PurposeThe following article examines the playful composing practices of two youth who built on their backgrounds as fan fiction writers, role-players, visual artists and gamers to co-author a multimodal novel across mediated spaces for composing throughout their high school careers.Design/methodology/approachThe study draws on “connected ethnography” and qualitative practitioner inquiry to examine the playful composing practices of two urban youth.FindingsThe study demonstrates the playful, multimodal composing practices of youth – for learning, affiliation and leisure. Participants’ creative use of digital media reveals robust and productive composing practices that rely on collaboration; extensive multimodal experimentation (e.g. transmediation, the creation of paratexts and worldbuilding); and shared and individual expertise and socialization in various media communities (e.g. gaming and fan fiction).Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited by its small scope.Practical implicationsParticipants’ leisure writing activities offer important insights into multimodal play, composing, collaboration and co-authorship.Social implicationsSchools have been slow to take up the multimodal and collaborative approaches to writing. The article offers implications for reimagining writing and the teaching of writing through creativity, play and collaboration.Originality/valueThe author argues that collaborative, multimodal authorship offers a social outlet, peer connection, and creative possibilities for writing development both in face-to-face and fully digital learning environments, something especially important to consider amid the unexpected surge of online learning due to COVID-19.
目的以下文章考察了两位年轻人的有趣创作实践,他们以粉丝小说作家、角色扮演者、视觉艺术家和游戏玩家的背景为基础,在高中生涯中跨媒介创作空间共同创作了一部多模式小说。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用“关联民族志”和定性从业者调查来考察两位城市青年的嬉戏创作实践。发现这项研究展示了年轻人为学习、归属和休闲而进行的有趣、多模式的创作实践。参与者对数字媒体的创造性使用揭示了依赖合作的稳健和富有成效的创作实践;广泛的多模式实验(例如跨媒体、副文本的创建和世界构建);以及在各种媒体社区(如游戏和粉丝小说)中共享和个人的专业知识和社会化。研究局限性/含义该研究范围较小。实践含义参与者的休闲写作活动为多模式游戏、写作、合作和共同创作提供了重要的见解。社会含义学校在采用多模式和合作写作方法方面进展缓慢。这篇文章为重新构想写作以及通过创造力、游戏和协作进行写作教学提供了启示。原创/价值作者认为,合作、多模式创作为面对面和完全数字化的学习环境中的写作发展提供了社交渠道、同伴联系和创造性的可能性,在新冠肺炎导致的在线学习意外激增之际,这一点尤为重要。

PurposeThe study aimed to explore and understand the perceptions of students, teachers and management about the distance learning and student learning at University of Hail (UOH) amid the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify whether student learning needs are being addressed in (UOH). This is facilitated through the use of interaction of distance learner with their peer groups, faculty members and assistants using different modes of interactions such as computers, internets such as chats and yahoo groups and mobile phones. These features of UOH approach toward learning are among the constructivist approach.Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research methodology was used to attain the objectives of this study. Looking into the nature, aim and objectives of the research study, semi-structured interviews were suitable and case studies, in total 11 interviews were conducted; five interviews were conducted from the students, three from the faculty members and three from the university administration. An interview guide was developed to conduct the interviews on the basis of themes such as training and development, performance management and firm performance. The data analysis suggests that UOH adopts quite a lot of main features of social constructivist approach of learning and teaching. This study finds that UOH adopts student-centered approach and provides the students opportunities to learn from real-life scenarios through case studies and projects.FindingsThis study has certain important theoretical contributions and implications for policy makers and managers; this study contributes to the distance learning education literature by exploring and understanding the perceptions of students, faculty members and management about the learning at UOH. The results of this study may be used by teachers and other instructional designers to improve materials for emergency distance learning.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contains certain limitations. One key limitation is the limited number of interviews originating from lack of time and problems in accessing the university. Hence, more interviews would have provided a more detailed picture of the learning at UOH. Another limitation is the context based nature of this study, not allowing generalization of the results. Nevertheless, generalizations were not amongst the purposes of this study and hence were never intended. Due to this limitation findings can be argued as applicable and meaningful to a certain degree as determined by other researchers and practitioners.Originality/valueThis research also focuses on the social constructivist approach to distance learning by examining and analyzing how learning at UOH appears to align with the constructivist approach's learning values.
