has become a promising approach for enhancing engagement in instructional videos. Despite its potential, previous studies have primarily highlighted the benefits of lightboard videos by evaluating learners' subjective experiences, with limited empirical research examining their impact on…

This research project investigates the impact of prompt engineering, a key aspect of chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT), on college students' information retrieval in flipped classrooms. In recent years, an increasing number of students have been using AI-based tools, such as ChatGPT rather than traditional research engines to learn…

Cultural differences can impact how learning is delivered in higher education. Past studies have overlooked the impacts of specific cultures on learning and technology integration, and therefore, this article explores aspects of culture and resource implications for technology-enabled learning. The study collected data from students, lecturers,…

Digital teachers represent an innovative fusion of media and artificial intelligence (AI) within online educational environments. However, the specific ways in which the appearance anthropomorphism of digital teachers influences the delivery of different knowledge types remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on Embodied Learning Theory and…

The metaverse is a network of interoperable and persistent 3-D virtual worlds where users can coexist and interact through mechanisms, such as gamification, nonfungible tokens, and cryptocurrencies. Although the metaverse is a theoretical construct today, many collaborative virtual reality (CVR) applications have emerged as potential components of…

The growing prevalence of advanced generative artificial intelligence chatbots, such as ChatGPT, in the educational sector has raised considerable interest in understanding their impact on student knowledge and exploring effective and sustainable implementation strategies. This research investigates the influence of knowledge management factors on…

Fostering productive engagement within teams has been found to improve student learning outcomes. Consequently, characterizing productive and unproductive time during teamwork sessions is a critical preliminary step to increase engagement in teamwork meetings. However, research from the cognitive sciences has mainly focused on characterizing…

Automotive engine assembly and disassembly are common and crucial programs in the automotive industry. Traditional education trains students to learn automotive engine assembly and disassembly in lecture courses and then to operate with physical engines, which are generally low effectiveness and high cost. In this article, we developed a…

Problem solving, worked examples, and erroneous examples have proven to be effective learning activities in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). However, it is generally unknown how to select learning activities adaptively in ITSs to maximize learning. In the previous work of A. Shareghi Najar and A. Mitrovic, alternating worked examples with…

As institutions of higher education increasingly utilize online learning management systems, college students are asked to submit more assignments online. Under this regime, when most assignments are posted and submitted online, it is possible to know if a student is missing a submission for an imminent deadline, and to intervene proactively to…

Recent research indicates that the majority of postsecondary students in North America "feel overwhelming anxiety," an issue that has also been observed in many other regions and is negatively impacting students' academic performance and overall well-being. This article reports the results of our interdisciplinary analysis of innovative…

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a collection of technologies to bring the Internet to physically embedded devices and to embed them deeply into human activities to aid in a variety of activities. IoT gained traction with developers and consumers in recent years, driven by low-cost open-source hardware that enables easy prototyping and testing. IoT…

This article investigated the impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) content, using 360-degree videos, in undergraduate education. To improve the delivery and reality of 360-degree VR content, we filmed the video in the third person so that the viewers could feel like they were in the environment where the lecture was conducted. To verify the…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education is currently receiving much attention from governments and educational institutions. Our work is based on active learning and video-based learning approaches to support STEM education. Here, we aimed to increase students' engagement through reflective processes that embrace video…

Blended courses that mix in-person instruction with online platforms are increasingly common in secondary education. These platforms record a rich amount of data on students' study habits and social interactions. Prior research has shown that these metrics are correlated with students performance in face-to-face classes. However, predictive models…
