Computer programming course that utilizes languages such as C/C++ is always packed with dreary syntax details that consume most of the students’ learning time to obtain ‘grammatically’ correct source code. Consequently, it is difficult for most of the students to apply the theory they have learned in a real life context. Thus, this project proposed…

The present work describes the first serious game designed to reduce the stigma among students towards mental health problems. The game is called Stigma-Stop, and it features characters who suffer from various mental disorders. Players are provided with information about different mental illnesses, and they are presented with several options on how to act when…

It begins with a foundational overview of AI evolution, emphasizing how generative models such as GANs, VAEs, and Transformers have revolutionized language processing, image generation, and drug discovery. Prompt engineering is highlighted as a key methodology…

The rapid expansion of digital universities across Africa addresses the need for scalable higher education solutions, but challenges such as limited physical infrastructure and high dropout rates persist. In digital learning environments, effective interaction with educational content is crucial for student success. This article explores the transformative role of chatbots integrated into digital university platforms,…

This study proposes the Value Karuta (VK), an application of the traditional Japanese card game karuta. Its goal is to contribute to the understanding of value, which is the first principle of lean management. After stating the problems of lean management and the specifications of VK, this paper confirms the validity of the proposal by…

In recent years, the utilization of tangible educational materials has attracted attention on educational settings. They provide hands-on learning experiences for beginners. This trend is especially notable in the field of programming education. Such educational materials are employed in many institutions worldwide. They liberate learners of programming from programming languages that are confined in a…

Augmented reality (AR) technology has been increasingly used in developing teaching materials with the aim of sparking more interest in technology (T) and engineering (E) among students in STEM education. In the proposed system, AR is integrated with an educational robot controlled by a KidBright microcontroller board, developed by the Educational Technology research team (EDT)…

The Mind Monitoring System (MIMOSYS) is a novel voice analysis technique for mental health assessment that has been validated in some languages; however, no research has been conducted on the Vietnamese yet. This study aimed to examine the ability of the Vitality score extracted from the MIMOSYS system to assess depression status based on the…

In a challenging and increasingly technological world, it is important to promote critical thinking, multidisciplinary problem solving, and collaboration through STEAM education; however, there are important economic, administrative, and especially pedagogical manage- ment limitations for its implementation at the secondary level. Therefore, this paper presents systematic recommendations for an effective and sustainable implementation of STEAM…

In this article, we propose a new tutoring strategy to combat school dropout in Morocco. This strategy is based on a collaborative approach involving educational administration and teachers at the national level to ensure equity and equal opportunities for all Moroccan students, on the one hand, and the quality of the training, on the other.…

Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors are commonly taught in courses for electrical engineers as they are the most common components within integrated circuits. However, despite numerous papers and books on MOSFETs, students still struggle with understanding their behaviour, particularly in the saturation region. This paper presents an expanded explanation of MOSFET behaviour, with a consistent…

Like many STEM research projects, the members of the National Science Foundation-funded STEM SEALS project dramatically shifted from in-person delivery of a summer institute to distance-learning with minimal time for preparation. However, the daunting challenge also offered the unique opportunity to apply Design-based Research within an exploratory study to inform and document the progression and…

In conjunction with psychological stress, physiological indicators such as heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are frequently employed. This study uses a substitute for heart rate variability (HRV) known as short-term pulse rate variability (PRV) to evaluate emotional changes. We examined sixteen college students using a low-cost photoplethysmograph and obtained a short-term PRV…

The present work shows the development of a data collection platform that allows the researcher to collect new video and voice data sets in Spanish. It also allows the application of a standardized personality test and stores this information to analyze the effectiveness of the automatic personality recognizers concerning the results of a standardized personality…

Different colleges and universities have different approaches to dealing with low-performance learners. However, in most cases, analgesics do not deal with root problems. This research suggests a model of three layers of variables sequentially adaptable to a deep-root issue. The suggested model can identify early pupils who could be at risk because of inaccurate or…

This paper presents the results of a documentary research on the use of information technology in emergency remote teaching in 66 higher educational institutions in Brazil. The theoretical background of this study is based on the works of Feenberg, Bagglaey, Veloso & Mill, Castañeda & Selwyn and Hodges. The methodological approach consisted of analyzing reports…
