In this work, we perform a systematic review of all currently available apps for the operating system iOS and Android. We consider a number of newly release children writing apps by focusing on their features like the range of functions, target user groups, operating language, acquisition costs, user ratings and the connection between acquisition cost and user ratings. In total, we analysed 497 apps based on functions offered and their cost to users. In addition to the systematic review of apps, we also perform a participant-based usability evaluation of a representative sample i.e. 8% sample of the total collected apps. Totally 40 apps are selected for usability evaluation including 20 apps for iOS and the remaining 20 apps for Android. As a result of usability evaluation of apps, it is found out that with the increase in the number of functions in a mobile app, the usability of the app decreases. The subjective evaluation reveals that participants felt better user experience with iPhone in comparison to Android enabled devices.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"25 1","pages":"137 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2019.1677787","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42510278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, without the support of an active mentor, it might be difficult for the learners to guide themselves on how to accurately evaluate their learning outcome. This article focuses on how students benefited from self-assessing their programming course progress using an adaptive platform, namely QuizIT. We discuss the self-assessment procedure and development as it progresses into an open student model learning platform. The initial release was designated to assist programming novices as they encounter the programming learning journey. It was then followed by an extension to open the possibilities to the learner by having access to the learning model and gaining more control over the assessment experience. Quiz Adapt, was the set of features that provided an adaptive recommender based on an open learner model. The data collected from four study setups are evaluated to show the impact on the learning gain from interacting with the system.

Articles on hotel management published in the last decade and useful for OJT were collected, information on the causal relationships between them extracted, and related rules saved to a rule base. Using the same data, we detected various objects through SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector), a real-time object detection system. Then we matched sets of causalities and displayed them to trainees wearing AR devices. This methodology reduces development and maintenance costs required to operate OJT programmes. Trainees are immersed in the training environment, which improves the effectiveness of the training. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, we developed a prototype AR-OJT system for hotel management training, automatically extracting knowledge on hotel management from articles according to the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the AR-OJT group shows better performance in terms of learning motivation and self-regulated learning than the control OJT group. No significant difference in learning performance was found between the two groups, which implies that traditional OJT can be substituted with AR-OJT.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"25 1","pages":"112 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2019.1694594","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48854267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educational institutions around the world have been incorporating new technologies into existing curriculum and course design in order to reinforce traditional textbook-based and classroom-based instruction. These technology-mediated learning environments have helped learners interact with contents, peers, and teachers. Now, thanks to the development of digital devices such as mobile phones and smart pads, ubiquitous learning following anywhere and anytime principles has become the new educational trend. The objective of this Special Issue is to investigate and explore the impact and outcome of integrating new technologies into the field of education and training. Articles for this Special Issue address a range of education and training settings, focusing on the theory, practice, and development of multimedia and educational technology. Particularly, there is a focus on pedagogical applications of new technologies in order to offer innovative ideas and insight in the fields of education and training. The first paper entitled “Utilising behavioural analytics in a blended programming learning environment,” (Paredes, Huang and Hsiao) reports on a study of the investigation of students’ learning effectiveness in programming learning. To achieve this, they utilised Web Programming Grading Assistant, which was a homegrown educational web application that provided augmented grading and feedback giving interfaces for handwritten assignments. By analysing the relation between students’ effort and academic performances, they concluded several educational implications. The second paper “Combining object detection and causality mining for efficient development of augmented reality-based on-the-job training systems in hotel management” (Koo, Lee and Kwon) proposes an AR-based On-thejob training system which employs text mining and object detection.

For instance, compared with traditional textbook-based learning, e-learning has freed learners from spatial-temporal restrictions, and other educational media are replacing textbooks. Specifically, educational videos have become very popular, as they are effective at conveying their content or meaning. Furthermore, their accessibility has been improved because of the emergence of platforms that enable the sharing and delivery of such videos. However, when learners use such platforms, they tend to face difficulty in finding videos they want, as these platforms have a lot of videos. They also experience the inconvenience of performing additional searches because of the lack of information relevant to the video. To solve these problems, we propose a learning assistant system for educational video platforms. Our system helps learners find videos based on their readability level and contents. Moreover, it provides learners with useful information such as keywords and named entities for further learning activities. To demonstrate the effectiveness, we implemented a prototype system on a website dealing with speech videos and performed various experiments. By reporting some results, we show that our scheme can be used to implement sustainable education.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"25 1","pages":"161 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2019.1678682","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48526537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the right area for the research is chosen by the researcher, it can help in getting more citations and better research outcome in terms of acceptability of the work. In this paper, our focus was to find attractive research areas for a new scholar. The amount of work done in this research area is very limited therefore, there is very little past work done in this field. In order to identify the attractive research fields for new scientists, we use statistical-based approach to find the new emerging fields and top trends in research as well as comparison of our work with other models used in the same field.
