The purpose of this qualitative action research study was to explore the teachers' perceptions on the challenges they experienced using the Schoology learning management system when teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. I used a qualitative method with a phenomenological design. I interviewed 10 teachers using a semi-structured format, that use…

This paper describes a Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) design approach for developing learning analytics (LA) dashboards for K-12 classrooms that maintain both contextual relevance and scalability--two goals that are often in competition. Using mixed methods, we collected observational and interview data from teacher partners and…

We analyze the thesis that a fully immersive gamified learning platform benefits students, improving their enjoyment, time management, and performance by engaging them with the subject matter. We assert that an immersive experience centered around a true game produces better results than exercises with just a few gamified elements (e.g., points,…

This article explores an inventive approach to teaching physiology that blends the use of the Notability app on the iPad with video-based learning to visually explain intricate physiological concepts in real time. The core idea is to offer students a more dynamic and interactive way to comprehend complex physiological concepts during review…

Lecture Capture (LC) material is accepted to be an available and accessible resource for students in universities across the world. This exploratory study investigates the "when viewing" LC material engagement of accounting undergraduate students. Three categories of engagement are defined, Near-Event-Viewing (NEV), Get-Round-to-Viewing…

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the use of technology such as Moodle in course delivery to facilitate student engagement. This research explored how lecturers delivered courses through Moodle and how students perceived interaction with instructors, content, and peers via Moodle and the influence on student satisfaction. This mixed-method…

Liu Sanjie Ge Yao, a significant cultural artifact among the Zhuang people in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, faces challenges due to modernization and globalization, threatening its continuity. The primary objective is to investigate and analyze Chinese folk music literacy through the transmission and preservation on the Liu Sanjie Ge Yao…

The use of flipped learning (FL) is increasing in higher education with enormous educational benefits. But limited research has investigated the relationships of students' transactional distance (TD) perceptions, engagement, and course satisfaction in FL. This correlational study was conducted to explore these important factors and their…

Feedback is essential in learning. The emerging concept of feedback literacy underscores the skills students require for effective use of feedback. This highlights students' responsibilities in the feedback process. Yet, there is currently a lack of mechanisms to understand how students make sense of feedback and whether they act on it. This gap…

In this article, we examine the linkage between students' game-playing motivations and a wide variety of gamification elements within higher marketing education. Using an interpretive and convergent mixed-methods design, we discover four clusters of students that vary in terms of their game-motivational bases and views on gamification elements.…

The study aims to examine student emotions and behavior in a Gamified Learning Environment (GLE) in detail. In the study, in order to reveal the behavior (dynamics) and feelings (emotions) that emerge within the framework of the mechanics applied in the GLE process, it is within the scope of the main objectives of the study to determine how…

This study aims to test the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) that relates the type of gamification activities based on the student hybrid player type to the engagement of undergraduate students at a Saudi Arabia public university. By measuring the influence of the type of gamification and the hybrid player types on the student's…

This study explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) in geometry education and examines the immersive platform's potential to enhance student engagement and understanding through a case report. While students appreciated the interactive and collaborative aspects of VR, they also faced challenges such as VR sickness and technical issues.…

Pre-class learning plays a crucial role in the teaching and learning of the flipped classroom. While it is a challenging task to stimulate students to engage in pre-class autonomous learning, especially for the learning of a foreign language that requires a long-term commitment. In this study, we dealt with the problem of how to improve and…

Discussion boards have been around for more than two decades. They are a feature of most learning management systems (LMS)2 and are one of the earliest tools used in fully online classes, particularly for asynchronous classes. The goal of this article is to provide guidance to instructors in using discussion boards to create an engaging and…
