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…

This research moves beyond the conventional students-as-partners discourse to explore student-student partnership practices in higher education, addressing research gaps regarding such partnerships in inter-institutional and non-Western contexts. Through a qualitative study of a student-initiated virtual service-learning project which involved…

Purpose of this study was to create thematic web connection links for distant education. Aim of the web connection links was to summarize and visualize the relationship of each effective factor with other factors. To create the thematic web connection links, the effective factors on distant education were tried to be determined. Data was collected…

Recent studies have shown that children with developmental language disorder (DLD) often face challenges in emotion recognition (ER) skills, which impacts their social and behavioural outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a flexible online intervention in meeting the individual needs of children with DLD, focusing on ER…

Dialogic classroom discussions where students collaboratively share and reason through complex ideas are critical for achieving ambitious reform goals for student learning. However, K-12 classroom talk is predominantly characterized by monologic, "teacher-centered" discourse patterns that have proven exceedingly resilient to change.…

The Partnership for Integration of Computation into Undergraduate Physics (PICUP) was founded in the mid-2010s to assist educators with the challenges of integrating computation into physics curricula. In addition to in-person trainings and hosted educational materials, PICUP uses a Slack Workspace to continue collaboration and discussion…

This study analyzes the condition of political tolerance among university students in the digital era, aiming to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a digital-based democratic education model called "Sahabat Demokrasi." The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using a learning framework validated by two…

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,…
