College is a complex, high-stakes game, according to authors Ned Scott Laff and Scott Carlson, but students can learn how to win it. "Hacking College" offers college advisors, faculty, and staff in student and academic affairs a groundbreaking guide to rethinking higher education so that students can succeed in an increasingly complex…

Researchers are increasingly interested in enabling teachers to monitor and adapt gamification design in the context of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). These contributions rely on teachers' needs and preferences to adjust the gamification design according to student performance. This work extends previous studies on teachers' perception of…

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely acclaimed as an innovative pedagogical approach that nurtures students' problem-solving abilities, self-directed learning skills, and collaborative competencies. This systematic review examines the structure and implementation strategies of PBL courses in legal education. Through a comprehensive…

This article presents a contextualised case study developed in response to the persistent complexities of supporting mentoring teachers. Recognising the multifaceted challenges inherent to mentorship, this study trialled a digital platform (pataka.ac.nz) designed to alleviate pressures such as time constraints and professional isolation. The…

This study scientifically assessed digital education resources to determine how to develop these materials effectively. Data were obtained from the Smart Education Platform of China for higher education. Particularly, this research examined online reviews from learners who have used resources in various subjects, including music and art,…

Modern and Contemporary Physics is an important component of civic education for senior high school students, as topics such as Relativity and Quantum Physics connect with everyday life and foster abstract thinking and critical skills. Yet, these themes are often absent from high school curricula. Among them, Einstein's General Relativity Theory…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including education. One of the most promising applications of AI in education is in the development and adaptation of Open Educational Resources (OER). COL's Teacher-in the-Loop (TiL-AI) initiative empowers teachers and TVET trainers across the Commonwealth to leverage…

Given the challenge of visualizing the main constructs of two-variable functions and their differential and integral calculus, it is essential to consider instructional resources' use and perceived potential to contribute to students' understanding. This case study considers how four instructors selected and used digital and physical resources in…

The research on the influencing factors of the use of digital learning resources is the focus of this field. Although a large number of empirical studies involve the discussion of influencing factors, the conclusions of different studies are also different. Through meta-analysis, taking 146 effect values and 9996 independent research objects in 19…

Young people tell us that afterschool programs have a direct positive impact on their lives. A new national online survey of 1,116 afterschool program providers--conducted by Edge Research, October 31-December 5, 2023--reinforces this view, finding that programs are keeping young people connected, engaged, and inspired. The survey, which…

This dissertation project began with the development of a Design-Focused Approach (DFA) to First-Year Composition (FYC) curriculum largely informed by multimodal pedagogical theory. In the DFA to FYC curriculum, I highlighted the importance of multiliteracy and the demand for multiple modalities for students to effectively communicate in various…

In this design case, we review the iterative process of designing EdTech Books (ETB)--an online platform through which open educational resources can be published and accessed by the public. We discuss the context and framework within which the platform was created. We then review the chronology of the platform's evolution through the lens of…

In recent years, online learning methods have gradually been accepted by more and more people. A large number of online teaching courses and other resources (MOOCs) have also followed. To attract students' interest in learning, many scholars have built recommendation systems for MOOCs. However, students need a variety of different learning…

Computational thinking has become part of the mathematics curriculum in several countries. This has led recently available teaching resources to explicitly integrate computational thinking (CT). In this paper, we investigate and compare how curriculum resources developed in Denmark -- digital teaching modules -- and Sweden -- printed mathematics…

The importance of textbooks and other materials to the educational process cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, the prices on these vital learning materials have continued to grow steadily year over year (Hanson, 2021). Open educational resources (OER), which are "teaching, learning, and research materials that are either (a) in the public…
