This annotated bibliography explores scholarly literature published between 2010 and 2016 that addresses the analysis of student-generated data, called learning analytics (Fiaidhi, 2014), with the intention of providing early intervention to promote better academic outcomes. It provides information to higher-education instructors and administrators who are interested in learning about (a) reduc...

In an e-learning system, it is difficult to grasp the learner’s condition for learning. In the face-to-face learning environment, we tend to notice if there is something unusual about learners and help them out of difficulties. In addition, we often cannot keep learners from dropping out of the e-learning course. This suggests a requirement for a research study specially focused on how to predi...

Virtual learning system (VLS) is an information system that facilitates e-learning have been widely implemented by higher education institutions to support face-to-face teaching and self-managed learning in the virtual learning and education environment (VLE). This is referred to a blended learning instruction. By adopting the VLS, students are expected to enhance learning by getting access to ...

As long as students use Web 2.0 tools extensively for social purposes, there is an opportunity to improve students' engagement in Higher Education by using these tools for academic purposes under a Personal Learning Environment approach (PLE 2.0). The success of these attempts depends upon the reactions and acceptance of users towards e-learning using Web 2.0. This paper aims to analyse the fac...

Mobile learning games have increasingly been topic of educational research with the intention to utilize their manifold and ubiquitous capabilities for learning and teaching. This paper presents a review of current research activities in the field. It particularly focuses is on the educational values serious mobile games provide. The study results substantiate their generally assumed motivation...

The study has modified UTAUT (Venkatesh et. al., 2003) to determine technology acceptance of web-based learning system of Taiwan technical university students. This study used cluster sampling and stepwise regression analysis to determine the relationships among constructs. Research results showed that performance expectancy, attitude toward using technology, facilitating conditions, self-effic...

We describe an experimental study of difficulty related distraction by conflicting goal intentions in learning and problem solving with hypertext. Log files are used to capture hypertext navigation in the face of opportunities to implement competing goal intentions. We study how task difficulty influences the volitional protection of the current goal intention. First attempts to integrate volit...
