In recognition of the integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICTs) along with Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education, several educational organizations have recommended cultivating 21st-century digital skills as part of every educational curriculum. The computational thinking skill, which is at the core of 21st-century digital skills, has gained research in several field…
This study investigates the effects of performance-based assessment (PBA) on academic resilience (AR), motivation, and teacher support (TS) in online and traditional classroom settings. Guided by self-determination theory (SDT) and sociocultural theory (SCT), this research employs a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with 120 students across both instructional modes. Nonparametric tes…
This study introduces the rubric-based progress score (P-score), a model emphasizing individual student growth, as a complement to conventional assessment. By integrating progress tracking into grading, the P-score offers students a clearer understanding of their academic development over time. Designed to work alongside existing systems, the P-score highlights learners’ efforts and improveme…
Research on learning analytics (LA) in various educational contexts is extensive, but research specifically on LA in immersive virtual learning environments (immersive VLEs) remains underexplored in terms of theoretical integration, methodological diversity, and multimodal data utilisation. This study reviews applications of learning analytics in immersive VLEs following the Preferred Reporting…
Higher education institutions face increasing challenges in meeting the diverse needs of their student populations. While learning management systems (LMS) like Moodle have become ubiquitous in higher education, there remains limited understanding of how these platforms affect different student subpopulations. This study investigates the differential effects of Moodle course design elements on …
Smart learning environments (SLEs) utilize technological advancements to facilitate effective, engaging, and personalized learning experiences. They depend on sensors and advanced connectivity to gather information and make informed decisions. Multisensory Environments (MSEs) naturally align with and enhance the capabilities of SLEs offering new opportunities to enhance learning effectively, an…
To address poor skill acquisition in online physical education due to a lack of real-time feedback, we developed and evaluated a pose recognition-based system. An 8-week randomized controlled trial study in a university Baduanjin course compared the AI system against a traditional Massive Open Online Course format. Results showed the system significantly enhanced students' movement quality, flu…
The implementation of thermally sprayed components in steel manufacturing presents challenges for production and plant maintenance. While enhancing performance through specialized surface properties, these components may encounter difficulties in meeting modified requirements due to standardization in the refurbishment process. This article proposes updating the established coating process for …
Users of technology are becoming younger over the years. Although the current generation of young children is often referred to as “digital natives,” this designation primarily reflects their intuitive engagement with digital tools rather than a comprehensive understanding of their responsible use. In contrast, fostering balanced, ethical, and safe digital behavior requires intentional educ…
The present study examined any possible relationship between teachers’ emotional contagion and their learners’ achievement and motivation for learning English as a foreign language (EFL). In addition, it explored the predictability of learners’ foreign language motivation and achievements in terms of their respective teachers’ emotional contagion. Twenty EFL teachers were asked to fill …
