Abstract: The quality education goal is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that United Nations aim to achieve by 2023. While, there is still a long way to go to achieve the goal. Information and communications technologies (ICT) provides efficient tools to substantially strengthen and accelerate the process. Thus, in this paper, we design an Internet+ education platform to facilitate all participants conducting quality education effectively and efficiently, providing extensive intelligent quality education tools by exploiting various ICT. Functions provided by the platform can be conveniently used by each user over any kind of end devices, which helps to increase the interests of students and younger teachers in learning and education. In addition, taking the academic success as a case, we study factors influencing the quality education effect by machine learning algorithms on the platform. We propose an LR-based algorithm to predict the academic success of undergraduates to find quality education issues timely. Experiment results verify the performance superior of the LR-based algorithm.

However, for the teaching practicum (TP) module, the move to online required specially designed interventions, resulting in a variety of different TP COVID-19 configurations. Fortuitously, at the outbreak of COVID-19, a group of academics at a South African Open Distance and E-Learning (ODeL) Institution were on the verge of launching a pilot-study with a TP mobile app solution. To better develop a mobile app, this article reviews recent literature on the integration of online technologies in the contemplation of TP COVID-19 interventions and ask the research question: What were TP supervisors' responses to the feasibility of a TP app' The literature showed an absence of a comprehensive mobile app, while supervisors displayed enthusiasm towards the proposal, but caution against the uncertainties of technological capacity and internet accessibility. Recommendations for the mobile app proposal are suggested.

Authors:Dang; Mandy Yan, Zhang, Yulei Gavin, Albritton, M. David Pages: 1 - 19 Abstract: Advancements in internet technology have fundamentally changed how companies conduct their business activities, leading us into a business analytics (BA) era. In this article, the authors aim to investigate factors that could shape students' career choice considerations toward BA jobs after they have been exposed to BA course content in an undergraduate BA course. They investigated various theoretical perspectives, including experiential and active learning theories and social cognitive career theory, and developed a research model. The model testing results show that the organization and logical flow in how the course was designed and delivered, the help offered to manage difficulty of content, and students' individual learning effort could influence perceived learning outcomes, which in turn, had a significant influence on their learning interest. In addition, increases in both learning interest and subjective norm had positive impacts on career choice considerations, with learning interest having a much stronger influence over subjective norm.

Authors:Hasan; Asif, Habib, Sufyan, Khan, Mohammed Arshad, Hamadneh, Nawaf N. Pages: 1 - 21 Abstract: This study aims to explore the various factors influencing students in adopting e-learning in educational institutions in Saudi Arabia and analyze the relationship between factors of students' adoption of e-learning and student behavior intention. The study also analyzes perceived opportunities and challenges faced by students in adopting an e-learning system in higher education. A well-structured questionnaire was developed, and information was collected from 509 respondents. The study found that students' behavioral intention to adopt e-learning is highly influenced by performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, computer self-efficacy, and internet knowledge. The study confirms the mediating role of student engagement that can act as an alternate path for strengthening the relationship between factors of adoption of e-learning and behavioral intention. In addition, several implications and new lines of investigation are recommended for meeting the educational transformation needs and future sustainability.

Authors:Abdallah; Asma, Ismail, Osama, Abdallah, Rasha Khalil, Alkaabi, Ahmed M. Pages: 1 - 17 Abstract: This paper investigates the use of webinars among students at a university in Abu Dhabi using UTAUT model. Cross-sectional research design was used, and 134 participants were involved through a purposive criterion sampling technique. Data were collected through a survey based on a questionnaire. Findings revealed a significant relationship among performance expectancy (p-value 0.000), effort expectancy (p-value 0.000), and social influence (p-value 0.000), and an insignificant relationship with facilitating conditions (p-value 0.10) and voluntariness of use (p-value 0.61). The results would facilitate educational institutions in implementing the advanced system of education incorporating the use of webinars as a contemporary technological tool. The study is significant in determining the need for the use of webinars in class, illustrating both students' and teachers' perspectives. The implementation of the proposed results is not only limited to the case of Abu Dhabi but can be generalized to other educational institutions as well.

