Online learning has become an integral part of students' learning, and the development of internet-specific epistemic justification (ISEJ) has considerable significance in promoting learners' online learning effectiveness. This study aimed to explore the roles of college students' grades, learning media preference, online learning engagement…

Based on action learning, we propose a new use of digital story telling (DST) in sustainability in management education (SiME). Using thematic analysis (TA), we analyze a set of 63 student generated DST films on the Anthropocene to propose an experiential learning framework based on five key learning domains: the Planetary Boundaries, scale issues…

Student interactions in distance learning have been a critical element of the transactional distance theory. Research shows that student interactions have a positive effect on learning outcomes. However, little is known about how student interactions can be improved. The need to understand student interactions and to determine the relationships…

Digital automation is on the rise in a diverse range of industries. The technologies employed here often make use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its common form, machine learning (ML) to augment or replace the work completed by human agents. The recent emergence of a variety of design automation platforms inspired the authors to undertake a…

Background: College instruction has experienced a significant movement toward increased online learning course options. Without appropriate supports, students in virtual learning environments often face greater challenges with self-regulation, motivation, and recognizing the personal relevance of course content. Objective: The current study…

Virtual coaching is emerging as a feasible method of providing ongoing, job-embedded, personalized professional learning to educators. This manuscript details how virtual coaching is different from on-site coaching in education. It describes field-tested strategies and technologies a coach can use to be successful when coaching virtually. There…

One of the unique contributions of technology in the field of Education is E-learning. The easy accessibility, flexible learning environment, and cost-effectiveness have made e-learning popular among students. Despite its many benefits, several problems have been faced by students, such as a lack of technical knowledge, computer experience, and…

In response to the industrial world becoming more complex and the recent social distancing caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) are gaining importance for industrial training. The novelty, however, does not lie in the sole use of VR-based technology but rather in its adaptive and flexible nature. This…

We examined whether visual disfluency, as elicited by presenting text on flickering slides, affects learning positively and the global judgment of learning (JOL) negatively. Participants (N = 202 in Experiment 1, between-subjects design; N = 53 in Experiment 2, within-subjects design) saw in an online session multiple slides including textual…

With the development of digital technology, plentiful sensors are embedded in the smartphone, which makes it a valuable tool for teaching elementary experimental physics. For instance, the magnetic field sensor of the smartphone has been used to measure gravitational acceleration by measuring the magnetic pendulum's oscillation period. The…

The so-called logic of datafication and platformisation, as a consolidated business model for the BigTech industry with applications to education (van Dijck et al., 2018), can also reach (and affect) early education and care. In a kid's culture that values documenting and sharing with parents, social media and instant messaging are widely used.…

Online education (o-education) is gaining significant attention from education providers, students, and policy makers. This research explored students' behaviours and intentions towards online education. The present research utilised the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a model to investigate these intentions and…

This research proposes a new model for Educational Leadership and Teacher Preparation Programs through a "Practitioner-Based Mentor-Teacher Candidate Model", which is intended to be beneficial to both the aspiring school leader as the evaluator and mentor and the preservice teacher as the recipient of the feedback. With the shift to…

Virtual collaboration and teamwork have long transformed many sectors like business and healthcare, and higher education is no exception. However, unlike many other sectors, literature in higher education has primarily focused on team learning in the online context. Most works center around recommendations for effective technology platforms,…

Purpose: This paper engages Olaf Zawacki-Richter and Insung Jung in a frank and penetrating conversation that seeks to ground, frame, and problematise research in the field conceptualised as "open, distance and digital education" (ODDE). Taking as starting point the recent publication of the landmark "Handbook of Open, Distance, and…
