This dissertation lays out conceptual foundations for building a public digital writing program archive, engages in conceptual modeling atop these foundations, then describes a tripartite platform structure for creating a digital resource that can make use of a writing program's everyday materials. This dissertation does not view its objects of…

Despite questions about academic rigor, undergraduates use Wikipedia for opportunistic learning: self-regulated study to learn, relearn, or be introduced to concepts. STEM topics are potentially immune from some of Wikipedia's criticism, as many are based on well-established facts. This article evaluates 28 articles from seven STEM disciplines on…

This case study examines the use of electronic resources in academic institutions and the difficulties in forecasting their usage. By employing time series analysis-based models, the study forecasts the utilization of e-resources from 2012 to 2021. It concludes that both Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Error, Trend, Seasonal…

Recent literature underlines the increasing use of online platforms in learning undergraduate mathematics, where students refer to these as supplementary resources to develop their mathematical understanding. Through an intrinsic case study, we focus on a highly viewed YouTube learning resource for learning derivative. The selected case is from…

Although e-Portfolio is acknowledged as one of the powerful pedagogical practices that enhance learning in higher education (HE), not much is known about the types of social media (SM) utilized as e-Portfolios and the benefits for students. This literature analysis, using directed content analysis, aims to explore the above vacuum. The research…

Pharmacy students tend to use Wikipedia as a quick resource of knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of content and readability level of Wikipedia articles on chemotherapeutics, using quality and readability tools. Using the British National Formulary (BNF-2018) and ClinicalTrials.gov, we identified 188 chemotherapeutic drugs. We…

Aim/Purpose: Despite the growing interest in reflection, there is an issue regarding how to fortify the linkages between a learning experience and the reflection activity that follows it, as experience on its own is not the key to learning. In addition, studies have also shown that students are not able to transfer the newly acquired knowledge…

Purpose: Knowledge management (KM) is a process that depends on changes and transfers to different levels of understanding among individuals and acts as a powerful tool to strengthen the organization to remove the barriers, affect the decision-making process and enable individuals and organizations to achieve sustainable advantages. This study…

Online reading for academic purposes is a complex and challenging activity that involves analysing task requirements, assessing information needs, accessing relevant contents, and evaluating the relevance and reliability of information given the task at hand. The present study implemented and tested an analytical approach to strategy training that…

Recent studies have shown contradictory results on the influence of digital technology on the level of reading comprehension performance in college students. This paper examines the existence of differences in reading comprehension between the use of digital technology and traditional support in college students. A meta-analysis of international…

Intending to counteract Klein's second discontinuity in teacher education, we explored and applied the innovation of "interface ePortfolio" in the context of a geometry course for preservice teachers (PSTs). The tool offers the possibility of implementing the design principle of "profession orientation." In the article, we…

All content to Wikipedia is added and edited in a crowdsourced model, wherein nearly anyone can click the "edit" button and change content on Wikipedia. An active community of dedicated volunteers is what keeps Wikipedia as reliable as it is today--good, but not complete. More diverse contributors are needed to add more content to…

This study explores the comprehension and implementation of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) within universities in sending countries, an aspect often overlooked in previous research. Drawing upon the praxiology theory, a practice-focused ethnographic study was conducted at a regional university in China, specifically within a Sino-foreign…

This dissertation, "Old Constraints, New Possibilities: Genre Theory, Student Reflections, and ePortfolios in the First Year Writing Classroom," explores the findings of an IRB-approved study on the reflective practices employed in FYW multimodal ePortfolios. The University of Alabama (UA) FYW conducted an ePortfolio Initiative in 2019…

As the COVID-19 pandemic fades into the background, higher education institutions think about what they can learn from the vast shift to online teaching and learning--the recent period emphasized the significance of autonomous learning abilities, as students who were skilled in self-regulation were able to cope with the challenges of remote…
