Classroom engagement is a critical factor for evaluating students' learning outcomes and teachers' instructional strategies. Traditional methods for detecting classroom engagement, such as coding and questionnaires, are often limited by delays, subjectivity, and external interference. While some neural network models have been proposed to detect…

Data collection is crucial in securing evidence to support students' arguments during scientific inquiries. However, due to the high costs associated with equipping schools with various measurement devices, students are limited in the scope of their scientific inquiry. Arduino can be proposed as a solution to the lack of measurement devices in…

Cultural differences can impact how learning is delivered in higher education. Past studies have overlooked the impacts of specific cultures on learning and technology integration, and therefore, this article explores aspects of culture and resource implications for technology-enabled learning. The study collected data from students, lecturers,…

Teacher dashboards provide insights on students' progress through visualizations and scores derived from data generated during teaching and learning activities (e.g., response times and task correctness) to improve teaching. Despite the potential usefulness of enhancing teacher dashboards, and the respective teaching practices, with rich…

Digital teachers represent an innovative fusion of media and artificial intelligence (AI) within online educational environments. However, the specific ways in which the appearance anthropomorphism of digital teachers influences the delivery of different knowledge types remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on Embodied Learning Theory and…
