Motivation is critical to student success in learning environments. However, changes in situation-specific motivation over time are rarely explored among online learners. Drawing from the Situated Expectancy Theory (SEVT), in the current study, I examined changes in situational task-specific task value and cost over the short term and tested the…

In the traditional teaching mode, it is difficult for teachers to have a comprehensive understanding of each student's study, and it is also hard for them to provide targeted guidance and assistance. With the development of data collection and analysis technology, schools and educational institutions can make better use of big data technology to…

Purpose: This study examines learner satisfaction and success as mechanisms through which online learning quality translates into learners' continuous intentions of use by extending DeLone and McLean's information system success model. It also examines the moderating effect of perceived supervisory support and learners' self-regulation on online…

Promoting continuous learning behavior is a key challenge for online learning. The present paper empirically examines the effects of course network characteristics including course network size, course network diversity, and course strong ties on continuance behavior, considering the moderating impacts of social learning and social exposure.…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is critical in online learning, and profiling learners' SRL patterns is needed to provide personalized support. However, little research has examined how each learner performs the cyclical phases of SRL based on trace data. To fill the gap, this study attempts to derive SRL profiles encompassing all cyclical phases of…

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the impact of a digital growth mindset on the academic performance of business students in China as well as the role of gender in this relationship. The study provides feasible ways to foster such a mindset to ensure quality in business education. Design/methodology/approach: The paper employs a survey to…

Nowadays, with the progress of society, especially in recent years with the emergence and development of artificial intelligence, technology and the Internet have been integrated into every aspect of people's lives. In the education industry, there are also the emergence of products combining these technologies, such as webcasting classes,…

Distance learning is well-known to students in South Africa. Previous studies have focused mainly on face-to-face tutorials. This study aimed to investigate student support and student performance in online tutorials using the theory of transactional distance. A census survey and quantitative approach were used to achieve the research objectives.…

Workshops create a collaborative and/or sharing environment that supports our design education and turns it into an interactive one. They are important meeting places for students who continue their design education in different disciplines in different places to communicate and provide common working platforms. Therefore, such organisations,…

The paper deals with the complex theme of the online universities in Italy, starting from the phenomenon historical reconstruction and framing the universities on the basis of the main analysis metrics (property, training offer, organic, territorial dislocation). Subsequently, the paper examines the composition and characteristics of the students…

Private universities are increasingly shaping the global higher education landscape, with distance education playing a key role in their expansion. While research has explored institutional and policy factors influencing private higher education, the role of student satisfaction within this framework remains underexamined. This study addresses…

This study aims to develop a thorough understanding and assessment of the mobile learning readiness (MLR) construct in higher education settings. This study conceptualizes MLR as an eight-dimensional construct encompassing self-directed learning ability, self-efficacy in using mobile learning, mobile learning effort expectation, mobile learning…

Purpose: Although the academic literature provides extensive insight into the motivations for the unethical use of information technology in online classes, little is known about how perceived justice, the opportunity to cheat and spiritual legitimacy mitigate unethical behavior among young academics. The purposes of this study are two folds:…

Background: Despite the significant emphasis on self-determination in special education and the crucial role of mobile learning, there is a notable absence of path modelling studies that explore the effect of self-determination on the usage of mobile learning by students with special needs. Objectives: This study sought to investigate the…

In recent years educational institutions are increasingly using online learning and because of this trend it is necessary to investigate its impact on student academic performance. Although this topic has been addressed in different educational fields before, there is an objective justification for our approach. Thus, the reasoning behind this…
