Personalization is often perceived as a technical problem in the context of digital education. However, it is also a cognitive challenge, requiring an understanding of how learners process information. This study presents a cognitive-based recommendation model designed and tested within the Master's program in E-learning and Intelligent…

The current study aimed to explore the influence of pedagogical agents and visual cues on students' deep learning within a virtual reality setting by evaluating the effects on various factors, including learning outcomes, intrinsic motivation, cognitive load, learning engagement, and cognitive processing metrics. The investigation utilized a 2 x 2…

Integrating mobile learning technologies in mathematics education in light of the pandemic, natural disasters, and recent technological developments is a significant shift in practice. This research applied the systematic review approach to assess the impact of mobile learning aids on students' learning attitudes, motivation, and performance in…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) skills are essential for academic success, particularly in online learning environments. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, present promising opportunities to support SRL. This case study explored the experiences and perceptions of online graduate students using ChatGPT to enhance their SRL. A…

Web-TV systems are becoming increasingly significant in higher education for the delivery of information services. The two objectives of this quantitative research study were to: determine how students use and are satisfied with Allama Iqbal Open University's (AIOU) Web-TV-based services; and investigate the factors that impact and inspire…

When writing about transformation in higher education (HE) in South Africa, it is quite popular to mention the fall of apartheid, and perhaps also 1994, as a starting point for significant change. I, myself, have made this mistake (see Bernard, 2015). However, the recent #FeesMustFall protests highlighted that many approaches to transformation…

During the coronavirus pandemic, educational institutions were forced to shift to virtual learning. Drawing on the Community of Inquiry framework and bioecological perspective, this research explores the virtual learning experiences of female college students at one higher education institution in the United Arab Emirates using an interpretive…

In response to the global crisis resulted from the spread of the coronavirus in Brazil, many schools and universities suspended face-to-face classes and began to offer remote classes using digital resources. In this unprecedented crisis, educators, managers and families had to deal with unpredictability and look for new ways of learning and…

This research aims to develop the models of Virtual Learning Resource Center (VLRC) for the digital manpower. The results of the research are that: 1) The VLRC development process consists of 5 steps: requirements analysis, planning and designing, prototyping and testing, implementing and monitoring, and evaluation and reporting. 2) The VLRC for…

Predictive modeling in online education is a popular topic in learning analytics research and practice. This study proposes a novel predictive modeling method to improve model transferability over time within the same course and across different courses. The research gaps addressed are limited evidence showing whether a predictive model built on…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the biopolitical trade-offs inherent to contemporary capitalism are cascading down to higher education. Based on insights derived from theories of digitalized capitalism, this article argues that the emergency shift of educational activities online has much potential to heighten the expropriation of digital academic…

The study aimed to understand pre-service teachers' mobile learning readiness with Theory of Planned Behavior using external salient beliefs. There were nine hypotheses tested with a total of 533 pre-service teachers in two cities in Turkey. Several scales adapted from Cheon et al. (2012) included 10 psychological variables. The results indicated…

Research relating to the development of computational thinking (CT) at primary school level is still in its infancy despite indications that it is most effective when introduced in primary/early secondary education. Teachers are pivotal to ensuring children develop CT, so it is essential they are effectively prepared, starting at preservice level,…

This paper is basic research focused on the analysis of scientific advances related to Smart Learning Environments (SLE). Our main objective is to single out the common aspects to propose a new definition which will constitute the starting point to design an innovative model which we can apply to the analysis of real cases and good practices. For…
