A questionnaire was used to gather data from 631 university students in Malaysia. The findings suggest the science students' more positive views of Facebook for ESL learning compared to their non-Science counterparts, although the differences in percentages between the two groups are small. The science students perceived higher confidence and motivation to read, speak, and write in English, in online and offline environment, after being exposed to Facebook. The science students also indicated a higher level of English language proficiency compared to the non-science students, which may explain their better perceived confidence and willingness to use Facebook in ESL environment. The incorporation of Facebook as a social media should therefore be seen as facilitating a variety of preferred learning styles and strategies in boosting students' learning interest, improving their language abilities, and providing them with the best academic experience.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89424476","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}

Globally, education modes have improved through learning management systems (LMSs) as a result of technological advancements. Accra Technical University (ATU) in Ghana is currently facing the problem of turning away qualified applicants due to the fact that the academic resources in ATU are not enough to accommodate all qualified applicants. Using a quantitative research instrument (questionnaire) in accordance to the five-point Likert scale and components of the technology acceptance model (TAM) framework, this paper tackled the problem above by proposing and developing an LMS to support the education of students in ATU. Analytical results of data responses from 200 lecturers and 16 students in ATU, showed that majority of these stakeholders are willing to embrace technology and the developed LMS in ATU.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"13 1","pages":"87-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81522507","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 were required to watch video lectures and read lecture notes in advance (pre-class self-study) to prepare themselves for the in-class lectures and tutorials. A mix-methods approach was employed: quantitative survey (n=204) and qualitative interview (n=7) were administered simultaneously. The results suggested that students are not fully ready for a flipped classroom. Most of the students still prefer face-to-face in-class lectures and tutorials. The in-class activities have a positive impact on students' test performance, especially the male students. Peer learning however induces a negative impact on students' test performance, especially among the female students. Pre-class self-study has no impact on students' test performance, except for those without prior programming experience. Females outperform males even though they lack prior programming experience. Students, regardless of programming background, respond equally to a flipped classroom approach.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"23 1","pages":"23-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86524298","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}

According to results of the study, the installation of Moodle on micro PC was evaluated as slow. However, students agree that given the price of the device, it can be used as an alternative for the existing version of LMS used in the university. Ease of use of the system, working on micro PC, was also evaluated lower compared to the one on the server.

There were two groups (virtual group and real group); one visited virtual museum (n=14), and the other (n=14) visited real one. Semi-structured interview form and student drawings were used to discuss students' evaluations about two environments. The results suggested that students who have attended virtual museum tour remember much more about the events and objects than students who have visited real museum tour. Students who attended virtual museum tours had perceived presence mostly as much as and in some cases, more than the real group students.

The authors examined the improvement of Texas in-service teachers' English as a second language (ESL) pedagogical and content knowledge after participating in a VPD program designed for developing teachers' ESL instructional capacity. Chi-square analyses were conducted with participant pre- and post-survey data (n=61). Results indicated a significant improvement in teacher knowledge after program completion. There was no difference in teachers' knowledge gains based on their school district location.

As a result of these findings, the gear model is proposed, which accounts for current research findings such as emotional and learner presences.

In designing such experiences, it is essential that users are regularly engaged in a collaborative design process. However, engaging in design, development and evaluation can in itself provide a learning experience. Here, we present our approach to engaging children in the design, development and evaluation of a virtual learning environment, specifically a Serious Game, focused on inculcating empathy, ethical reasoning and reflection for coping with bullying. We demonstrate that children’s involvement not only contributed to an improved virtual environment, but significantly, engaging in the design process provided children with a novel and effective learning opportunity. Through using innovative child-centered participatory design practices, this research provides perceptive insights into how engaging children in design can be employed as a learning experience for emotionally-sensitive learning as well as an approach to gathering user design input. The material outlined in this article is directly linked to virtual worlds for positive change— meeting the needs of children, empowering them to be consulted and take responsibility for issues that affect them at school.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"68 1","pages":"50-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75636770","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}
