Conventional nursing courses have solely adopted lecture-based instruction for knowledge delivery, which tends to lack interaction, rehearsal, and personalized feedback. The development of chatbot ...technologies and their broad application have provided an opportunity to solve the abovementioned problems. Some knowledge-based chatbot systems have been developed; however, it is still a challenging issue for researchers to determine exactly how to effectively apply these chatbot technologies in nursing training courses. Intending to explore the application mode of chatbot technologies and their effectiveness in nursing education, this study integrated a knowledge-based chatbot system into the teaching activities of a physical examination course, using smartphones as the learning devices, and guiding students to practice their anatomy knowledge in addition to analyzing their learning efficacy and pleasure. A quasi-experiment was conducted by recruiting two classes of university students with nursing majors. One class was the experimental group learning with the knowledge-based chatbot system, while the other class was the control group learning with the traditional instruction. Based on the experimental results, the knowledge-based chatbot system effectively enhanced students' academic performance, critical thinking, and learning satisfaction. The results indicate that the application of chatbots has great potential in nursing education.
The advantages of mobile learning and the possibility of universal access to educational materials have a downside in the form of a possible lack of communication between the student, his/her ...teachers, and course mates. In this context, collaborative teaching methods can be applied to support learners in solving educational challenges. The objective of this work was to analyze the effectiveness of collaborative approaches in mobile learning. The research methods included two stages: an experiment on the introduction of collaborative mobile learning into the educational process and an online sociological survey. The use of the questionnaire method resulted from the need to collect quantitative data and analyze the effectiveness of training by determining the shares of respondents with positive and negative opinions toward m-learning. The examination was conducted in 2020 among 190 undergraduate sociology students studying at three universities of the Russian Federation (Moscow State Pedagogical University, M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, and Tyumen State University), as well as among 76 undergraduate students of the direction "Education" studying at Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. The main practical result of this experiment was the introduction of mobile technologies in the previously used e-learning models and learning management systems of the considered educational institutions. The collaborative mobile environment was based on the principles of communication and cooperation of users, mutual learning, and teacher coordination of students' actions. The study confirmed that collaborative mobile learning could be flexibly transited from blended to distance learning models and vice versa. The analysis of the survey outcomes proved the validity of eight proposed hypotheses, both in terms of mobile learning impact on the quality of education and the influence of the collaborative environment on the development of students' competencies. The practical significance of research findings is in the fact that they allow the effective implementation of collaborative mobile learning technologies to form students' professional competencies.
El objetivo de esta investigación fue fortalecer el diseño de estrategias del aprendizaje móvil en la Universidad de La Sabana (Colombia) a través de un proceso de formación docente. Se utilizó un ...estudio de corte cualitativo con alcance descriptivo. La muestra estuvo conformada por la totalidad de los docentes que finalizaron el proceso de formación en cada una de las cohortes (n1=12 y n2=7). Los resultados indicaron que en la fase presencial se deben agregar ejemplos más específicos para cada disciplina y que en la fase virtual se debe ajustar la duración, pues los profesores suelen asumir nuevas responsabilidades, lo que los lleva a abandonar el proceso. Se concluye que se pueden fortalecer las estrategias de aprendizaje móvil, ya que cada uno de los docentes reconoció lo que implica el aprendizaje móvil y como integrar la estrategia de aprendizaje diseñada durante el proceso de formación.

The examination involved 71 undergraduate journalism students of two Russian and two Kazakhstan universities. Innovative teaching strategies were introduced in the training process of mentioned institutions, and the corresponding methods of conducting specialized classes were developed. The experimental data confirmed several hypotheses related to the effectiveness of blogging in journalism education. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the fact that the proposed approach allows the effective implementation of blogs in journalism training.
Owing to the advancement of mobile and wireless communication technologies, an increasing number of mobile learning studies have been conducted in recent years. In a mobile learning environment, ...students are able to learn indoors and outdoors with access to online resources at any time. However, whether or not new learning scenarios that combine both real-world contexts and digital-world resources are beneficial to the students has been questioned. Moreover, it is also interesting to probe whether the existing e-learning strategies are effective when situated in those mobile learning scenarios. In this study, an in-field activity on an indigenous culture course of an elementary school with a formative assessment-based learning strategy was conducted to investigate the possible negative effects of mobile learning by analyzing the students' cognitive load and learning achievement. It is interesting to find that, without proper treatment, the performance of students using those existing online learning strategies, known to be “effective,” might be disappointing or may even negatively affect the students' learning achievements. Furthermore, the negative effects could be due to the heavy cognitive load caused by an improper learning design. Such findings offer good references for those who intend to design and conduct mobile learning activities.
In Web 3.0, semantic data gives machines the ability to understand and process data. Resource Description Framework (RDF) is the liagna franca of Semantic Web. While Big Data handles the problematic ...of storing and processing massive data, it still does not provide a support for RDF data. In this paper, we present a new Big Data semantic web comprised of a classical Big Data system with a semantic layer. As a proof of concept of our approach, we use Mobile-learning as a case study. The architecture we propose is composed of two main parts: a knowledge server and an adaptation model. The knowledge server allows trainers and business experts to represent their expertise using business rules and ontology to ensure heterogeneous knowledge. Then, in a mobility environment, the knowledge server makes it possible to take into account the constraints of the environment and the user constraints thanks to the RDF exchange format. The adaptation model based on RDF graphs corresponds to combinatorial optimization algorithms, whose objective is to propose to the learner a relevant combination of Learning Object based on its contextual constraints. Our solution guarantees scalability, and high data availability through the use of the principle of replication. The results obtained in the system evaluation experiments, on a large number of servers show the efficiency, scalability, and robustness of our system if the amount of data processed is very large.
Recent studies indicate that academic performance is a complex phenomenon that can be influenced by various factors. Previous studies have also demonstrated a positive and significant relationship ...between academic performance, academic self-efficacy, and readiness to take advantage of mobile learning tools. The mediating role of mobile learning readiness in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic performance has received scant attention from researchers. The current study has investigated the potential relationship between academic self-efficacy, mobile learning readiness, and academic performance. The study sample comprises 326 students from ... University. Data were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling employing AMOS software. Results demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between mobile learning readiness and students' academic performance. Furthermore, the findings revealed that increased academic self-efficacy was not significantly associated with improved academic performance. Eventually, mobile learning readiness positively mediated the relationship between academic self-efficacy and the students' academic performance. Considering the key findings of the present study, we suggest implications for developing students' mobile learning readiness in the mobile learning context.
With the rapid evolution of mobile technology, the adoption of mobile learning in education has also increased. Several studies have conducted various systematic literature reviews to discuss mobile ...learning from different perspectives, such as its advantages and limitations. However, limited attention has been paid to pedagogy in mobile learning. To address this gap, this study conducts a systematic review of 165 empirical studies on mobile learning to investigate the changing landscape of mobile learning pedagogy. The findings reveal that, despite the ubiquity and flexibility of mobile technologies, most mobile learning studies were conducted in formal settings. The findings also reveal that game-based learning and collaborative learning were the most frequently used pedagogical approaches. Furthermore, redefinition is the most frequently used pedagogical functionality of technology in mobile learning, based on the Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition (SAMR) model. The findings of this systematic literature review could be beneficial to both researchers and practitioners in highlighting how mobile learning is designed and implemented, and what gaps should be focused on to enhance pedagogical experiences on mobile devices and thus achieve better mobile learning outcomes.
