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…

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…

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…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the key variable to ensuring success or failure in online learning. However, in real-world online learning, college students face SRL deficiency, such as procrastination, decreased learning motivation, poor time management, and resource management. Therefore, scientifically exploring how to effectively promote the…

This study investigates students' perceptions of rehearsal (test preparation) and testing after the pandemic forced increased online teaching use and experimentation. Data was gathered from information and decision sciences (IDS) students in an underrepresented minority (URM) serving university. Responses from 136 participants were analyzed and…

Social factors, including social ties (the extent to which students form social ties with other students in the course) and social capital (the resources which are accessed through our social networks), have been acknowledged as important predictors of learning outcomes. Furthermore, they may be particularly important in online distance learning…

In this article, we preliminarily discuss the limitations of current video conferencing platforms in online synchronous learning. Research has shown that while the involved technologies are appropriate for collaborative video calls, they often fail to replicate the rich nature of face-to-face interactions among students and between students and…

Research shows that mindfulness interventions for test anxiety in a college student population are beneficial (Lothes, Matney, & Naseer, 2022). This study assessed the effects of online mindfulness practices over a 5-week period on anxiety and test anxiety in college students. Participants included 20 students that were randomly assigned to…

This study focuses on the online learning abilities of university students, a crucial skill in today's digital age. This research collected data from students (n = 945) from China with a questionnaire of 40 questions in two scales. The researchers made factor analyses concerning university students' online learning ability, which included 19…

Learning processes can now be transferred to digital environments, allowing for the tracking of learners' digital footprints. The field of learning analytics focuses on the efficient use of these digital records to improve both learning experiences and processes. Dashboards are the tangible outputs of learning analytics. The use of dashboards in…

As the world is evolving, higher education is too. This includes online service-learning which in the past has been predominantly delivered in formats off-line or hybrid. This article describes some best practices to make the online service-learning experience beneficial for all who are involved and accessible to more students, including students…
