Purpose: The explosion of technology has revolutionized the teaching and learning process in higher education. Students are using the digital technology to aid their learning process. In this sense, digital divide exists among students in higher education as they come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Thus, this study aims to examine the…

Purpose: This study aims to look at the integration of gamification in an e-learning model based on the technology acceptance model. The data was collected from respondents residing in India and elements of gamification (achievement, immersion and social) and personal characteristics of learners (self-efficacy, computer anxiety and enjoyment) and…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate students' satisfaction, self-efficacy and perceived competencies in a 'technical writing and communication skills' course after the switch of teaching the course from face to face to fully online during and after COVID-19. The study also measured the Achievement of Accreditation Board for Engineering and…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the factors that influence user experience (UX) of eLearning systems implemented in two institutions in Tanzania. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopted questionnaire consisting of Nielsen's heuristics and didactic metrics as pragmatic metrics and hedonic metrics followed by focus group discussions…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess Japanese university students' readiness for taking e-learning language courses. The focus is placed on students' self-analysis of their abilities to use their smart devices for remote language learning activities. Design/methodology/approach: Japanese university students' readiness for the shift…