目的本研究旨在探索和了解新冠肺炎大流行期间学生、教师和管理层对海尔大学(UOH)远程学习和学生学习的看法,以确定学生的学习需求是否在UOH得到解决。这是通过远程学习者与同伴群体、教员和助手的互动来实现的,他们使用不同的互动模式,如电脑、聊天、雅虎群组和手机等互联网。UOH学习方法的这些特点属于建构主义方法。设计/方法/方法采用定性研究方法来实现本研究的目标。考虑到研究的性质、目的和目的,采用了半结构化访谈和案例研究,共进行了11次访谈;对学生进行了5次访谈,对教职员工进行了3次访谈,并对大学管理部门进行了3次访谈。制定了面试指南,根据培训与发展、绩效管理和公司绩效等主题进行面试。数据分析表明,UOH采用了相当多的社会建构主义学习和教学方法的主要特征。本研究发现,UOH采用了以学生为中心的方法,并通过案例研究和项目为学生提供了从现实场景中学习的机会。本研究对决策者和管理者具有一定的重要理论贡献和启示;本研究通过探索和理解学生、教职员工和管理层对UOH学习的看法,为远程学习教育文献做出了贡献。这项研究的结果可供教师和其他教学设计者用来改进紧急远程学习的材料。研究局限性/含义本研究包含某些局限性。一个关键的限制是面试次数有限,原因是时间不足和进入大学的问题。因此,更多的访谈本可以更详细地了解UOH的学习情况。另一个限制是本研究基于上下文的性质,不允许对结果进行概括。尽管如此,概括并不在本研究的目的之列,因此也并非有意。由于这一限制,其他研究人员和从业者可以在一定程度上认为这些发现是适用的和有意义的。独创性/价值本研究还通过检查和分析UOH的学习如何与建构主义方法的学习价值观相一致,重点关注远程学习的社会建构主义方法。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the sustainability of the proposed mobile learning framework for higher education. Most sustainability evaluation studies use quantitative and qualitative methods with statistical approaches. Sometimes, in previous studies, machine learning models were utilized conventionally.Design/methodology/approachIn the proposed method, the authors use a novel machine learning-based ensemble approach with severity indexes to evaluate the sustainability of the proposed mobile learning system. In this severity indexes, consider the cause-and-effect relationship to identify the hidden correlation among sustainability factors. Also, the proposed novel sustainability evaluation algorithm helps to evaluate and improve sustainability iteratively to have an optimal sustainable mobile learning system. In total, 150 learners and 150 teachers in the university community engaged in the study by taking the sustainability questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 20 questions that represent 20 sustainable factors in five sustainability dimensions, i.e. economic, social, political, technological and pedagogical.FindingsThe results reveal that the proposed system has achieved its economic and pedagogical sustainability. However, the results further reveal that the proposed system needs to be improved on technological, social and political sustainability.Originality/valueThe study focused novel machine learning approach and technique for evaluating sustainability of the proposed mobile learning framework.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to measure the readiness of science and mathematics supervisors to utilize technology and online learning platforms for teachers' plans and professional development, during and after the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve this aim, the researchers developed a questionnaire comprising of 55 items based on the instruments used in pertinent studies. A mixed-methods research design was employed, whereby a quantitative online survey was supplemented by focus group discussions with selected supervisors. Survey data were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and t-test, while information obtained via focus groups was coded to identify common themes related to the obstacles and challenges supervisors face.FindingsWhen completing the survey, the supervisors approached proficiency using technology; however, focus group discussions revealed misconceptions related to e-leaning and limitations in their abilities to use technology in schools, as well as obstacles imposed by the structure and management of the educational system. TPractical implicationsThese findings indicate that supervisors need support in acquiring the competencies required for integrating technology in education, and that their support to teacher community needs to be grounded in clear and systematic approaches and best educational practices.Originality/valueThese findings indicate that supervisors need support in acquiring the competencies required for integrating technology in education, and that their support to teacher community needs to be grounded in clear and systematic approaches and best educational practices.

