It is pointed out that one of the main problems of online learning environments is determining whether students engage or not. As engagement is a complex and multifaceted concept, researchers have stated that engagement is effected by many factors (environmental conditions and learner characteristics) and changes according to the context. Among…

Contribution: The study examines the predictive and mediating significance of social and teaching presences on cognitive presence in a Community of Inquiry (CoI) mediated by a desktop virtual reality (VR). The findings of this study have implications for how to leverage VR learning environments to support meaningful collaborative engagement.…

This study examines a level and model for technology acceptability and use in online learning inside universities. The unified theory of UTAUT is used as an analysis tool. An associative quantitative method is used with a sample of 392 students. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires through a specially designed Google Form. The data…

Most postsecondary instructors in the United States require students to use textbooks in their courses; however, the cost of commercial materials has increased, and copyright policies impede sharing, editing, and customizations of materials. The current study aimed to examine faculty motivation to adopt Open Educational Resources (OER) and how OER…

Building and testing a framework of interactive and indirect predictors of student satisfaction would help us understand how to improve student online learning experience. The current study proposed that external predictors such as poor technological, environmental, and pedagogical factors would be internalized as negative psychological traits and…

Purpose: The study evaluates new approach of digital extension services for the long-term adoption of digital extension technologies. We propose an indirect adoption approach to address following research questions. What socioeconomic factors influence rice farmers' decision to prefer one business profile over another? Which business profile is…

This study uses one-step meta-analytic structural equation modelling to delve into the technology acceptance model's (TAM) application within education, assessing perceived usefulness, ease of use, intentions to use, and actual technology use. It synthesises previous findings to validate the TAM's effectiveness and uncover the model's predictive…

Background: University students need to self-regulate but are sometimes incapable of doing so. Learning Analytics Dashboards (LADs) can support students' appraisal of study behaviour, from which goals can be set and performed. However, it is unclear how goal-setting and self-motivation within self-regulated learning elicits behaviour when using an…

Students' attitudes towards distance education can be shaped by the compatibility of their learning styles with this new educational environment. The study aimed to investigate whether various variables and e-learning styles predict student's attitudes towards distance education. The present research was conducted on 387 students enrolled in the…

With COVID-19 compelling some countries to close their schools, e-learning has now become the primary mode of learning. Researchers have renewed their interest in users' acceptance of e-learning via different platforms, given the possibility of different results relative to what was known pre-pandemic. However, e-learning still poses issues such…

Although numerous studies have demonstrated the potential benefits of augmented reality (AR) in education, the influence of education students' learning experiences on their AR technology acceptance in the classroom has yet to be examined thoroughly. In this empirical study, we explored the affective experiences (i.e., positive emotions, negative…

Learning engagement is considered a reliable predictor for evaluating the effectiveness of online learning and has become a focal point in online education in recent years. This study investigated the roles and mechanisms of social presence and online learning self-efficacy in mediating the relationship between perceived teacher emotional support…

The integration of educational data mining and deep neural networks, along with the adoption of the Apriori algorithm for generating association rules, focuses to resolve the problem of misdirection of students in the university, leading to their failure and dropout. This is reached through the development of an intelligent model that predicts the…

In the current scenario, Swayam learning is becoming a part of the curriculum of higher education. At this point, the prospective teachers are not staying away from the word "swayam." In the curriculum of the College of Education, there is a compulsory certificate course from Swayam Learning App. All the candidates who are getting a…

Online supplementary education has been prevalent in recent years due to the advent of technology (e.g., live streaming) and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the performance of students in this mode of education varies greatly, and the underlying reasons are yet to be investigated. This study aims to understand the impact of various factors and…
