In Instructional story design: Develop stories that train, Greene proves the benefits of using stories in training and demonstrates how to do that successfully. With practical instruction and examples, Instructional story design leads the reader through developing stories, working with subject matter experts (SMEs), and producing story-based training. Greene illustrates his expertise in story design by using story to instruct his design methods throughout the book. The reader follows a fictitious instructional designer, Dayna, as she grapples with, learns to, and triumphs in using stories in her elearning projects. She works with SMEs, clients, stakeholders, and managers and follows instructional design (ID) practices while developing meaningful stories to connect with her learners and convey the training. Through Dayna’s struggles and victories, the reader learns how to create audience personas, build relatable characters, and focus on the action and conflict of the story as it relates to training objectives. Greene further describes how to produce stories using common technology tools, champion stories to convince doubting stakeholders, and overcome common pitfalls.

The Indonesian Ministry of Education pays a lot of attention to education in remote areas. The lack of equal education and the level of access to education are two of the main reasons. In remote areas of Indonesia, there are still very few educational facilities, either in the form of infrastructure or other facilities, one of which is learning resources. Today's learning resources can only be used in well-developed, easy-to-reach cities. They can't be used in less-developed, remote, or remotest areas. Reports and results of observations from some remote areas say that almost all children have used Android, but not to play games as it was meant to be used. It opens up opportunities, especially for making learning tools that can be used anywhere and at any time without a stable internet connection. This means that kids can use them whenever and wherever they want. Therefore, the Exo physics book is designed with this in mind. This study aims to develop a learning resource as a packaged Android application using design thinking and scientific literacy approaches. (1)empathizing, (2) defining, (3) idling, (4) prototyping, and (5) testing comprise the design thinking phase. Five schools in remote parts of Southeast Sulawesi were used to test products with students and teachers as respondents. The result of the development of Learning media is called Exo physic book which is equipped with learning video and game features in addition to materials and questions. The findings of the analysis of teacher and student responses to the Exo physic book strongly support point 4 that it should be used as a resource for learning support. Therefore, Exo physics books can be used as one of the learning resources because the design development pays attention to network access needs so that students can use it anywhere and anytime

Online education (o-education) is gaining significant attention from education providers, students, and policy makers. This research explored students’ behaviours and intentions towards online education. The present research utilised the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a model to investigate these intentions and behaviours. The study incorporated UTAUT predictors along with three additional independent variables. This study adopted a cross-sectional design and used a closed-end questionnaire to collect data from 403 respondents. The data were analysed with SPSS and AMOS by utilising structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. The results of the SEM analysis indicate that perceived value (PV) and convenience (Cnv) have positive influences on behavioural intention (BI), while perceived risk has a negative impact on behavioural intention (BI). Additionally, facilitating conditions (FC) and behavioural intention (BI) are found to positively influence use behavior (UB). The research findings suggest that demographics, including age, education and gender, influence behavioural intention (BI). The findings of the study have theoretical and practical implications, which are elaborated in the last section of this article.

The JL4D focuses on research and case studies oriented to innovation and how does it contribute to development. In the past years, the dominant themes have been OER supporting TEL, the concept of L4D itself, and innovative technology applications to address contextual needs. As Mays (2023) points out “we need to keep thinking about the why (learning for development) and the how (technology-enabled) and keep evaluating what we are achieving (lessons of experience and research) in order to close the feedback loop into improved practice”. Within this framework, a major focus of L4D is the learner , and how learners are innovating and leveraging resources (especially technology-enabled learning resources) for self and community development. The present issue of the Journal is devoted to focusing on learners in ‘learning for development’.
联合联络组的工作重点是以创新为导向的研究和案例研究，以及创新如何促进发展。在过去几年中，主导主题一直是支持 TEL 的开放式教育资源、L4D 概念本身，以及满足背景需求的创新技术应用。正如 Mays（2023 年）所指出的，"我们需要不断思考为什么（学习促进发展）和如何 （技术辅助），并不断评估我们正在取得的成果（经验和研究教训），以便将反馈环路 闭合到改进的实践中"。在这一框架内，学习促进发展的一个主要重点是学习者，以及学习者如何创新和利用资源（特别是技术辅助学习资源）促进自身和社区发展。本期期刊专门关注 "学习促进发展 "中的学习者。