PurposeThis study identified salient challenges related to future preference for e-learning of undergraduates during closure of institutions of higher learning due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and put forth suggestions to overcome challenges of e-learning for present and future crises.Design/methodology/approachUndergraduates were drawn from two universities in Malaysia who normally attend conventional classroom learning. Underpinned by the literature, the challenges and future preference for e-learning were operationalised into statements. Data were collected via a self-administered questionnaire hosted on Google Forms and were analysed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and STATA statistical software.FindingsThe hierarchical multiple linear regression results showed that the salient challenges related to undergraduates' future preference for e-learning, in descending order, were learning outcomes, followed by disadvantages (negatively) and discipline. Moreover, there were nuanced gender differences on the relative importance of salient challenges related to future preference for e-learning.Research limitations/implicationsBecause the literature on e-learning during the closure of institutions of learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic is evolving, some salient challenges may not be captured in this study. Next, this survey was carried out in July 2020 when all courses were conducted using one hundred per cent e-learning for the first time. Hence, future replication studies may produce different results. Lastly, findings are not generalisable to other contexts as the salient challenges may be unique to the Malaysian context.Practical implicationsConcerted efforts by all stakeholders to address these salient challenges will shift e-learning in higher education closer to a panacea during present and future crises.Originality/valueThe sudden and involuntary switch from face-to-face learning to e-learning during the closure of institutions of higher learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic provided opportunity to research the salient challenges encountered by undergraduates and to overcome these salient challenges.
目的本研究旨在识别受2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)影响的高校关闭期间大学生电子学习偏好的突出挑战,并针对当前和未来危机提出克服电子学习挑战的建议。设计/方法/方法本科生来自马来西亚的两所大学,他们通常参加传统的课堂学习。在文献的支持下,电子学习的挑战和未来偏好被操作化为陈述。数据通过谷歌表格上的自我管理问卷收集,并使用社会科学统计软件包和STATA统计软件进行分析。发现层次多元线性回归结果显示,影响大学生未来网络学习偏好的显著挑战依次为学习成果、劣势(消极)和纪律。此外,在与未来电子学习偏好相关的突出挑战的相对重要性上,存在细微的性别差异。研究局限性/意义由于关于因COVID-19大流行而关闭学习机构期间电子学习的文献正在不断发展,因此本研究可能没有涵盖一些突出的挑战。接下来,这项调查是在2020年7月进行的,当时所有课程首次100%使用电子学习进行。因此,未来的重复研究可能会产生不同的结果。最后,调查结果不能推广到其他情况,因为突出的挑战可能是马来西亚特有的。通过所有利益相关者的共同努力,解决这些突出的挑战,将使高等教育中的电子学习更接近于应对当前和未来危机的灵丹妙药。由于新冠肺炎疫情,高等院校关闭期间,从面对面学习突然无意识地转向电子学习,为研究本科生面临的突出挑战并克服这些突出挑战提供了机会。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to reveal both the adaptations of information computer technology (ICT) teachers teaching the information technologies and software (ITS) course online during the pandemic and the factors that affect this adaptation process. Teachers’ endeavours to conduct their courses online, the support they take during their endeavours, and their relationships with such basic components as the environment, content and students during this adaptation process will be revealed within the framework of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT).Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a sequential transformative mixed model was used in which firstly quantitative and then qualitative data were collected and analysed. The sample of this study consists of 307 ICT teachers employed and serving at public and private school in 2020–21. A proper sampling technique is used in the study. In this study, a sequential transformative mixed model was used in which firstly quantitative and then qualitative data were collected and analysed ( Creswell, 2009). The sample of this study consists of 307 ICT teachers employed and serving at public and private school in 2020–21. A proper sampling technique is used in the study.FindingsThe ICT teachers’ adaptations to the online courses have developed positively over the sub-dimensions of UTAUT, which are performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SE), facilitating conditions (FC) and behavioural intention (BI). The ICT teachers’ adaptations to the online instruction process have a significant effect on PE, FC and BI on the basis of gender, and on PE and EE on the basis of course content quality. In the process whereby