Previous studies have not adequately explored the complex relationship between learning satisfaction and perceived learning achievement in adult online education. This study explores the chain mediating effect of online instructional service quality and engagement in online learning on the relationship between learning satisfaction and perception…

This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the research trajectory on "Game-based Mobile Learning" based on Scopus-indexed publications from 2006 to 2024. The study revealed significant growth in scholarly output, peaking in 2023, reflecting the increasing academic and practical interest in integrating game elements…

This study investigated how student-instructor interaction can impact academic performance, motivation and satisfaction in tertiary education across various learning contexts (face-to-face, online and hybrid). As higher education adopts digital and blended learning approaches, understanding the relationship between these interactions and student…

Students who study university courses online have a higher level of attrition compared with their on-campus counterparts, so online student engagement has become a contemporary concern for teaching faculty. The issue of student engagement is particularly acute in fields such as Guidance and Counselling in Education, which have not traditionally…

In this literature synthesis, we reviewed qualitative research studies that captured rich descriptions of instructors' experiences in higher education (HE) as they transitioned from traditional in-person classrooms to online learning environments. We identified articles for review by conducting an ERIC database search that targeted qualitative…

The rise of informal language learning, especially learning conducted online outside the classroom context, has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. To date, however, there has been limited evidence-based systematic analysis of the prevalence of online informal language learning (OILL). Accordingly, we conducted a systematic…

Background/purpose: The current study aimed to investigate the extent to which collaborative educational applications based on connectivism theory are used to organize big data and their impact on university students' digital self-efficacy. Materials/methods: The researcher adopted a descriptive survey approach to examine the effectiveness of the…

The learners and teachers of the teaching-learning process highly depend on online learning systems such as E-learning, which contains huge volumes of electronic contents related to a course. The multi-document summarization (MDS) is useful for summarizing such electronic contents. This article applies the task of MDS in an E-learning context. The…

Asynchronous online discussion is a learning activity commonly used in online teaching. The way instructors participate in asynchronous online discussions significantly impacts students' learning outcomes. This systematic review aims to determine the effects of instructor participation in asynchronous online discussions on student performance by…

It is well-established that being a self-regulated learner is beneficial academically, motivationally and is considered essential for productive life-long learning. Despite this, there is limited evidence examining how different measures of self-regulation for learning (SRL) relate to task performance for young students learning in digital…

Higher education institutions are increasingly moving from traditional education approaches to incorporate online and distance learning (ODL) models, and this represents a substantial educational challenge for many educators. One way to support this challenge is by providing appropriate professional development (PD) for the design of ODL. Based on…

Social networks have been recognized as a fertile learning environment, particularly in encouraging the exchange of knowledge. Students primarily use online communities and groups to read, exchange textbooks, make joint decisions, or share learning materials. Present work assesses the relationship between informal digital learning and formal…

This Australian university case study explores the transition to emergency, remote teaching (ERT) in an intensive Block Model curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey investigated academics' experiences of factors that helped or hindered their transition. A thematic analysis of the data revealed a symbiotic relationship between…

This article sheds light on criticism of the increasing degree of formalisation in collating and synthesising research findings in the systematic review format in education. A textual analysis of two systematic reviews produced by the Swedish Institute for Educational Research unpacks the significance of interaction between formalisation and…

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Citadel transitioned from a face-to-face to an emergency online modality. We conducted a study to track changes in self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) among engineering students during the Spring 2020 semester, including trends based on demographic, performance, and cognitive load factors. SDLR was…