Authors:Ye; Zhonglin, Yang, Yanlin, Meng, Lei, Li, Gege, Wang, Zhaoyang, Zhao, Haixing Pages: 1 - 18 Abstract: This article first put forward the educational application of immersive virtual laboratories for the problems of poor spatial thinking ability and weak hands-on operation ability. Second, aiming at the problems of a lack of excellent backbone teachers and insufficient educational information equipment, a Tibetan-Chinese bilingual immersion virtual basic teaching system suitable for students in pastoral areas has been developed to complement the teaching of teachers in remote areas. Third, the application of virtual gymnasiums is proposed to reduce the physical discomfort of students under harsh conditions. And then the application of virtual vocational technical training is proposed for poor employment situations in agro-pastoralism areas. Finally, the Tibetan-Chinese bilingual immersive virtual basic teaching system developed for pastoral students was put into use for a short period of time in the farming and pastoral schools and was well received by the pastoral students, and the teachers also gave feedback that the system has now improved at least the concentration of the student.

Authors:Shou; Zhaoyu, Tang, Mengxue, Wen, Hui, Liu, Jinghua, Mo, Jianwen, Zhang, Huibing Pages: 1 - 19 Abstract: In this paper, a key node mining algorithm of entropy-CRITIC combined weighted GRA-TOPSIS method is proposed, which is based on the network structure features. First, the method obtained multi-dimensional data of students' identities, seating relationships, social relationships, and so on to build a database. Then, the seating similarity among students was used to construct the in-class social networks and analyze the structural characteristics of them. Finally, the CRITIC and entropy weight method was introduced for obtaining the combined weight values and the GRA-TOPSIS multi-decision fusion algorithm to mine the key student nodes that have negative impact. The experiments showed that the algorithm of this paper can evaluate students objectively based on their classroom social networks, providing technical support for process-oriented comprehensive quality education evaluation.

Authors:Liu; Chunhong, Zhang, Jieyu, Zhang, Haoyang, Li, Xiaoniu, Zhang, En Pages: 1 - 11 Abstract: Using the educational knowledge graph to express the logical characteristics of knowledge, this paper takes project-driven learning in the teaching of “Information Technology in Secondary Schools” as an example and studies the group cooperative teaching mode based on the educational knowledge graph. The relationship between knowledge points in subject courses is described in the form of a knowledge graph, and the learning activities of coordinating the cooperation of each group are completed through the integration process of the knowledge graph. The use of a group cooperation teaching mode in the classroom can not only build a collaborative knowledge system between teachers and students but also help to carry out project-driven learning. The application of the knowledge graph of “Information Technology in Middle School” in the classroom can better show the logic between knowledge, and its graphical structure can help students to structure the knowledge they have learned.

Authors:Wu; Yunli Pages: 1 - 20 Abstract: This study aims at the autonomy dimension of students in the college English flipped classroom based on the help of a sensor network to investigate and explore the status quo in each stage of the college English flipped classroom, analyse the shortcomings, and propose teaching suggestions. The college English curriculum reform has been in effect for more than 10 years since it started in 2004. Under the foreshadowing of information-assisted teaching, the flipped classroom teaching model also influences the reform of the Chinese traditional teaching model. The research conducted a one-semester flipped classroom teaching of college English in the subjects' classes. The study analyses the data using SPSS software for correlation analysis and finds that the correlation coefficient (r value) between the total score of autonomy and English performance is 0.904, the sig value is <0.05, and the two component values are highly correlated. Student autonomy is not only important in the English flipped classroom but also has a significant impact on students' performance.

Authors:Liu; Chunhong, Zhang, Haoyang, Zhang, Jieyu, Zhang, Zhengling, Yuan, Peiyan Pages: 1 - 18 Abstract: Current learning platforms generally have problems such as fragmented knowledge, redundant information, and chaotic learning routes, which cannot meet learners' autonomous learning requirements. This paper designs a learning path recommendation system based on knowledge graphs by using the characteristics of knowledge graphs to structurally represent subject knowledge. The system uses the node centrality and node weight to expand the knowledge graph system, which can better express the structural relationship among knowledge. It applies the particle swarm fusion algorithm of multiple rounds of iterative simulated annealing to achieve the recommendation of learning paths. Furthermore, the system feeds back the students' learning situation to the teachers. Teachers check and fill in the gaps according to the performance of the learners in the teaching activities. Aiming at the weak links of students' knowledge points, the particle swarm intelligence algorithm is used to recommend learning paths and learning resources to fill in the gaps in a targeted manner.