the ICT teachers carry out the ITS course online, the sub-dimensions of PE, SE and FC are significantly predictive of the BI.Research limitations/implicationsUTAUT has been taken as a guiding framework in explaining and discussing the adaptations. Similarly, in other studies focussing on adaptation, this model could be employed in planning the research process. In addition, this study has followed a method in which qualitative data are mostly used to explain the quantitative data. Further studies may adopt a process whereby qualitative data are largely used to describe the way ITS course is conducted in online environments and this process may be used to develop a model.Practical implicationsExamining the students’ BIs in online courses overlaps with the sub-dimension of PE in this study, which stresses that PE, EE and motivation are significantly and directly effective on the students’ intentions of using the online courses, while there is a difference between these two studies in terms of the dimension of EE. The factors such learning outcome, curriculum, attendance to the course, use of materials and tools, interaction and technological substructure appear to be affected by this dimension, so they could be taken as important in that they re
目的本研究的目的是揭示信息计算机技术(ICT)教师在疫情期间在线教授信息技术和软件(ITS)课程的适应情况,以及影响这种适应过程的因素。教师在网上进行课程的努力,他们在努力过程中获得的支持,以及他们在适应过程中与环境、内容和学生等基本组成部分的关系,将在接受和使用技术的统一理论(UTAUT)的框架内揭示。设计/方法论/方法在本研究中,采用顺序转换混合模型,首先对定量数据,然后对定性数据进行收集和分析。本研究的样本包括2020-2021年在公立和私立学校就业和服务的307名信息和通信技术教师。研究中使用了适当的采样技术。在这项研究中,使用了一个顺序转换混合模型,其中首先收集和分析定量数据,然后分析定性数据(Creswell,2009)。本研究的样本包括2020-2021年在公立和私立学校就业和服务的307名信息和通信技术教师。研究中使用了适当的采样技术。调查结果ICT教师对在线课程的适应在UTAUT的子维度上得到了积极发展,这些子维度是表现预期(PE)、努力预期(EE)、社会影响(SE)、便利条件(FC)和行为意图(BI)。ICT教师对在线教学过程的适应对基于性别的体育、FC和BI以及基于课程内容质量的体育和EE产生了显著影响。在ICT教师在线开展ITS课程的过程中,PE、SE和FC的子维度对BI具有显著的预测作用。研究局限性/含义UTAUT已被用作解释和讨论适应性的指导框架。同样,在其他侧重于适应的研究中,该模型可用于规划研究过程。此外,本研究采用了一种方法,其中定性数据大多用于解释定量数据。进一步的研究可以采用一个过程,即定性数据主要用于描述在线环境中ITS课程的实施方式,该过程可以用于开发模型。实践含义在本研究中,考察学生在网络课程中的BI与体育的子维度重叠,强调体育、EE和动机对学生使用网络课程的意图有显著而直接的影响,而这两项研究在EE维度上存在差异,出席课程、材料和工具的使用、互动和技术底层结构似乎都受到这一维度的影响,因此它们可以被视为重要的,因为它们揭示了研究的重要性。原创性/价值本研究可能为在线教学实践提供线索,揭示教师对中学在线学习环境的适应。另一方面,软件、硬件、编码和机器人课程涉及产品设计、开发和编程等科目,这些科目属于中学ITS课程的内容。尽管有为这些科目准备的课程,但在这些科目的教学中可以使用许多不同的教学技巧。这可以允许对适合相关科目的在线教学的环境和方法进行一些推断。

Since the inception of Covid-19 in China, the economies around the world have been on the turmoil. This is because China has a direct correlation with most economies in the world; they depend on it directly or indirectly. On 13th March, 2020 the first case of COVID-19 in Kenya a 27-year-old Kenyan woman who traveled from the US via London, was confirmed. The Kenyan government identified and isolated a number of people who had come into contact with the first case. On 15 March 2020, the president of Kenya directed that a number of measures be taken to curb COVID-19, some of those measures included; dusk to dawn curfew, secession of movement and mandatory quarantine of suspected cases. Based on the available literature, probabilistic predictions using steady state Markov chain allow to assess the uncertainty of the COVID-19 comprehensively. Therefore they are preferable to forecasts for the mean or median COVID-19 only. The probabilistic COVID-19 predictions allow to derive probabilistic forecasts for the number of patients who are still at the ICU at a certain day in future. This may be useful for planning purposes. From the probabilities for single patients, one may compute the probability that any given number of patients is still at the ICU after t days. However, in Kenya there is scanty information on analysis of COVID-19 using steady state Markov Chain. The aim of this study was therefore be to carry out probabilistic analysis of COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya using Markov chain. The study was a literature based, in which the researcher reviewed surveys books, scholarly journals, and other secondary sources relevant to the current study topic. The findings revealed that one of the most important uses of steady state Markov chain in analyzing COVID-19 pandemic situation in Kenya is that it compares performances for different states of affairs and courses of action within the health sector, by using system steady state performance measurements. The study concludes that steady state Markov chain is beneficial in simulating the corona infection in numerous stages. It is thus recommended that there is need for policy-makers to seek regional and global solutions to COVID-19 disease instead of limited solutions within the country.

