An increasing number of MOOCs use learning videos featuring an instructor and slides, but there are few specific guidelines for the design of instructor images for these videos. A pedagogical agent (PA) is a kind of virtual instructor image in a learning video, and its image design is mostly guided by anthropomorphism. Our research attempts to…

Teachers must foster within themselves the idea that technology is a part of civilization that must inevitably go hand in hand with teaching and learning, including assessment. Technology-based assessment should assist teachers in dealing with digital native students who are already aware of their own needs, requiring teachers to integrate…

Online and blended learning (OBL) brings unique advantages to K-12 teachers and students. Thus, it is essential to prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) for designing effective K-12 OBL lessons in educator preparation programs (EPPs) so they can utilize OBL's distinctive characteristics to benefit their students immediately when they have their own…

Technology has arisen as a powerful tool for enhancing student's learning and engagement in science education, particularly in the context of elementary inquiry-based science education (IBSE). This systematic review examines the use of technology in elementary IBSE over the past decade, analyzing 22 empirical studies to identify research trends,…

With the rapid growth of digital education, e-learning has become essential for offering accessible and flexible learning opportunities. This paper investigates strategies to achieve long-term learning outcomes and reduce study time in e-learning. It explores various techniques, including self-testing, spaced repetition, and the serial position…

The use of e-gadgets for instructional practices, learning processes, and bridging transactional distance between higher-educational institutions and students remain complex and contested phenomena in educational research. However, studies that were grounded on the mixture of the Replace-Amplify-Transform (RAT) model and Acceptance and Use of…

Students naturally have a phobia for STEM subjects which leads to poor performance in these subjects. The reason for this is varied but can be associated with the teaching approach. As an improvement on the traditional teaching method and the earlier technology-enabled teaching methodologies, using the affordances of technology to effectively…

Effective personalization of education requires knowing how each student will perform under certain conditions, given their specific characteristics. Thus, the demand for interpretable and precise estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects is ever-present. This paper outlines a new approach to this problem based on the Leave-One-Out Potential…

Education sector has embraced and increasingly use digital technologies to address its longstanding challenges. However, considering that every technology has its limitations, I evaluated the progress of citation and reference technologies in solving the chronic problem of plagiarism in academic writing. In this pursuit, I confirmed with several…

The digital age has fostered the rapid dissemination of Future Learning Spaces within the educational sector. Empirical studies examining learning processes relevant for the digital age within FLSs are needed, as scholarship has heretofore been overly reliant on anecdotal evidence or has struggled to keep up with innovative pedagogies. In an…

The main purpose of the present investigation was to explore the effects of a newly-developed educational technology, COMPRENDE, on adolescents' (N = 85) reading comprehension. More specifically, we explored whether exposure to COMPRENDE significantly improved students' reading comprehension performance gains as measured by "Lectum" (a…

Mobile learning application developers have to overcome inherent limitations imposed by mobile devices in order to produce usable applications. There are usability guidelines available to assist in the design process but with technological improvements, these guidelines should be updated and extended. In this research, we proposed an updated…

Mobile learning adoption is an active area of research. This paper aims to contribute to better understanding of mobile learning adoption by providing a body of knowledge to aid researchers working in this field. The applied method is systematic review of commonly used databases based on the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham ("Keele, UK,…

The transition from the probability mass function for discrete random variables to the probability density function for continuous random variables is not straightforward, especially to students from the health and social sciences. An R Shiny application was created to assist the learning process of probability density function.

Improving the performance of e-learning services to provide a scalable and effective e-learning system is a big challenge for the educational organizations. The e-learning system faces many challenges in pedagogical services (e.g. learning design and learning content problems), and technical services (e.g. resource provisioning and financial…