Developing quality learning in inclusive schools is an essential issue for educators. Several aspects that need to be considered to create quality learning in inclusive schools are assessment, lesson planning, good classroom management, learning materials and media development, implementation of accessible education using appropriate technologies and evaluation. These aspects are essential parts that must be appropriately addressed to produce quality learning. This study uses a mixed explanatory sequential design. Quantitative research instruments were used to collect data from 100 teachers on teacher involvement in quality learning in inclusive schools. The results of this study describe the condition of teacher performance in inclusive schools in developing quality learning. Involvement and collaborative efforts between teachers appear below. In this case, knowledge is more of a differentiating factor determining who does what in the learning and design process, while the universal learning rules are still not being fully implemented. This condition may influence the quality of learning for students with disabilities. It is hoped that future research will examine teachers’ attitudes and increase their efforts in developing quality learning for students with disabilities. Moreover, the principles of implementing UDL need to be integrated into the inclusive education curriculum in Indonesia.

This quantitative research analyses the perception of students about the use of flipped classroom and technological tools in the functions unit considering the machine learning algorithms on linear regression, a decision tree and neural networks. This research proposes consulting YouTube videos about functions and use of the Desmos application in the teaching-learning process. The results of the linear regression indicate that the consultation with YouTube videos before the class and use of the Desmos application collaboratively during the class, and individually after the class, positively influence the teaching-learning process on the functions. Likewise, the decision tree identifies three predictive models. The neural network establishes how the activities of this pedagogical model influence the teaching-learning process. The implications of this research suggest that universities update their courses and carry out creative school activities outside and inside the classroom through flipped classroom. Finally, the flipped classroom facilitates the active role of the students during the learning process, promotes the construction of new educational virtual spaces and allows for improving the educational process through the incorporation of technological tools before, after and during face-to-face sessions.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether teachers’ effective communication skills were a mediator in the relationship between interpersonal mindfulness and subjective well-being. 315 teachers participated in this study which was designed as a correlational model. Personal Information Form, Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale-TR (IMS-TR), Effective Communication Skills Scale (ECSS), Positive and Negative Emotion Scale (PANAS), and Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) were used to collect data. To determine the mediating role of effective communication skills in the relationship between interpersonal mindfulness and subjective well-being, Bootstrapping method was applied. The results revealed that indirect effect of interpersonal mindfulness on subjective well-being via effective communication skills was statistically significant. Effective communication skills were a partial mediator in the relationship between interpersonal mindfulness and subjective well-being of teachers. Consequently, interpersonal mindfulness may enhance effective communication skills and owing to this rising subjective well-being may grow stronger.

The e-learning concept is increasingly receiving attention in education but there seems to be inadequate guidance in developing a formal programme for implementing e-learning, especially in the public sector. Hence, this study focuses on aggregating information on the adoption and utilisation of e-learning in the public sector and attempting the development of a conceptual model for understanding workplace e-learning implementation. A systematic search of the literature was conducted to collect all the literature addressing the adoption and utilisation of e-learning in the public sector. This review brought to light key factors that influence the adoption and utilisation of e-learning amongst public sector employees, including attitude, satisfaction, behaviour intention, continuance intention, or behaviour to use e-learning. The adoption and utilisation of e-learning in the public sector requires a carefully thought-through and evidence-based approach, especially the development of the e-learning programme.

This study explored learning which occurred when mature distance education students co-developed an open educational resource (OER) with their lecturers using Smith’s critical reflection as a method to guide reflection on their learning. This study is significant since student learning on the co-development of an open educational resource could not be found in the literature. Within an interpretative paradigm, we used questionnaires with mainly open-ended questions to determine a particular group of students’ learning. Findings indicate learning about themselves, their interactions, and their contexts. The study puts forward specific implications to improve future practices based on the findings. The specific contribution is that students who engage in critical self-reflection change their perspectives, allowing them to self-examine and reflect on future actions. This learning experience assists students, lecturers and institutions of higher education in their approach toward critical reflection and the co-development of OER.
