Grounded on constructivism, mining a complex mix of social and cognitive interrelations is key to understanding collaborative discussion in online learning. A single examination of one of these factors tends to overlook the impact of the other factor on learning. In this paper, we innovatively constructed a socialcognitive engagement setting to…

Podcasts are increasingly being used for educational purposes within and outside of the classroom. In the English as a New Language (ENL) classroom, podcasts have been used as a source of authentic auditory input to supplement traditional pedagogical materials. The creation of podcasts by learners has been widely used to encourage language…

The use of information and communication technology-based data systems to support teachers in data-driven decision-making (DDDM) remains limited. Despite the growing number of data systems available, their uptake remains limited, and there is a limited understanding of what data system characteristics increase and factors that influence teacher…

With the rapid advancement of technology, education is undergoing a transformational change. Chatbots have become increasingly popular in recent years and are being utilized as teaching assistants to support teachers and students in various ways. However, little research has been done on the skills required by teachers to prepare curriculum…

This paper presents a scientometric analysis of task-based teaching and learning using CiteSpace based on the research literature retrieved from the Web of Science core collection between 2013 and 2022. CiteSpace is employed to analyze the data, as it minimizes subjectiveness and increases credibility. A total of 1799 bibliographic records related…

Previous research showed that the parents acknowledged the technology's benefits for their young children's learning, however, they are still worried about the extended screen time, lack of physical activity and lack of social interactions. To address these concerns, we developed Kid Space to enable pedagogically appropriate technology use for…

Conventional nursing courses have solely adopted lecture-based instruction for knowledge delivery, which tends to lack interaction, rehearsal, and personalized feedback. The development of chatbot technologies and their broad application have provided an opportunity to solve the abovementioned problems. Some knowledge-based chatbot systems have…

Understanding the relationship between social and cognitive engagement has critical implications for collaborative learning theory, pedagogy and analytics. This study proposed a three-layered social-cognitive network analysis framework for examining the relationship between students' social and cognitive engagement from summative, epistemic and…

Chatbots hold the promise of revolutionizing education by engaging learners, personalizing learning activities, supporting educators, and developing deep insight into learners' behavior. However, there is a lack of studies that analyze the recent evidence-based chatbot-learner interaction design techniques applied in education. This study presents…

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the higher education sector significantly. It forced the stakeholders to do new things and brought many innovations to educational activities.

Duolingo is arguably the most popular language learning app available today, as measured by its metric of achieving 500 million downloads in 2020, yet remarkably little research has been conducted regarding its implementation or efficacy as a language-learning tool. The handful of studies that do exist have found positive outcomes, although…

Learning groups' conversations in computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments result in significant information regarding the content of the course. This information is beneficial for instructors to analyze learners' activities during their collaboration process. In understanding these activities and performance of learners, the…

Digital technology has great potential for second language (L2) pragmatics learning as it creates communicative contexts for learners to practice L2s. However, despite the growing interest in technology enhanced learning, the efficacy of using technology on L2 pragmatics remains unknown. This paper examines the role of technology in L2 pragmatics…

This study investigated the effectiveness of visible-annotation types used in online discussions to enhance the accuracy of shared knowledge and the level of constructed knowledge in computer-supported collaborative learning environments. Three types of visible-annotation were developed specifically for this study, which had the function of…

Fostering learner agency is a primary goal of Integrative Computer Assisted Language Learning, a type of CALL (Warschauer, 1996) that encompasses networked learning and multimedia, including hypermedia. Although navigation has been a focus of attention in some more established CALL scenarios such as Intelligent Computer Assisted Language learning…
