The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically shaped higher education and seen distinct rise e-learning as a compulsory element modern educational landscape. Accordingly, this study highlights factors which have influenced how students perceive their academic performance during emergency changeover to e-learning. empirical analysis is performed on sample 10,092 from 10 countries across 4 continents pandemic’s first wave through an online survey. A structural equation model revealed...
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a wide range negative consequences for higher education students. We explored generalizability control-value theory achievement emotions e-learning, focusing on their antecedents. involved 17019 students from 13 countries, who completed an online survey during first wave pandemic. A structural equation model revealed that proximal antecedents (e-learning self-efficacy, computer self-efficacy) mediated relation between environmental (cognitive and...
Abstract Trauma scientists have raised the alarm about devastating consequences of Ukraine war on mental health. We examined how higher education students—as indirect victims—coped with this conflict and they emotionally reacted during 2022. involved 2314 students from 16 countries through an online survey. A structural equation model indicated significant relations between war-related worry military macroeconomics domains two coping strategies (opposition, support giving), in turn...
This paper describes and justify the process of designing a curriculum unit Advanced Database Topics for masters’ students in informatics engineering, data engineering branch. The aim is to create that integrates contemporary pedagogical approaches aligned with demands job market, prepare skills fill existing gaps, mainly software development. structured essential components, educational objectives select criteria considered when preparing are explained. best effectively integrate relevant...
The evolution of learning technology and tools changed the way students access information build their knowledge. Registering interaction with these generates a large amount data that, once critically analysed, can provide important clues about students' progress. Nevertheless research has still to be conducted fully understand how (and if) technologies relates success. In parallel, new analytical must developed allow teachers exploit embedded in this data, friendly but flexible way. This...
Higher Education (HE) teachers are aware that the evolution of technology changed way students build their knowledge. New forms access to information and new means communication allowed creating specialized learning tools. It is now important understand how students' interaction with technologies influences success. For purpose, data referring use a management system (LMS) supporting specific course was collected analyzed. Results indicate minor correlation exists between effective those...
This paper aims to demonstrate the ongoing work of developing a framework that will allows improve performance students. The combines use open source virtual worlds, Sloodle module and learning analytics tool, in order facilitate execution collaborative techniques improved students through tool monitorization. is still design phase later be tested classroom context. target public fifth year basic education, with aim mathematics.
Massive and Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide an opportunity to reach the target audience widely. To maximize its potential, a pedagogical model of MOOC in Educational Technologies was implemented at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) satisfy deaf blind communities. These communities face many communication barriers, not allowing them integrate within larger intellectual as most tools used for information dissemination remain inaccessible them. The Blind/Deaf Communications...

Considering the opportunity provided by Massive and Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to reach wide audiences, a new pedagogical model of MOOC in Educational Technologies was implemented at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) aiming maximizing MOOCs’ potential provide educational offers both deaf blind communities. These communities face several distinctive communication barriers, not allowing them integrate within larger intellectual as most tools used for information dissemination...
Information systems applications: What are the application areas?
The increased use of educational games as tools in classes is mainly explained by the motivational power that attributed to games. In general, and need change methodologies for emergency education. This article investigates role different forms influence game context teaching motivating students engage game. Based on self-determination theory a mixed-method case study approach, seven were studied graduate-level engineering course two consecutive years. authors reveal through research can...
In the field of educational technologies, authors intend to support hypothesis that although learning is usually attributed students, it also true teachers learn, just as societies learn. The coherence and concern these different levels (students, teachers, institutions) around issue can, in authors' opinion, be considered a guide sign quality education. this case, general models development pedagogical devices can questioned order develop new uses, teaching methods teacher training, promote...
The aim of this article is to present an online assessment system for tasks/papers and/or handwritten or digital exams. Initially teachers students scan and load the work on platform. then classify distribute results using web-based in question optimized three fundamental dimensions: speed, consistency flexibility. primary innovation that allows improvements dimensions a dynamic efficient evolution each assessment.
