Background: Adaptive and personalized learning technologies are on the rise in health education. However, to reach the potential of these technological innovations, novel learning designs are necessary, which take new possibilities and constraints into account.
Aim:In this scoping review we answer the question: What characterizes learning designs where adaptive learning technologies have been blended into nursing education? Methods: Using the terms adaptive learning and nursing education with synonyms in combination, a comprehensive search in five databases were conducted. Initial search identified 340 records. 22 articles were identified as relevant and screened in full text reading and included. Final number of papers included in the review was six.
Conclusion:We conclude that duration, engagement, placement of interaction in time and agency are the most commonly addressed parts of the learning design. We also find that there is a lack of pedagogical justification of the learning designs used.
This literature review seeks to outline the state of the art regarding collaboration between educational institutions on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) launched in Europe and in the US for the past 10 years. The review explores enablers and barriers that influence national institutional MOOC collaboration, and looks into how existing knowledge about institutional collaboration on e-learning can be used in MOOC collaboration. The review is based on a literature search in databases and on snowballing techniques. It concludes that collaboration on MOOCs can be advantageous in terms of ensuring quality and innovation in the common learning designs, and that-in order to succeed-such projects need strategic and institutional support from all partners involved. Moreover, the review points out barriers concerning the reluctance of individual institutions to engage in national collaboration due to fear of potential loss of their own national branding and the teachers' hesitancy or passive resistance to new educational platforms and formats.
Teaching in e-learning settings often involves the dichotomies of time (synchronous/asynchronous) and space (same place/different places), but when e-learning involves a hybrid mix of students on campus and e-learning students on-line -and the teaching is recorded in order to be watched by other students later on -this traditional dichotomy cannot capture the complex and multiplied learning settings. This paper attempts to focus on the change of space and time in e-learning settings the way e-learning students and teachers in a professional bachelor programin physiotherapy describe it, and the purpose is to present a framework for categorizing time and space in elearning settings. Thus, the paper introduces the concept of multi-and mono-locality in order to be able to describe a teaching and learning settings where presence is sometimes felt in more than one place at a time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
