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 …
Soft skills, essential for employability and professional success, are often underemphasised in traditional higher education curricula. This study assesses the effectiveness of Compete!, a serious game developed under the Erasmus+ program, in enhancing students' awareness of key soft skills, including creative problem-solving, effective communication, stress management, and teamwork.

This study compares fashion design processes involving shape memory textiles (SMTs) compared to ones involving conventional textiles (CTs). The primary objectives were to identify barriers to the adoption of SMTs in the fashion industry from designers' perspectives, assess the impact of SMTs on conventional design processes, and develop strategies to enhance the use of SMTs in fashion design. D…
Accurate digital reconstruction of the human body is critical for a wide range of applications, including apparel design, ergonomic evaluation, and biomedical engineering. This study introduces a novel 3D human modeling framework that combines skeleton-driven deformation algorithms with high-resolution 3D body scan data to generate anatomically accurate virtual bodies. The proposed method was b…
