Omer Kocak – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2024
Student response systems (SRSs) increase the engagement of students by supporting them to participate in the course and thus contribute to their academic achievement. However, in most of the experimental studies in which the effects of SRSs were investigated, details on how to integrate SRSs into the course were not provided. This study aimed to…

Ait-Adda, Samia; Bousbia, Nabila; Balla, Amar – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2023
Our aim in this paper is to improve the efficiency of a learning process by using learners' traces to detect particular needs. The analysis of the semantic path of a learner or group of learners during the learning process can allow detecting those students who are in needs of help as well as identify the insufficiently mastered concepts. We…

Moresi, Marco; Gomez, Marcos J.; Benotti, Luciana – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Based on hundreds of thousands of hours of data about how students learn in massive open online courses, educational machine learning promises to help students who are learning to code. However, in most classrooms, students and assignments do not have enough historical data for feeding these data hungry algorithms. Previous work on predicting…

Tim Kühl; Felicia Teske; Martin Merkt; Christina Sondermann – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
The empirical evidence concerning the question whether an instructor should be presented on online lecture slides is equivocal and two lines of theoretical reasoning exist. On the one hand, the instructor may distract from the content, thereby hampering learning; on the other hand, the instructor may function as a social cue that triggers a more…

John C. Griffith; Emily K. Faulconer – Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, 2024
Today's undergraduate students often must balance coursework with other personal and professional commitments. While much attention has been placed on effective strategies for helping students manage workload, curriculum optimization has been largely overlooked. In an analysis of a university lower-level online STEM course, a course redesign…

Faulconer, Emily K.; Bolch, Charlotte; Wood, Beverly – Journal of Research in Innovative Teaching & Learning, 2023
Purpose: As online course enrollments increase, it is important to understand how common course features influence students' behaviors and performance. Asynchronous online courses often include a discussion forum to promote community through interaction between students and instructors. Students interact both socially and cognitively; instructors'…

Balkaran, Priya – Online Submission, 2023
Retention for online learners is declining so much that higher education institutions are graduating more learners than they are enrolling. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to find ways to improve retention for first-term non-traditional learners in an online undergraduate program. Fourteen non-traditional learners participated in the…

Liu, Chan; Liu, Hao; Tan, Zhanglu – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
In online education, the appropriate choice of means of knowledge visualization can reduce cognitive load and improve cognitive efficiency. However, no universal basis for selection can cause confusion in the pedagogical context. This study used the revised Bloom's taxonomy to combine the types of knowledge with cognitive goals. We used a course…
