Statistical analysis of learners’ ubiquity and autonomy: Sustaining the development of learning management system (LMS) for L2 proficiency

In recent times learning ubiquity and autonomy have emerged as prominent e-learning models as they equip learners with the access of resources at any place and any time which implies taking charge of one’s learning as per the need and purpose. The present study takes stock of ubiquitous (UL) and autonomous learning (LA) as influencing factors for assessing students’ willingness to adopt (WA) LMS for enhancing L2 proficiency. The target population for this study consisted 302 professional students. Data is analyzed using SPSS ver.21. Regression model indicates that both LA (p=.000, β=.289) and UL (p=.000, β=.461) significantly contribute to students’ adoption of LMS. Independent sample t-test results indicate that no significant variation is found in test performance between male and female students. The findings of the proposed model will prove beneficial to assess the reception of LMS among students and will enable the educational institutions to concentrate on LMS’s effective implementation so that they can invest in e-learning technology wisely.

Reimagining a children's palliative care educational programme for registered nurses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

BackgroundChildren with life-limiting conditions are a unique population with multiple health and social care needs. Key literature indicates the need for education to support registered nurses providing care, including palliative care, to these children. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a palliative care programme was converted to an online programme, adopting a blended approach between national and regional facilitators. ObjectivesTo assess nurses' satisfaction with a re-designed palliative care programme centred around the care of children with life-limiting conditions, including their perceptions of the online format. Design and methodsA descriptive correlational design and online survey was used to explore the participants' perception of the content and online delivery of the Care of the Child with a Life-Limiting Condition programme. Nine sessions, comprised of five national and four regional webinars, were delivered. ResultsAttendees registered (n = 169) from throughout the Republic of Ireland, with 130 attending all webinars. Attendees stated online delivery of education increased their accessibility to highly qualified experts. The short, concise nature of sessions was well received. Online delivery and recorded sessions contributed to convenience with the ability to access and process information in attendees' own time being welcomed. However, the negative impact of losing face-to-face interactions was noted, including the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues caring for children with life-limiting conditions. ConclusionsResults suggest that the redesigned online programme contributed to participants' knowledge, encouraged participation and increased accessibility. An e-Learning model enables specialised education to be more equitable and accessible, ensuring regional areas are not disadvantaged due to geographical remoteness from tertiary educational centres. However, the lack of face-to-face contact was acknowledged as a hindrance to socialisation and networking. When developing future programmes, focus should be put on creating opportunities for networking and social development to compensate for the lack of face-to-face contact.

Use of gamification to enhance e-learning experience

PurposeThis study aims to look at the integration of gamification in an e-learning model based on the technology acceptance model. The data was collected from respondents residing in India and elements of gamification (achievement, immersion and social) and personal characteristics of learners (self-efficacy, computer anxiety and enjoyment) and their impact on perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) were tested.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from students and professionals who have ever played games during learning while using an e-learning module. Structural equation modeling using smart partial least square was used to create a model.FindingsThe findings showed that enjoyment affected both PEOU and PU and attitude toward e-learning. Achievement and social elements impacted attitude and the immersion element moderated the relation between enjoyment and PEOU and PU. These finally impact attitude and satisfaction, leading to higher intention to use e-learning platforms.Research limitations/implicationsBecause this study is very specific to the Indian context, a broad generalization requires further exploration in other cultural contexts. The absence of this exploration is one of the limitations of this study.Originality/valueThis study tested the GAMEFULQUEST suggested by Högberg et al. (2019) based on self-determination theory and its impact on the overall e-learning experience. The moderation of immersion has come out to be significant and achievement and social elements impacted attitude.

I am Alexa, your virtual tutor!: The effects of Amazon Alexa's text-to-speech voice enthusiasm in a multimedia learning environment.

Modern text-to-speech voices can convey social cues ideal for narrating multimedia learning materials. Amazon Alexa has a unique feature among modern text-to-speech vocalizers as she can infuse enthusiasm cues into her synthetic voice. In this first study examining modern text-to-speech voice enthusiasm effects in a multimedia learning environment, a between-subjects online experiment was conducted where learners from a large Asian university (n = 244) listened to either Alexa’s: (1) neutral voice, (2) low-enthusiastic voice, (3) medium-enthusiastic voice, or (4) high-enthusiastic voice, narrating a multimedia lesson on distributed denial-of-service attack. While Alexa’s enthusiastic voices did not enhance persona ratings compared to Alexa’s neutral voice, learners could infer more enthusiasm expressed by Alexa’s medium-and high-enthusiastic voices than Alexa’s neutral voice. Regarding cognitive load, Alexa’s low-and high-enthusiastic voices decreased intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load ratings compared to Alexa’s neutral voice. While Alexa’s enthusiastic voices did not impact affective-motivational ratings differently from Alexa’s neutral voice, learners reported a significant increase of positive emotions from their baseline positive emotions after listening to Alexa’s medium-enthusiastic voice. Finally, Alexa’s enthusiastic voices did not enhance the learning performance on immediate retention and transfer tests compared to Alexa’s neutral voice. This study demonstrates that a modern text-to-speech voice enthusiasm can positively affect learners’ emotions and cognitive load during multimedia learning. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed through the lens of the Cognitive Affective Model of E-learning, Integrated-Cognitive Affective Model of Learning with Multimedia, and Cognitive Load Theory. We further outline this study’s limitations and recommendations for extending and widening the text-to-speech voice emotions research.

