A quantitative survey, in the form of a self-administered questionnaire, was conducted amongst 134 adult learners following Level 6 part-time courses offered at MCAST, aged ≥ 21 & ≤ 56 years. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of a descriptive analysis whilst in the second part, linear multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the students overall learning experience (dependent variable) vis-à-vis different teaching scenarios consisting of different levels of technological usage. Primarily, it resulted that all the participants ($mathrm{n}=134$) are connected to the world of digital information via their smartphones and other telecommunication devices. Moreover, the vast majority (40%) of the students spend more than four hours a day on the web. Nonetheless, the results indicate that the participants strongly rejected the idea of minimizing or replacing the role of the educator. In the second part of the questionnaire, blended learning (mixed mode) emerged as the strongest predictor. Lastly, none of the students ($mathrm{p} > 0.05$) opted for the traditional face-to-face lecturing without use of technological tools thereby indicating that the mode of teaching has become obsolete.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122718257","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 public education in the Philippines had to overhaul its system to ensure quality and to provide accessible education to all students. Varying strategies have emerged to deliver relevant Online Classroom Delivery (OCD). The utilization of e-Assessment was sought after to generate real-time feedback to facilitate and monitor the students' progress. This research aimed to determine the students' perceptions and anxieties with OCD embedded e-Assessment, and the challenges encountered in an OCD. A cross-sectional survey was employed to determine the students' perceptions and anxieties. The results revealed the perceived threats and the remarkable anxiety levels of the students caused by the pandemic. This supports the information that the students' perception of using e-Assessment is positively correlated with their levels of anxiety. Challenges attributed to the perceived threats and anxiety included the availability of the technology, the presence or absence of internet connection, mobilization of software and related technology, appropriateness of e-Assessment strategy whether to be given as (diagnostic, formative or summative), teachers' adeptness, and familiarity towards the innovation of educational technology. Accordingly, this paper recommends the strengthening of research efforts in relation to the factors that increase students' level of anxiety in OCD, incorporation of accessible and easy-to-use mental health services, and computer training for both teachers and students.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123278911","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}

In order to improve the teaching effect of serious games, enrich the teaching process, and stimulate students' curiosity and interest, Survival Island is used as the carrier of serious games. In the context of the application and improvement of Kolb's theory of experiential learning circles, this paper provides a systematic study of the technology transfer and outcome evaluation of serious games. The main method is to use the game through the operation of “experience-publish-summary-application-improvement” Procedure, the introduction of the first teaching focus: team concept and problem-solving background, through the conflicts of team members and then introduced to the second teaching focus: communication concepts and skills, etc. Specifically, 68 students of 18 levels of administrative management in a college are divided into large experimental group, small experimental group, and observation group for course teaching. After class practice tests, after-class effect evaluation surveys, the large experimental group's knowledge acquisition and satisfaction levels are respectively reached 95.56% and 97.78%, the knowledge acquisition and satisfaction degree of the small experimental group reached 93.33% and 95.56%, respectively, and the knowledge acquisition and satisfaction degree of the observation group reached 92.8% and 91.2%, respectively. The results show that this serious game is mainly conducted by students for participatory practice simulation exploration, and has achieved good results, which proves that the serious game design and technology transfer are effective.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"193 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124305931","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}

Students felt that the relative leaderboard imposed less peer pressure than the absolute leaderboard, and it helped them concentrate on setting their personal goals for the subsequent course activities. Students also preferred to see the top 5 peers listed publicly on the relative leaderboard to determine the performance gap distance concerning their performance and the highperformance peers.","PeriodicalId":432459,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Educational Technology (ICET)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125567483","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}