中国新冠肺炎疫情发生以来,世界经济一直处于动荡之中。这是因为中国与世界上大多数经济体都有直接的联系;他们直接或间接地依赖于它。2020年3月13日,肯尼亚首例COVID-19病例得到确认,这是一名27岁的肯尼亚妇女,她从美国经伦敦旅行。肯尼亚政府确认并隔离了与首例病例有过接触的一些人。2020年3月15日,肯尼亚总统指示采取一系列措施遏制COVID-19,其中一些措施包括:从黄昏到黎明实行宵禁,隔离行动和强制隔离疑似病例。基于现有文献,利用稳态马尔可夫链进行概率预测可以全面评估新冠肺炎的不确定性。因此,它们比仅对COVID-19的平均值或中位数进行预测更可取。COVID-19概率预测可以对未来某一天仍在ICU的患者人数进行概率预测。这对于规划目的可能是有用的。根据单个患者的概率,可以计算任意给定数量的患者在t天后仍在ICU的概率。然而,在肯尼亚,使用稳态马尔可夫链分析COVID-19的信息很少。因此,本研究的目的是利用马尔可夫链对肯尼亚COVID-19大流行进行概率分析。这项研究是以文献为基础的,研究人员回顾了调查书籍、学术期刊和其他与当前研究主题相关的二手资料。研究结果表明,稳态马尔可夫链在分析肯尼亚COVID-19大流行情况时最重要的用途之一是,它通过使用系统稳态绩效测量来比较卫生部门不同事务状态和行动方案的绩效。研究表明,稳态马尔可夫链有利于模拟冠状病毒感染的多个阶段。因此,建议决策者有必要寻求应对COVID-19疾病的区域和全球解决方案,而不是在国内寻求有限的解决方案。关键词:稳态,马尔可夫链,COVID-19大流行,过渡矩阵

PurposeThe purpose of this study is two-fold. First, to identify and encapsulate the enablers that can facilitate technology integration in higher education and second, to understand and analyze the interplay between technology agility enablers.Design/methodology/approachThe study used the Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (TISM) approach to construct a theoretical model of the technology agility enablers in higher education and MICMAC analysis for ranking and segregating the enablers based on their dependence power into four categories: Autonomous, Dependent, Linkage and Independent.FindingsThe study helped identify eight technology agility enablers, with the Covid-19 pandemic as the most significant enabler. The Covid-19 pandemic has catalyzed the diffusion of technology across the education sector in India, including tertiary higher education. The study revealed government initiatives and institutional commitment as other enablers that can promote technology agility in higher education.Practical implicationsThe results of this study would assist the policymakers and management of universities and colleges in understanding the important enablers that can facilitate technology integration in higher education.Originality/valueResearch in the past on technology adoption in higher education has looked into each enabler in isolation. This research provides a comprehensive view of the enablers and has attempted to establish a multidirectional interplay between the enablers.
本研究的目的是双重的。首先,确定和封装可以促进高等教育中的技术集成的使能因素;其次,理解和分析技术敏捷性使能因素之间的相互作用。本研究采用总体解释结构建模(Total Interpretive Structural Modeling,简称TISM)方法,构建了高等教育技术敏捷性驱动因素的理论模型,并运用MICMAC分析方法,根据驱动因素的依赖程度,将驱动因素分为自主、依赖、联动和独立四类。该研究帮助确定了八个技术敏捷性推动因素,其中Covid-19大流行是最重要的推动因素。2019冠状病毒病大流行促进了技术在印度教育部门的传播,包括高等教育。该研究显示,政府举措和机构承诺是促进高等教育技术敏捷性的其他推动因素。实践意义本研究的结果将有助于高校决策者和管理者了解促进高等教育技术整合的重要因素。原创性/价值过去关于高等教育中技术采用的研究都是孤立地研究每一个促成因素。本研究提供了一个全面的观点,使能者,并试图建立一个多向的相互作用,使能者之间。
