Game-based Business Simulation is considered as one of the most important teaching and learning tools in Entrepreneurship Education due to its effectiveness in providing a realistic representation of a business within a virtual environment. It provides students with the opportunity to experience business scenarios and situations thus stimulating their creativity and entrepreneurial skills. However, there are very limited studies that explore the effectiveness of business simulation tools among engineering students in Higher Education. The objective of this paper is to analyze a specific business simulation tool called ‘SimVenture Evolution’ used in a popular postgraduate module ‘Enterprise’ in the Department of Electronic Engineering at York. A blended approach was used in the delivery of this module with a series of theoretical lectures in parallel with an authentic experience of running a hypothetical business within the simulation. A survey was conducted among the cohort undertaking this module in the Spring of 2020 to measure their confidence with various aspects of entrepreneurship before and after undertaking this module. Can such experiential technologies facilitate the development of a wide range of skills needed to stimulate students' entrepreneurial competences? The paper will discuss the findings of this study and also highlight if such approaches can transform the educational setting in entrepreneurship education for engineering students.","PeriodicalId":339339,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128400981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking a worldwide perspective on the influence on the right to education, this article analyzes how the South African education systems responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we swiftly transition to distance education, we must also ensure that we are not caught off guard again. Education systems worldwide must begin long-term planning and construction of distance education systems in order to be prepared for the inevitable next emergency. If COVID-19 teaches us anything, it is that distance education cannot be a “nice to have” supplement to the existing educational system; it must be a “must have,” integrated, and indispensable component of the total educational system. The findings indicated that governments have an uneven capacity for responding to and preparing for the learning losses associated with school closures. We concluded that it is critical to articulate inclusive educational policies that support strengthening the government's response capacity, particularly in terms of access to technology, electricity, connectivity, ICT devices, learning materials and technology adapted curriculum and educator training all in addressing the countries response to educational crisis and eventually embracing the opportunity of stirring the education sector into the fourth industrial revolution.","PeriodicalId":339339,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128304718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The affordance of an effective virtual communication channel can support college students' sense of belonging and mitigate their anxiety, which in turn can help them reach their maximum academic potential and greater well-being. In this study, we explored the common problems faced by college students—in particular, students enrolled in the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at King Abdulaziz University—when they seek help, ask questions, or find out about current and upcoming events in the college. Moreover, we explored their knowledge of chatbots and their perceived effectiveness in answering frequently asked questions. The results revealed 1) the absence of a single platform that helps them communicate and share mutual benefits in an effective, easy, and fast manner, and 2) that less than half of the surveyed participants had previously interacted with a chatbot. Thus, the paper presents the development of a unified communication channel by building a mobile application that brings college students together to communicate and exchange common experiences and interests while being supported by a digital assistant technology (chatbot), which can answer common questions and inquiries. Users in a pilot test showed a high satisfaction level with the app.","PeriodicalId":339339,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127664079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current in-class lab teaching has several drawbacks such as the high cost of lab materials, physical constraints in lab sizes, and exposure to hazardous materials. Besides, with Covid-19, access to the in-person labs and materials is significantly restricted. This restriction hampers regular lab instruction, self-learning, and hands-on experience. Our ARChem platform stems from the motivation of delivering a similar experience to regular instruction. In addition, ARChem aims to promote learning and advancement by incorporating gaming elements. Also, assessment and evaluation are provided for self-improvement. Our ARChem in-class chemistry lab uses a physical environment and virtual lab equipment and fluids. The environment is based on the AR technique where virtual lab equipment and materials (e.g. fluids and supplies) are overlaid on the physical environment using only mobile devices. To do this efficiently, ARChem provides computationally optimal methods such as simulating multiple bimanual chemistry reactions, low-cost fluid physics in containers, and realistic visualization. We enable a realistic lab environment with minimal hardware constraints attaining high simulation and visual frame rates. This simulation efficiency makes ARChem compatible with a wide range of low-end mobile devices and is accessible to any student. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate the drawbacks of current in-class teaching with a simulation environment and improve remote and asynchronous learning experience especially during an outbreak like Covid-19.","PeriodicalId":339339,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"519 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123125541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses the understudied topic of integrating a Recommender System (RS) in a Learning Design (LD) environment as a means to personalise the support offered to teachers for designing learning. We present a study in a teacher education context, collecting teachers' perceptions of learning design recommendations to explore the recommendation form and method that teachers value while designing. Our findings point out teachers' appreciation of an LD environment integrating a macro form of recommending entire learning designs alike learning objects in online educational repositories. They also favour complementing the macro with a micro form that supports the LD process by recommending specific elements within a learning design. Our study indicates the need for a hybrid recommendation method appropriately filtering a learning design's context and evaluation. Also, this research justifies the need to integrate an RS in an LD environment, reporting as teachers' anticipated benefits (i) stimulating the initiation of designing for learning, (ii) advancing their LD practice by conceiving new design ideas, and (iii) providing a means of developing their LD experience effectively. The anticipated challenges point out the requirement of an RS that provides appropriate recommendations and the high need to cultivate teachers' LD knowledge and mindset towards employing LD environments and RSs effectively.","PeriodicalId":339339,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126502597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a popular online learning tool, they often suffer from high user attrition. This paper investigated this effect for 6 different MOOCs with more than 35 thousand users, using AdaBoosted decision trees to create a model which was then used for the prediction of dropouts, as well as the calculation of feature importance scores. The resulting model generally scored high accuracy scores which were plotted for each course, and feature importance scores were especially high for the features encompassing the number of user requests, the user's total active time and the average time between clicks. Furthermore, the paper explored the results of the inclusion of forum data in this setting. While the forum features did not lead to a major increase in model accuracy, there was a statistical difference between the number of forum interactions for those who completed the MOOCs and those who did not, which opens up possibilities for future research into utilization of forum interaction data, and forums in MOOCs in general.","PeriodicalId":339339,"journal":{"name":"2021 19th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114148979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
