Several studies have indicated that stakeholder engagement could ensure the successful adoption of learning analytics (LA). Considering that researchers and tech developers may not be aware of how LA tools can derive meaningful and actionable information for everyday use, these studies suggest that participatory approaches based on human-centred…

The new contexts in higher education, shifting from face-to-face to online scenarios, encourage the application of disruptive methodologies adapted to distance learning. Translation and interpreting (T&I) programmes ideally foster the acquisition of competencies such as self-study, which graduates need to enter a largely freelance and…

The study aimed to identify the impact of utilizing blended learning in teaching mathematics (MTH121) course on the achievement of undergraduate learners at Ajman University. The researchers followed the quasi-experimental approach. The sample of the study consisted of (196) males and females split into two control and empiric groups. The…

Past research demonstrates that quality and value of a tertiary education have been continuously scrutinized by various relevant stakeholders within the global higher education community to ensure effective scholarship of engagement amongst university students. Drawing from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), this study aims to examine the…

The intentional teaching application of leadership theories is not often addressed in leadership development programs comprising the field of adult education. The purpose of this study is to understand more deeply the quality, characteristics, and practices of profound leaders. This is an exploratory, empirical study, interviewing seven…

This study examines the dimensionality of a new measure of international students' adjustment using a sample of 189 international students. Drawing on earlier conceptualizations of cross-cultural adjustment as a person-environment fit and a previous scale measuring adjustment from the expatriate literature, this study shows that this scale can be…

This paper elaborates on the notion of object-oriented collaborative learning by building on empirical material from two case studies in higher education. Prior empirical findings show how knowledge objects are evolving entities, shaped by the interactions between participants, and how students learn from engaging in knowledge practice that…

Laboratory work has been a common element of science courses at university level for around two centuries, but its practice has been criticised by scholars in the field and related stakeholders. Mainly on a rationale of financial justification and educational efficacy, more evidence for learning has been called for. The aims of this systematic…

Experiential learning is an effective way to involve students in learning by doing. By using marketing simulations, a dynamic learning experience is created where students develop rich knowledge and skills. While there is strong anecdotal evidence simulations develop knowledge and that involvement in simulations is important, the empirical…

In recent decades, the research community has focused on younger generations' technology readiness, known as The Digital Natives Debate. At the higher education level, this debate led to studies on the quality of digital technology use among undergraduate students. However, empirical investigations on how digital literacy programs can support…

There are multiple challenges associated with participating in a first-year undergraduate management unit at the university level. Students' performance in such units is a critical milestone in their learning journey and can create positive/negative inertia for their future performance and continuation in a program. Through exploratory abductive…

Language learners in higher education increasingly use out-of-class self-directed learning facilitated by mobile technology. In order to make informed educational decisions, this study sets out to provide an overview of empirical research into learning strategies that self-directed learners use with the support of mobile technology in language…

It is well documented that learning oppourtunities afforded by mobile technology (m-learning) holds great potential to enhance technology-enhanced learning in countries and communities with low socio-economic conditions where web-based e-learning has failed because of limited infrastructure and resources. Despite the potential for m-learning, its…

Performance expectancy is the expected impact of a technology's functional advantage even in uncertain conditions. This study suggests that the learning collaboration quality, information quality, and course content support impact the actual use of e-learning and satisfaction perceived by the user, resulting in performance expectancy that meets…

In recent years, university teaching methods have evolved and almost all higher education institutions use e-learning platforms to deliver courses and learning activities. However, these digital learning environments present significant dropout and low completion rates. This is primarily due to the lack of student motivation and engagement.…
