Abstract

Online learning, or e-learning, delivers educational content and teaching through various formats, ranging from self-paced courses to synchronous virtual classrooms. Gamification, the incorporation of game-like elements into non-game contexts, enhances engagement through rewards, reputation points, and goal setting. In higher education, researchers seek effective methods to stimulate learning and boost learner engagement. This study employs the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to identify suitable gamification elements for three types of learner interaction, breaking down the decision-making problem into a hierarchy. Through a pairwise comparison matrix, priorities among hierarchy elements are established. The research involves 36 learners from a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) Public University, selecting the top best six gamification mechanics for each construct: virtual goods, wally’s game, rewards, trophies-badges, skill points, and peer grading. The proposed conceptual design will be implemented in online courses to assess learning engagement in cognitive, behavioural, and affective domains in higher education.

Abstract

In today’s changing education world, online language classes are becoming more important. Recognizing the important role of the relationship between language learning strategies and students’ preferences, our empirical study examines the patterns or factors that explain the observed correlations among variables to provide insights in optimizing online language courses. Addressing a critical gap in the existing literature that has traditionally treated language learning strategies and online language education as distinct entities, our survey-based research collected comprehensive data from students enrolled in online language courses. Focused on six key language learning strategies: memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social. The research shows a delicate connection between these strategies and students’ preferences in online teaching mode. The empirical findings provide insights into certain strategies that work better for specific online learning methods. This helps us grasp the varied preferences of groups of students. This research enriches online language education by revealing an unexplored connection between strategies and preferences and provides a valuable resource for educators and course designers. The information given helps make online language classes better. It ensures that students learn languages more effectively online, considering their functional and practical needs in online learning.

Abstract

Micro-credential language courses have gained significant attention in the field of language education due to their potential to offer targeted and flexible learning experiences. However, the successful implementation of these courses relies on understanding the perceptions of language educators and addressing the associated issues and challenges. This study aims to identify language educators’ perceptions of online language learning platforms and micro-credential online language learning platforms and explore the issues and challenges in developing micro-credential language courses. Employing a quantitative approach, data was collected from 30 respondents from language educators at the centre for language learning, in a public university in Malaysia. Through survey questionnaires, quantitative insights into educators’ perceptions and experiences were gathered. The survey questionnaire gathered quantitative data on educators’ perceptions and experiences. This research sheds light on language educators’ perceptions of online language learning platforms and micro-credentials while identifying the challenges inherent in developing such courses. The findings underscore the significance of addressing these challenges to ensure the effective implementation of micro-credential-based language courses within online education contexts.
