The COVID-19 pandemic sparked an unprecedented expansion of educational technologies and digitisation of the university sector, and also amplified existing inequalities and crises. In this paper, we introduce the 'socio-technically just pedagogies framework' to systemically explore curriculum-making, student-staff partnerships, knowledge…

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…

Sentiment evolution is a key component of interactions in blended learning. Although interactions have attracted considerable attention in online learning contexts, there is scant research on examining sentiment evolution over different interactions in blended learning environments. Thus, in this study, sentiment evolution at different interaction…

The emergence of social networks in the university context has contributed to modify students' behaviour, conditioning their academic performance and learning preferences. The objective is to analyse the influence of the patterns of use of social networks when predicting the usefulness that university students, give to different digital…

Purpose: The Internet of things (IoT), an emerging research field, offers solutions to several problems and may result in a paradigm shift in various areas, including education. However, this approach has been under-utilised. Therefore, this research investigates and highlights the primary factors that influence the impact of the IoT on education…

This workshop brings together research on self-reflection tools and frameworks focusing on the development of digital skills and competences in Education. The workshop reported mainly on work about SELFIE and SELFIEforTEACHERS two self-reflection tools developed by JRC in collaboration with DG-EAC. The aim of this workshop was to compile the…

Previous research has shown that teachers' informal learning in social networks is of great importance for their professional development. Participation in social networks is often characterised by knowledge exchange between employees with the aim of dealing with work-related challenges or improving the work practice. In this study, attention was…

SDG4 calls for ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education while promoting lifelong learning opportunities for everyone. To achieve this, there's a need to advance digital education to support personalized and lifelong learning by broadening access to high-quality educational resources. Higher education models are continually evolving to…

This study aimed to determine the difference in students' level of understanding before and after using synchronous and asynchronous network learning modes. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental research design. Data were obtained from 87 students who were divided into two experimental groups. The results show a higher level of…

Drawing on research syntheses from the meta project Digi-EBF as well as the German Education Server, this contribution discusses how web products and services offered by the Information Center for Education at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education address and support educational communities. In the area of research…

The global demand for wireless communication networks is a result of the widespread use of wireless devices and the related surge of wireless service providers. Data transmission speed, coverage areas, cost-effectiveness, resource utilization, security, scalability, and adaptability are all elements expected to be improved in future 5G wireless…

Along with increasing the complexity of learning objectives, the traditional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are insufficient in improving students' learning achievement. Advanced VLEs can be created to overcome this challenge by combining traditional VLEs with Virtual Lab Network Simulation (Vilanets) learning media. This research, conducted…

The purpose of the present study is to identify the effect of forming small learning communities through Padlet in knowledge building and psychological and cognitive Engagement. Specifically, to discover the degree of continuity of the effect of forming small learning communities through Padlet in knowledge building and psychological and cognitive…

There are few studies devoted to analyze the relationships between the structure of the social network and performance in the online learning process as group. In this study, the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model is used as an analytical framework, along with quantitative content analysis and social network analysis, in order to identify the effect…

With this research, it was aimed to determine the educational Informatics Network (EBA) [Egitim Bilisim Agi] usage purposes of 12th grade students in secondary education institutions and their views on EBA. 452 students attending the 12th grade at six secondary schools randomly selected in the city center of Kars in the 2015-2016 academic year…
