Assessing Patterns of Students’ Attainment of Professional Standards in Higher Education
It is widely recognized that higher education (HE) graduates require a broad range of professional skills and abilities to succeed in their future careers. This narrow emphasis limits the capacity to effectively and holistically evaluate a student’s professional competency and readiness for employment. This issue is particularly acute for HE degrees that require graduates to demonstrate attainment of externally regulated professional standards. W…
An unobtrusive approach to modelling team cohesion and collaboration in ecological classroom settings
Cohesion and collaboration, particularly in K-12 settings, emerge as emergent phenomena, yet due to challenges in conducting classroom analytics studies in ecological settings, existing research mainly focuses on surveys. This calls for investigating cohesion in ecological settings to obtain insights directly applicable to students. To derive ecologically valid insights into the emergent processes of cohesion and collaboration, this study analyse…
Creative Thinking and Non-Cognitive Factors in Science
Educational institutions worldwide are increasingly urged to recognize the significance of integrating creative thinking and other essential capabilities across different academic disciplines. Additionally, there is a growing focus on students’ non-cognitive factors. However, relationships between creativity and non-cognitive factors, such as self-concept in subjects such as science, are not well understood. Given the global attempts to increase …

Examining practicums within initial teacher education programs
The relationship between students’ self-regulated learning skills and technology acceptance of GenAI
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has quickly become prolific in our daily lives, including the higher education sector. Although an AI-fuelled world is unpredictable, there is an urgent need to understand how university students use GenAI to support their learning and the factors influencing GenAI adoption. In this study, underpinned by self-regulated learning (SRL) theory and the technology acceptance model, we examined how university …
The application of curriculum analytics for improving assessments and quality assurance in higher education
Curriculum mapping is a necessary process for establishing evidence of where learning outcomes are taught and assessed in higher education programmes. Mapping ensures the credibility of the institution and programme offerings and provides students with a clear understanding of what they can expect to learn and achieve during their academic studies. Well-mapped curricula that reference relevant standards and articulate aligned assessments are foun…
Using online learner trace data to understand the cohesion of teams in higher education
Learning theories for artificial intelligence promoting learning processes
This paper discusses a three‐level model that synthesizes and unifies existing learning theories to model the roles of artificial intelligence (AI) in promoting learning processes. The model, drawn from developmental psychology, computational biology, instructional design, cognitive science, complexity and sociocultural theory, includes a causal learning mechanism that explains how learning occurs and works across micro, meso and macro levels. Th…
Team interactions with learning analytics dashboards
Grade-based similarity prevails in online course forums at scale
Aligning objectives with assessment in online courses
Digital education strategies around the world
Technology is omnipresent in our rapidly changing digital world. Capitalising on these technologies is paramount for education systems to support a modern workforce. This study presents a review of 10 countries, highlighting how different public education systems have integrated digital technologies for teaching and learning. These education systems were selected based on their high performance and continuous improvement in international assessme…
Measuring leadership development in workplace learning using automated assessments
Technological affordances have shown promising potential in advancing the delivery of corporate learning programmes designed for professional leadership development. However, there is a considerable challenge in evaluating learners' skill acquisition, with most of the past research relying on pre‐ and post‐tests or other forms of self‐reports to measure leadership development. In that sense, these approaches measure leadership development before …
Assessing the sequencing of learning objectives in a study program using evidence-based practice
The success and satisfaction of students with online courses is significantly impacted by the sequencing of learning objectives and activities. Equally critical is designing online degree programs and structuring multiple courses to reduce learners’ cognitive load and attain maximum learning success. In its current form, the evaluation of program design is complex and done primarily using stakeholders’ perceptions and qualitative methods, which a…

Virtual academic conferences as learning spaces
Social presence in online discussions as a process predictor of academic performance
With the steady development of online education and online learning environments, possibilities to support social interactions between students have advanced significantly. This study examined the relationship between indicators of social presence and academic performance. Social presence is defined as students' ability to engage socially with an online learning community. The results of a multiple regression analysis showed that certain indicato…
