New challenges in education demand effective solutions. Although Learning Analytics (LA), Educational Data Mining (EDM) and the use of Big Data are often presented as a panacea, there is a lot of ground to be covered in order for the EDM to answer the real questions of educators. An important step toward this goal is to implement holistic…

In recent years, online educational platforms have become an increasingly popular tool for delivering online learning experiences. One such platform is the Tunisian educational platform provided by the Virtual University of Tunis. The acceptance and adoption of these platforms by students are crucial for their successful integration into the…

Background/purpose: Widespread adoption of e-learning was triggered worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic and modern higher education institutions dedicated significant resources to the use of diverse e-learning systems. However, to maximize the benefits of these investments, it is crucial that the degree to which end-users accept and continue…

In online education, it is widely recognized that interaction and engagement have an impact on students' academic performance. While previous research has extensively explored interactions between students, instructors, and content, there has been limited exploration of course design elements that promote the fourth type of interaction:…

Digitation in education, where online platforms play a central role, has changed teaching and learning scenarios. In addition, it has brought an unprecedented array of public and private actors into the educational arena who provide schools with technological solutions for redesigning learning environments and practices. Though the arena is…

There are currently approximately 180,000 Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBT®s) (Behavior Analyst Certification Board, n.d.) To become an RBT, one must complete 40 hours of training and pass a competency assessment and an exam. The initial training is frequently conducted though asynchronous online platforms. To our knowledge, there has been…

This study aims to discover the factors that influence the acceptance of electronic learning media and its effect on the effectiveness of digital instruction. The study involved a learning management system and online tutorials using management system (MS) teams from various faculties at the Universitas Terbuka. These include the Faculty of…

The end of the pandemic era has brought new changes and challenges to lectures held in a blended learning environment, one of which is the use of interactive content. The objective of this study was to analyse, develop and evaluate the presentation of content using H5P in blended learning, its relevance to lecture topics, activities to achieve…

Affect dynamics in digital learning systems (DLS) research investigates how students' emotions evolve while using these systems. This information can reveal the most common emotions experienced by students and how they transition between them. Recent studies indicate that affect dynamics in DLS vary depending on students' demographic and personal…

Since GPT-4's release it has shown novel abilities in a variety of domains. This paper explores the use of LLM-generated explanations as on-demand assistance for problems within the ASSISTments platform. In particular, we are studying whether GPT-generated explanations are better than nothing on problems that have no supports and whether…

This dissertation explores Generation Z's perceptions and experiences with Learning Management Systems, emphasizing the influence of user experience design on engagement. The study uses a qualitative postphenomenological method to identify key user experience design attributes that affect student engagement. Analyzing semistructured interviews…

Despite growing interest in applying human-centred design methods to create learning analytics (LA) systems, most efforts have concentrated on initial design phases, with limited exploration of how LA tools and practices can coevolve during the actual learning and teaching activities. This paper examines how a human-centred LA dashboard can be…

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to explore university teachers' stages of concerns (SoC) about the adoption of the Moodle LMS at the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), Ghana. Hundred and thirty-one (131) participants (university teachers) were randomly selected from the Kumasi…

This article explores how seven Swedish digital teaching platforms in mathematics make use of the affordances provided by various modalities and dynamic functions. A model based on social semiotics is used to analyse how dynamic functions are used, whether or not the language is technically oriented, if relational or operational processes are…

Over the past twenty years, using learning management systems in higher education has attracted increasing interest from researchers around the globe. In this context, the current study aimed to explore the volume, growth trajectory, and geographic distribution of learning management systems in higher education literature, along with identifying…
