As a third-generation Internet form, the Metaverse has received widespread attention for its spatio-temporal expansion, high immersion, sensory extension, and human--computer integration. Considering the prospect of application in the field of education, a series of studies on the design of Education Metaverse frameworks and applications have…

Immersive virtual environments hold unexplored potential to scaffold and stimulate learning in multiple ways for the purpose of increasing potential learning gains. Yet, the number of implementations in educational settings remains very limited. One reason for limited implementation of immersive virtual environment applications may be a lack of…

Screen-mediated teaching at the university level has necessitated a redesign of learning environments across various dimensions, encompassing epistemological, relational, and pragmatic aspects. How can the Digital Learning Ecosystem nurture these dimensions? Does the ecosystem initiate a feedback loop between the teacher and the student,…

Distance learning is not a novel concept. Education or learning conducted online is a form of distance education. Online learning presents a convenient alternative to traditional learning. Numerous researchers have investigated the usage of online education in educational institutions and across nations. A set of essentials for effective online…

Most proponents of flexible online learning, and critics alike, have little more than anecdotal evidence to support their claims about the benefits or drawbacks of flexibility (Houlden & Veletsianos, 2019; Veletsianos & Houlden, 2019). This study departs from past literature that characterizes flexibility as a universal experience of…

The effective use of self-regulation strategies has been considered significant in online learning environments. It is known that learners must be supported in this context. Academic help-seeking (AHS), as one of the main self-regulated learning strategies, is associated with academic success. However, learners may avoid seeking help for…

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) applications (apps) can provide users with personalized learning content to meet their learning needs. Besides, from the learner perspective, the apps can be regarded as 'social' individuals, like anthropomorphic instructors who offer social support to help them with language learning. However, the current…

Drawing upon my own experience as an educator, I describe and reflect upon my experiential learning-pedagogical process of transforming my Fall 2020 Zoom-based honors interpersonal communication course in which my students traversed through a series of experiential learning activities called Interpersonal Enrichment Journeys. Data revealed that…

Research concerning instructor feedback suggests that it should move beyond just providing "hopefully useful comments" and towards a higher standard of student-centered feedback that encourages self-regulation. Instructor feedback enhances student academic achievement and can positively affect students' self-regulation, especially…

The learners and teachers of the teaching-learning process highly depend on online learning systems such as E-learning, which contains huge volumes of electronic contents related to a course. The multi-document summarization (MDS) is useful for summarizing such electronic contents. This article applies the task of MDS in an E-learning context. The…

The purpose of this paper is to explore three computational approaches to ethnographic research within digital learning environments: virtual ethnography; quantitative ethnography; and computational ethnography. Recently, researchers have become more interested in computational ethnographic approaches due to their alignment with the massive…

From the perspective of service science and its core concept of value co-creation, promoting learner engagement is critical for learning outcomes in a non-formal online learning environment. To promote online learning performance, we study how multidimensional learner engagement affects both instrumental and experiential learning outcomes. By…

The COVID-19 pandemic not only affected our health and social life in many aspects, but it also changed the classical way of training in classrooms and education preferences of society. As a solution various e-learning platforms were developed and preferred by many educational institutions where the individuals had the opportunity to try the…

The technological developments of the twenty-first century have enabled the emergence of alternative teaching-learning models and instructional tools. One of the concepts brought about by such developments is mobile learning. The aim of this study was to test the effect of mobile learning on students' mathematics achievement. A systematic database…

Time seems to be moving at lightning speed with busyness unsustainably being "celebrated" and not allowing for sufficiently deep interaction with learning content, others, and the experience of which we are part, including our interactions in videoconferencing sessions. One benefit of videoconferencing is that it can address time and…