Determining The Values and Attributes of e-Learning From Vocational Students' Perspectives

Value co-creation is created with the users when they consume or use the product or services. Value co-creation is exclusive among individuals but can influence the user's behaviour in using a product or service and in the users' cognitive space. E-learning as a service platform should deliver value that fulfils users’ needs. Thus, it is essential to identify users' critical features such as forums, videos, and rewards (referring to frequently or most used attributes) on the e-learning platform from the users' view and not the developer's perspective. Students as the primary users of e-learning are essential in creating and extracting users' co-creation values. This paper aims to identify the critical attributes and values from vocational students' perspectives using the means-end chain (MEC) methodology. The relationship among these elements would build a ladder and lead to the purpose of the research. Data were gathered from 151 vocational students using the MEC model and hard laddering – Association pattern technique (APT) technique and developed the summary implication matrix (SIM) and hierarchical value map (HVM). The results showed that students consider eight valuable values, with five dominant values: sense of accomplishment, helpful, self-fulfilment, excitement, and fun and enjoyment of life. Attributes such as games and quizzes, videos, chat forums, rewards, widgets, and apps contribute to co-creation values. Besides, vocational students tend to prefer simulation exercises and live streaming features. The significance of this study is to help identify the co-creation value based on critical elements on an e-learning platform. Building an e-learning platform based on the user's point of view is getting the users to use the system. Further, valuable insight into values may provide input for the design of the e-learning model from the perspective of value.

Selection of External Factors for enhanced Technological Acceptance Model for E-Learning

A properly regulated e-learning process is one of the utmost needs of this globe these days due to the pandemic. In that sense, researchers have been conducting research but none of those provide a global solution because of selected external factors and sample size. Therefore, this study provides a significant suggestion to select EFs and future research direction by conducting a systematic review study. Therefore, EFs must include not only student perspectives but also staff and parents, similarly, EFs must include not only user-friendliness, system quality, content quality, satisfaction, and self-efficacy but also technical support, anxiety, privacy, and security. Furthermore, the same study analyzes and suggested the most required future research direction for TAM for E-learning such as Developing VR and augmented reality e-learning tools, understanding the use of e-learning from qualitative perspectives through interview or focus group discussions, and Game-based educational tools. Furthermore, selecting the articles for this study was challengeable due to less number of articles published recently and closed access permission.

Assessing students’ critical thinking skills viewed from cognitive style: Study on implementation of problem-based e-learning model in mathematics courses

The digitalization system that continues to roll has brought changes to the learning system, where face-to-face learning is replaced by an online system. On the one hand, learning experiences to acquire critical thinking (CT) skills as one of the essential skills of the 21st century must also be encouraged. The objective of this study is to assess students’ CT skills in terms of cognitive style by implementing the problem-based e-learning (e-PBL) model in mathematics courses. This study is an evaluative study with an experimental approach, where as many as 28 students as research samples were taken purposively from Mandalika University of Education, Indonesia. A set of instruments was prepared to measure every aspect of CT and cognitive style, including descriptive and statistical data analysis so that the results of the CT assessment were found. In general, the results of the CT evaluation show that e-PBL is effective in improving students’ CT skills, so this is a recommendation to use e-PBL widely and intensively.

Virtual worlds in distance learning

<span lang="EN-US">Virtual worlds are considered an additional proposal within the e-learning model. Online platforms have not been enough resources to be successful in the teaching and learning processes, therefore, it is necessary to search more options that contribute to their improvement. Virtual worlds, through inverse and visual experiences for the student, offer new panoramas that allow living situations and solving problems in different areas, such as mathematics. This article analyzes the opinion of higher-level students regarding the use of virtual worlds in their distance classes. Likewise, the virtual worlds provide help in improving teacher-student and student-student relationships. Some cases of educational institutions that integrated the use of virtual worlds into their classes are shown. A Likert-type scale questionnaire has been applied to a sample of 65 higher-level students. Its reliability was validated by means of Cronbach's alpha coefficients and Pearson's. It was found that students consider that the use of virtual worlds would improve class work and relationships between their peers and their teachers. It is remarkably undoubted that virtual worlds within education path are considered an excellent tool for e-learning. However, although the interest on the part of students is high, it is necessary to carry out more researching and developing procedures on the virtual worlds as an alternative to support learning. </span>

Two Emotional Design Features Are More Effective Than One in Multimedia Learning

This study examined the impacts of adding emotional design features to a multimedia lesson (color alone, anthropomorphism alone, or color & anthropomorphism together) on college students’ affective processes (measured by ratings of experienced emotion during learning), cognitive processes (measured by eye-tracking metrics), and learning outcomes (measured by retention and transfer test scores). One-hundred students were randomly assigned to watch a short multimedia lesson in one of four conditions: no emotional design, colorful emotional design, anthropomorphism emotional design, and colorful and anthropomorphism emotional design. The study results showed that compared to the no emotional design group, the colorful and anthropomorphism emotional design group showed the higher positive emotion rating (d = .726), the shortest time to first fixation on an emotional design area ( d = - .877), the longest fixation duration on emotional design areas ( d = .640), and the best transfer test score ( d = .679). In contrast, the anthropomorphism emotional design group outperformed the no emotional design group only on rating of positive emotion, and the colorful emotional design group outperformed the no emotional design group only on transfer test score. The results show that two emotional design features are more effective than one in multimedia lessons. A structural equation model indicated that positive emotion (tapping affective processing) and fixation duration (tapping cognitive processing) mediated the pathway from emotional design to learning performance. These results partially support the Cognitive-Affective Model of E-Learning.
