One of the video presentation styles is a dialogue style where the learning material is presented with a dialogue between a tutor/teacher and a tutee student. The presence of the tutee and dialogues provide cues that enable the observer student to pay more attention to the video. However, most video lectures available are in a monologue style. The authors developed a system that transforms a monologue-style lecture video into a dialogue-like video style by adding a synthetic tutee agent. They conducted a within-subject design experiment involving first-year undergraduate students comparing this dialogue-like video style with other two traditional video lecture styles, the monologue, and dialogue styles. The evaluation found that students perceived the dialogues in the dialogue and dialogue-like style supported them to have a better learning experience. The finding indicates that this dialogue-like video style has a comparable effect on the traditional dialogue video.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Distance Educ.

This study employed the K-means clustering method to analyze the online teaching behavior data of 1147 courses from a local university in East China. As a result, five types of courses with distinct teaching behaviors were identified: resource preparation (4.1%), online classroom interaction (3.6%), task evaluation (9.2%), active interaction (15.5%), and inactive interaction (67.6%). By examining the relationship between these course types and academic performance, the authors discovered no significant difference in the academic performance of students in the three course groups (i.e., resource preparation, online classroom interaction, and task evaluation) and students in the inactive interaction course group. However, there was a significant disparity in academic performance between students in active interaction courses and students in inactive interaction courses. These findings can assist teachers in planning online teaching activities more effectively and improving teaching outcomes.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Distance Educ.

To help facilitate such a progression, an electronic engineering course oriented around the Creative Innovation Practice project has been designed with the objectives of student-centric instruction, integration of both theoretical and practical components, and application of knowledge through project case studies. Adopting the open engineering education approach, there has been an initiation of project-driven blended teaching centered on “constructivism,” constituting a model that joins online and offline instruction, in-class and out-of-class tasks, activities inside and outside the laboratory, coursework, and contests. This amalgamated mode of learning has had a beneficial outcome in enhancing learners' self-learning capabilities, hands-on practice, as well as their inventive aptitude. According to an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) evaluation and assessment, blended teaching could effectively augment participants' eagerness to learn and motivation.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

After participation, students were surveyed to discern their impressions of the experience, including the administration of a presence questionnaire, a key indicator of virtual environment (VE) efficacy. High student presence scores were significantly correlated with the perception that the VC facilitated learning (r = .573, p = .001). Conversely, students who perceived the course content as challenging were less likely to recommend the VC as a viable alternative learning platform. Furthermore, in terms of presence, undergraduate and graduate students were not significantly different. In summary, health professions students view immersive technologies favorably and may benefit from using such platforms as alternative or supplemental learning tools regardless of their academic level.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Despite digital education's increasing popularity, there remain issues when it comes to teacher-student interactions in digital space, which have made it impossible for this model to achieve the same teaching quality as traditional in-person education. Compared with other academic subjects, online courses in design practice have even more severe problems with teacher-student interaction. This study proposes a new teaching interaction assistance model in online design practice courses. The model uses the TAPs method to establish evaluation codes based on students' design thinking as well as through feedback-thinking related codes. This teaching interaction assistance model is established by combining these thinking codes and the LSTM model. This study takes an online design practice course as a case study, and the results have shown that this model can help teachers and students communicate more effectively and improve the teaching quality of online design practice courses.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The main objective was to discover and document the relationships between Learning Styles and Learning Objects considered by researchers, in order to provide accurate content recommendations.

Its main goal is to define the author's sentiment in texts and increase the assertiveness of detecting the sentence's emotional state by adding authors' information and preferences. The author's emotional state begins with the phrase extraction from Virtual Learning Environments; then, pre-processing techniques are applied in the text, which is submitted to the complex frame network to identify words with polarity and the author's text sentiment. The flow ends with the identification of the author's emotional state. The proposal was evaluated by a case study, applying the Sentiment Analysis approach to the students' school dropout problem. The results point to the feasibility of the proposal for asserting the student's emotional state and detection of students' risks of dropout.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.
