Experiential learning is an essential component of the 21st-century, higher-education curriculum. Professional preparation programs are particularly reliant on experiential learning to bridge the divide between teaching theory and practice. While experiential learning opportunities themselves are invaluable for students, meaningful feedback and…

With the emergence of technology, the personalization of e-learning systems is enhanced. These systems use a set of parameters for personalizing courses. However, in literature, these parameters are not based on classification and optimization algorithms to implement them in the cloud. Cloud computing is a new model of computing where standard and…

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered nearly every aspect of life, including education. Technology has replaced face-to-face teaching and learning nearly totally. This health disaster has accelerated digitization in the world of education, which was previously only available without a repulsive factor. Cloud computing technology has been widely used…

The objective of the research was to find out the key factors that influence the acceptance and usage of cloud computing systems in the Omani higher education sector, with special emphasis on the COVID-19 outbreak. For this purpose, a quantitative research approach was conducted where 200 students from several Omani higher education institutions…

"Coming out" is a powerful way for individuals to disclose, constitute, and perform membership in stigmatized identity categories. The practice has now spread far beyond its LGBTQ origins. In this essay, I examine how atheists and other secularists have taken up and adapted coming out discourse to meet their situational and rhetorical…

In Georgia, students with disabilities are falling behind students without disabilities in reading. Students with disabilities need to learn how to read fluently and comprehend because reading is embedded in all academic areas. Guided by LaBerge and Samuels's theory of automatic information processing in reading, the purpose of the study was to…

Cloud service is an emerging technology in Higher education institutions (HEIs). However, while providing this technology, quality of service (QoS) not given sufficiently important attention especially from the HEIs and decision makers. In this research, previous QoS models and frameworks are reviewed of researches done in this field are…

Problem-solving is considered as an important skill for learning Mathematics. Integration of cloud technology into Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) has been considered as an instructional approach to study students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the suitability of the MEAs using cloud…

Cloud classrooms provide many advantages in higher education. However, little is known about the social influence of peer relationships on students' acceptance of cloud classrooms. This study utilized structural equation modeling to examine a model that integrates the Universal Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Connected…

The concept of blending mobile learning and cloud computing (cloud-based m-learning) is potentially a strong fit for higher education in developing countries with inadequate infrastructure. Notwithstanding the potential benefits, while a substantial number of theoretical studies exist, there are limited studies focusing on the practical…

The Arctic is the fastest changing region in the world in response to increased greenhouse gas emissions and is projected to become seasonally sea ice-free over the next century. Arctic cloud-sea ice feedbacks are a source of uncertainty for predicting rates of future sea ice loss. Beyond scientific research, effectively communicating new climate…

Contribution: This article explores the impact of the combination of various pedagogical approaches to deliver high-quality learning experiences for online-based engineering students. Though existing research extensively studied online education approaches, limited research has investigated how to bridge the gap between online cloud-based and…

This article explores potential uses, misuses, beneficiaries, and tensions of learning analytics in higher education. While those promoting and using learning analytics generally agree that ethical practice is imperative, and student privacy and rights are important, navigating the complex maze of ethical dilemmas can be challenging, particularly…

Shortages within the cybersecurity workforce are not new; fluctuations in supply and demand, fiscal and monetary constraints, and technological advances have influenced changes within the cybersecurity workforce nationally and globally. Cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) impact many different cybersecurity roles within different…
