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:…

Teaching Institutions could benefit from Early Warning Systems to identify at-risk students before learning difficulties affect the quality of their acquired knowledge. An Early Warning System can help preemptively identify learners at risk of dropping out by monitoring them and analyzing their traces to promptly react to them so they can continue…

This study examines a level and model for technology acceptability and use in online learning inside universities. The unified theory of UTAUT is used as an analysis tool. An associative quantitative method is used with a sample of 392 students. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires through a specially designed Google Form. The data…

Online learning has become a popular form of education, particularly accelerated by the COVID19 pandemic, providing flexibility but posing challenges like reduced collaboration, limited student-faculty interactions, and decreased engagement. Therefore, there is a pressing need to implement effective instructional modalities, designs, and…

This study empirically tested a model examining the effect of four e-learning quality dimensions, i.e., information quality, system quality, service quality, and instructor quality as well as students' self-efficacy on e-learning behaviour--satisfaction and continued intentions that further affect students' academic performance. The research model…

Online learning environments have become increasingly prevalent in higher education, necessitating an understanding of factors influencing student engagement. This study examines the mediating role of self-regulated online learning in the relationship between five-factor personality traits and student engagement among university students. A sample…

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the effects of four types of cyber entrepreneurship courses on entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and intention. It is based on Social Cognitive Theory and Regulatory Focus Theory, which takes Chinese college students as the research objects. Design/methodology/approach: Approximately 101 senior business…

Over the last decades, using e-learning systems as an alternative format of education for traditional classroom has been growing in higher education and due to COVID-19 pandemic, this transition has been unprecedently accelerated. Although there is a large body of research on e-learning, little is known about the extent to which innovative and…

Despite the massive growth and benefits of online learning platforms, engaging and retaining learners showcases a major challenge in the present scenario. There is a dearth of literature on measuring the antecedent factors of learner engagement behavior through mediating effect in the online learning context. Therefore, the current study was…

Understanding how students engage with feedback is often reduced to a study of feedback messages that sheds little light on effects. Using the emerging notion of feedback encounters as an analytical lens, this study examines what characterizes productive feedback encounters when learning online. Drawing from a cross-national digital ethnographic…

Digital transformation and emerging technologies open a horizon to a new method of teaching and learning and revolutionizes the e-learning industry. The goal of this study is to scrutinize a proposed research model for predicting factors that influence student's behavioral intention to use e-learning system at Begum Rokeya University, Bangladesh.…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to apply systems modeling to explore the usability of the online learning platform in the future compared to its usefulness during the pandemic era. Design/methodology/approach: The applied systems research methodology has been used to develop a stock-flow model encompassing enablers and constraints for…

Aim/Purpose: This research aims to empirically investigate and answer the following research questions: Do students' self-control and smartphone e-learning readiness influence smartphone-cyberloafing, and does gender play a role in this relationship? Background: Research indicates that many students' learning time is wasted due to cyberloafing,…

In this paper, we present an approach for online course evaluation based on learners' behaviors during the learning process, where the course creator can monitor the quality status of their online courses based on learners' learning outcomes and then intervene to improve the success rate. For this purpose, a set of criteria has been developed.…

The purpose of this study is to explore students' backtracking patterns in using a digital textbook, reveal the relationship between backtracking behaviors and academic performance as well as learning styles. This study was carried out for 2 semesters on 102 university students and they are required to use a digital textbook system called DITeL to…
