With the rapid development of Internet technology, distance online education and training is becoming an important part of the education and training market. Based on the theory of perceived value, taking the distance online education and training platform as the research object, this paper establishes a sample database, analyzes the reliability,…

Based on the instructional interaction principles outlined by Chen and Wang (2016) in third-generation distance learning, this study employs a recursive logical perspective on the evolution of the theory of interaction in distance education. It constructs a structural equation model to measure the mediating utility path of the learner's proactive…

This study explores the personalization of gamification in educational contexts, particularly adaptive approaches to meet diverse learner needs. The study examines terminologies and offer definitions for adaptive, tailored, personalized, and customized gamification. Personalization serves as an umbrella term covering any changes in the process.…

In distance learning, recommendation system (RS) aims to generate personalized recommendations to learners, which allows them an easy access to various contents at any time. This paper discusses the main RSs employed in E-learning and identifies new research directions to overcome their weaknesses. Existing RSs such as content-based, collaborative…

This research overview investigates the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, focusing on challenges encountered during the shift to online learning. Drawing insights from studies in New Zealand, Oman, Malaysia, and Germany, the overview explores diverse experiences of educators and students. The abrupt transition to online learning…

One-to-one online learning has become pervasive in distance education. However, factors affecting learners' continuance intention toward one-to-one online learning are not well known. This study proposed a model to explain learners' continuance intention toward one-to-one online learning. The model extends previous technology acceptance models and…

The immediate shift to virtual instruction during the spring of 2020 forced educators worldwide to quickly adopt distance learning philosophies, technologies, and pedagogies. This lean adoption of virtual learning tools saw an unprecedented number of educators embrace new modalities of providing feedback to students. This paper explores those…

Most of the studies establishing factors affecting digital text and multimedia comprehension have been conducted in controlled conditions. The present study sought to test and extend the modality and seductive details effects, and the role of verbal ability and working memory capacity, to a remote, self-paced, E-learning scenario. Two hundred and…

In the effort to "flatten the curve" of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers were required to adapt their curricula, pedagogy, and relationships with their students to remote learning structures. Using data gathered through an online qualitative survey of over 800 Chicago teachers in July 2020, this article will examine the ways that the…

Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is embarking on an educational innovation program called SUTD campusX to support its future of education. SUTD campusX aims to innovate new educational models, technology tools, and pedagogies for a new form of learning called "Cyber-Physical Learning", where the concept is that both…

The challenges teachers face with virtual learning existed previously but were heightened by the quick move from in-person to virtual learning caused by the pandemic. Researchers have investigated virtual learning for students with disabilities and have made recommendations including supplemental online resources for individualization and…

This paper explores the development of educational technology research over the last 50 years. This is done by considering what has influenced this development and what are current trends. The issue is further explored by considering what influence these trends have had on the development of distance learning pedagogy, especially for the education…

The aim of the research was to investigate teachers' perspectives on the elements of emergency e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted with 134 teachers from different types of schools in Poland during the first wave of crisis e-learning (March - May 2020). The variables included in the analysis comprise teachers' use…

"Online learning"--learning that involves interactions that are mediated through using digital, typically internet-based, technology--is pervasive, multi-faceted, and evolving, creating opportunities and challenges for educational research in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this special issue, we advance an interdisciplinary agenda…

As co-teachers tackle the unique challenges of instructing in remote, hybrid, and socially distanced brick-and-mortar settings they can increase their success by incorporating technology solutions into their shared classrooms. Technology can facilitate co-teachers' implementation of small-group instruction, increase options for student engagement…
