To explore whether embedding a mind map can better support learning in 360 videos, this paper takes 46 college students as the research object. It conducts a single-factor random experiment of "embedding no mind map, embedding concise mind map and embedding detailed mind map in 360 video resources". The results show that embedding a mind map has no significant effect on the primary eye movement behavior, and embedding a concise mind map in 360 videos can promote learners' memory of knowledge. However, at the same time, it will increase cognitive load. The conclusion of this paper can provide a reference for the development of 360 video teaching resources.

The aim of this paper is to obtain students' review on the possible difficulties and workload when mastering the prescribed learning outcomes in object-oriented programming courses based on the JAVA™ programming language. The results of this measurement provide a basis for a possible revision of scheduled hourly rate and consequently ECTS points required for students to achieve the prescribed learning outcomes regarding ESG 2015 guidelines for QA. Perennial experience in teaching indicate that object-oriented programming courses are one of the most demanding in mastering the subject material at the undergraduate level (6 EQF), which is why authors have conducted a survey as part of the JAVA™ course before the final exam at 4 different higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia. On a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being the highest), students have assessed the difficulty in achieving each learning outcome and also the subjects/topics taught in the course. The results of the survey were compared with the passing results in the summer exams period (academic year 2021/2022 as an additional variable test of the obtained answers). The authors present the summary of their results and provide the conclusion in the context of the subject and course revision regarding curriculum and subject oriented student workload.

Digitalization is relevant to all industries, and there are good reasons for it in education. While it is relatively easy to acquire a new information system, beneficial implementation and sustainable process improvements are more difficult to achieve. Here, we investigate how a digitalized thesis management process and a supporting information system have been adapted in a university and evaluate the success of the adaptation. The evaluation is based on data from a survey of thesis supervisors. The results show a high level of adaptation, indicating a good level of perceived usefulness, as well as a good level of perceived visual clarity and usability, indicating ease of use for the new information system. Also, the adaptation can be seen as successful, and the results provide confidence in the sustainability of the digitalized thesis management process. Based on this, we see usefulness and ease of use for this feasible approach to evaluating success in digitalization.

There has been a shift from a few pioneering institutions to a far larger number of conventional universities in a wider range of countries engaged in designing online education. In light of the fact that online education is a phenomenon that occurs on a global scale, it is necessary for us to investigate the manner in which these practices were carried out by adopting an international and systematic point of view. This study uses complex network analytics to map out the worldwide landscape of massive open online courses (MOOCs) from a disciplinary and regional viewpoint, drawing reference from the product space and comparative advantage theories from the field of development economics. The study found that the course space of global MOOCs presents diversity and cooperation. Ultimately, the courses provided by universities and colleges are consistent with the proximity principle and are fairly comparable to the University's comparative advantage disciplines. There is a positive correlation between a region's level of economic development and the rate at which MOOCs are being offered. Strong advantages persist for North America and Western Europe. Differences in the level of development of MOOCs between nations are most pronounced in computer science and other cutting-edge disciplines. When it comes to the overall strategy for implementing MOOCs, different nations are moving at varying rates of speed. It has been found that the way subjects are spread out and how close they are to each other in the course space can make it harder to upgrade the MOOC curriculum.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and compulsory social distancing, researchers in educational fields started to investigate alternatives to face-to-face (F2F) training methods with greater focus, such as video conferencing (VC) and virtual reality (VR) applications. This study investigated the differences between VC, VR and F2F training conditions by evaluating the level of body ownership and agency perceived by trainees. An electrical circuit repair task and multiple surveys were used to gather data from 106 participants in the form of four dependent variables: a circuit knowledge test, task completion rate, number of the subtasks completed by failing participants, and test phase duration. The study included two visits by each participant to measure knowledge retention while there were no training and surveys in Visit 2. Results showed significantly higher circuit learning and knowledge retention scores in F2F and VR conditions than in VC. Also, regarding the retention of knowledge, participants had significantly better knowledge retention in Visit 1 than Visit 2. The authors hope the results of this study enable training developers to enhance the learning process in computer mediated communications.

In this paper, we investigate user terminal (UT) fingerprint positioning for multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems in non-line-of-sight scenario. We first introduce a refined double beam-based channel model to the positioning problem and extract a energy coupling matrix in the refined beam domain as location-related fingerprint. By taking advantage of refined spatial and frequency beams, the new fingerprint (i.e., energy coupling matrix), contains plentiful and stationary multi-path information, such as power, angle of arrival (AoA), and delay of arrival (DoA), which are favorable to positioning. We then propose a novel deep learning-based fingerprint positioning method to locate the 2-dimension (2D) position of UTs, utilizing multi-BS fingerprint as the input. In particular, we propose a new deep neural network (DNN) architecture in this paper. The DNN first introduce a new network architecture to the fingerprint positioning problem, Transformer, based solely on self-attention mechanisms to sequences of fingerprint patches directly. And it can perform outstandingly on the 2D position coordinates regression. Simulation results show that the proposed positioning method can outperform the existing methods in terms of positioning error.

Since users tap several times to reach their targets on mobile applications, the user interface design tool provides a navigation controller to help them to navigate the content on mobile applications. This paper proposed an alternative quantitative metric to evaluate the navigation controller on mobile applications. It is a tapping effort. This metric considers the number of taps and the tapping position on a mobile screen. Experimenting with the Online Lesson Mobile Application, this quantitative evaluation provides valuable information for user interface designers to create proper navigation on mobile applications.

With the rapid development of science and technology over the world, programming education has shown as a trend in decades. Programming courses have been offered in primary education to promote students’ computational thinking skills. However, teaching and learning programming in primary schools involve different knowledge including complex mathematical concepts and programming syntax. Also, traditional teaching methods may not effectively cater for students’ individual needs and learning trajectories. Thus, learning difficulties are common among students. Teachers keep examining innovation on programming education to improve their teaching. This study investigated used a pretest-posttest method with two groups of grade five students in Macao, to compare the influence of two pedagogical strategies, flipped classroom and traditional teaching, in students’ learning achievements. The major findings of the study showed that the experimental group in flipped classroom had significantly higher learning achievements than the control group in the programming course. Moreover, the students in the flipped classroom showed a significant effective mastery of more complex programming concepts, such as conditions and loops.
