Due to its outstanding advantages of openness, unrestraint and low cost, MOOCs have been growing rapidly in recent years. However, this new self-directed online learning model faces the challenge of the low course completion rate. Based on self-determination theory, this paper combines learners' intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, and…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are the product of "internet + education", offering open educational resources to global students. This study analyzed the factors influencing students' intention to continue using MOOCs based on their satisfaction. To achieve research objectives this study integrates the unified theory of acceptance…

Airway management is one of the main situations that required nursing skills. Actual airway management experience on live patients is limited due to few opportunities to perform endotracheal intubation for students and issues related to students' liability. Therefore, this study evaluated the effect of High Fidelity Simulation airway management…

Online learning became more commonplace all over the world in the post-pandemic era; however, the research on how to promote Online Persistent Learning (OPL) was still in its infancy. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the influencing factors of Online Persistent Learning Supported by Intelligent Technology (OPLSIT) based on the dimensions of…

Almost in every aspect of life, classification and categorization make it easier for humans to analyze complex structures and systems. In games, the classification of the players based on their demographics, behaviors, expectations and preferences of the game is important to increase players' motivation and satisfaction. Likewise, knowing the…

The Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction or ARCS model is an effective motivational model that has been widely accepted by education practitioners. Literature on the ARCS model has focused primarily on aspects of educational settings, research methods, and outcomes. However, few studies have addressed the applications of the ARCS…

Higher vocational education has been on a trajectory of rapid development. However, the challenge of fostering effective learning in students persists. In response to this, a study was undertaken to explore the impact of an optimized model of SPOC-based blended learning (SPOC-BL) on student presence, learning satisfaction, learning motivation, and…

Studies have shown that the application of gamification has positive effects on motivation and learning. However, various meta-studies indicate that there is high volatility in the published results. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the student's activity as gamers is related to these differences. A comparative study was conducted…

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…

The aim of this study is to investigate the public opinion (i.e., the learners themselves) of apps incorporating emerging technologies Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) and find out how satisfied mobile platform users are with these technologies for educational purposes. We performed sentiment analysis of more than one million…

Computer-based virtual learning environments (CBVLEs) have attracted attention as a learning innovation that can foster students' self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation. Research on the instructional design regarding these aspects of learning in a virtual learning environment is rather piecemeal. This study investigates the instructional design of…

Activity theory is of great importance in emphasizing the role of community and intermediary tools in the subject's internalization activities. From the perspective of activity theory, via systematically and comprehensively exploring kinds of different interactions between various elements (e.g. subject, community and tools) in classroom teaching,…

This study focuses on an educational game titled "Cellverse," a two-player cross-platform VR project intended to teach high school biology students about cell structure and function. In "Cellverse," players work in pairs to explore a human lung cell and diagnose and treat a dangerous genetic disorder. "Cellverse" is…

Deficiencies in students' interaction and motivation to learn are among the most reported challenges in medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to find new methods to overcome these challenges. We implemented a virtual learning station (VLS) approach in pathology lectures about locomotor diseases carried out over 2 weeks.…

The COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically changed all spheres of humans and caused the interruption of educational settings around the globe. It necessitated the rapid transition of virtual supervision and online service delivery internationally. The present study constructed a model using equity theory and the D&M (DeLone and McLean) model to…
