Background and Objective: The positivity principle states that students learn better from instructors who display positive rather than negative or neutral emotions in multimedia lessons (Lawson et al. 2021a). This study extends this work by exploring the role of affective and social cues displayed by feedback providers, such as their emotional…

This study explores the effectiveness of video demonstrations compared to live classroom visits for promoting writing center services to students in first-year writing courses. Using a randomized cluster experimental design, the researchers implemented either an in-person demonstration, a video demonstration, or no intervention (control). Pre- and…

Students are unable to view each other's VR content created with 360-degree video technology using head-mounted displays and discuss it in real-time. This limitation may confine the application of 360degree video technology in the field of intercultural learning to merely passive observation of cultural content on individual devices, thereby…

Introduction: This study aimed to understand the implications of e-learning on inclusive education for learners with disabilities in higher education institutions in Zimbabwe. Methods: Qualitative methodologies were used to yield a valuable understanding of diverse social occurrences. Purposive sampling and Snowball sampling were used to gather…

Atomic-level visualizations serve as pivotal instructional tools in chemistry education, providing insights into the particulate level of matter, a dimension fundamental, yet typically invisible, in the study of chemistry. This research investigates how students' engagement with these visualizations influences their conceptual understanding of…

This quantitative research analyses the perception of students about the use of flipped classroom and technological tools in the functions unit considering the machine learning algorithms on linear regression, a decision tree and neural networks. This research proposes consulting YouTube videos about functions and use of the Desmos application in…

The study investigated the relationships among quality dimensions, three types of interactions (i.e. learner-content, learner-instructor, and learner-learner interaction), perceived learning and learning satisfaction with flipped courses in the context of the flipped classroom based on the information system (IS) success model. In this study, the…
