Graph data, especially large graph data, come up in many domains, such as social networks, the map of science, biological data, and even knitting! This presents a problem when we consider visualizing these structures. Layouts must be chosen carefully so that the structure of the graph is visible. Some graphs are large enough and connected enough…

Drawing on data from a mobile ethnography study of 12 adolescents from one secondary school, this article proposes to examine the everyday digital reading resources and practices of Singapore adolescent youths to better understand the print and new media (fiction) leisure reading habits of adolescents. Mobile ethnography, with its capacity to…

In the dynamic landscape of fashion, the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence technology (GAI) stands as a transformative force. Fashion professionals and students must adapt to this technological shift, recognizing AI's pivotal role in enhancing product development. This paper explores the incorporation of GAI into fashion curricula…

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing reliance on technology underscored the need for K-12 teachers to be digitally competent and able to teach their students 21st century digital skills. The purpose of this quantitative correlational predictive study was to examine if and to what extent perceived usefulness of technology and perceived…

This study examines students' attitudes toward the Learning Management System (hereafter LMS) CANVAS in the Virtual Learning Environment (henceforth VLE). This study used mixed methods in nature, which used a survey to collect data on the attitudes of 118 EFL students who enrolled in the Technology Enhanced Language Learning (hereafter TELL)…

While test anxiety is a problem in asynchronous online courses, few studies have systematically investigated learning factors influencing test anxiety in asynchronous online courses. Additionally, emotional engagement has been identified as a mediator between learning factors and test anxiety. Therefore, this study clarified the mediating role of…

The focus of this research is on values about methods, a specific instructional theory framework construct that represents a person's opinions about the usefulness of instructional methods. Previous studies have shown that values about methods have a "good guy/bad guy" structure, where instructional methods such as apprenticeship are…

This study explores the factors that influence experts' regular contribution to educational community question-answering (CQA) platforms. Providing answers is essential for sharing knowledge on CQA platforms, but it also affects learners' progressive inquiry. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop and test a theoretical model that aims…

Increasing interest in user experience design (UXD) in the field of learning design and technology (LDT) signals a growing recognition of the importance of the individual experience of using learning technologies to learning--the learner experience (LX). However, a need exists to better define and conceptualize the phenomenon of learning…

Determining factors of teachers' intention to use technology is important. Drawing from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we tested a research model depicting the direct and indirect effects of teachers' age, gender, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude towards use of technology on their behavioral intention to use…

Despite the promising advantages of cutting-edge technologies like virtual laboratories (VL) for enhancing science education, a significant gap remains between their theoretical benefits and practical application, particularly in rural schools in the Global South. This article argues that the effective integration of VL is largely dependent on…

The breakthrough in generative artificial intelligence (AI) has unlocked new possibilities for higher education. There are many studies on educational chatbots in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; however, studies on designing and leveraging chatbots in a multidisciplinary field like project management have been…

Background: The recent advent of powerful, exam-passing large language models (LLMs) in public awareness has led to concerns over students cheating, but has also given rise to calls for including or even focusing education on LLMs. There is a perceived urgency to react immediately, as well as claims that AI-based reforms of education will lead to…

In the current educational environment, e-learning and online education have gained significant prominence, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic when their importance increased dramatically.
