“…The overview of possible approaches to e-learning adaptivity and language learning has brought us to the conclusion that it is essential to find a solution that (a) adapts the learning content of the course according to student's needs, not only based on initial information about the student but based on his later study results as well, (b) is available for mass distribution using the open-source Moodle platform used in 251 countries with 211,000 installations and more than 250 million users [26], and (c) is simple to design and implement, while still offering the possibility for other parties to modify the proposed solution to meet their needs. In addition, for the solution to reach the masses, it should be versatile, i.e., usable for a large number of educational areas/subjects, not just limited to language area, reading skills, or mathematical operations.…”

The article is devoted to the issue of the construction of an intelligent tutoring system which was created by our university for implementing distance learning and combined forms of studies. Significantly higher demand for such tools occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic when distance learning was used by students in their full-time studies. Current Learning Management Systems (LMS) do not address students' individuality regarding their various levels of input knowledge and skills or their different learning styles, which, in our case, are based on sensory preferences. Therefore, this article proposes a model of an intelligent tutoring system to control learning by accentuating the individual needs of a student. The foundation stones of this system are an expert system and adaptation mechanisms. The expert system acts as a tool for the identification of students’ needs from the point of view of input knowledge and sensory preferences. Sensory preferences influence the student’s learning style. The implemented adaptation mechanisms control the progress of the student through a study unit. The model was implemented in the LMS Moodle environment. Regarding the focus of the research content, our model is oriented on the study of the English language, where each student receives a unique study plan, which is continuously adapted based on achieved results. We consider the focus on the individuality of the student to be an innovative approach that can be achieved automatically on a mass scale.

“…This chapter introduces a VR learning experience evaluation tool highlighting key aspects instructors and educators should consider when designing and implementing VR learning experiences [2]. High fidelity graphics and immersive content using head mounted displays (HMD) have allowed students to explore complex subjects in a way that traditional teaching methods cannot [3][4].…”

The book "New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality: Finding New Ways to Teach in a Transformed Learning Environment" can be used in innovative pedagogy. There is an urgent need to teach and support learning in a transformed learning environment. Learning in a new way is made possible by technological advancements, but they also present educational institutions with new problems. Virtual reality solutions can be exciting, enthralling and accessible, and they can speed up the process of education. As a resource for educators, this book examines the potential of virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality (VR/AR) to enhance learning, and how these technologies can be used in the classroom. As a tool for knowledge construction and the development of metacognitive processes, virtual reality (VR) solutions can be an effective educational tool. As a result, they help broaden the scope of educational opportunities for students from all backgrounds. Academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in educational technology will find this book invaluable.

“…Online learning, i.e. e-learning, has been applied in many higher education institutions around the world for the last 15-20 years (Ibrahim, Leng, Yusoff, Samy, Masrom & Rizman, 2017;Li, Zhan, Liu & Tong, 2022;Gamage, Ayres & Behrend, 2022;Ratna & Mehra, 2015;Cheng, 2012;Drennan, Kennedy & Pisarski, 2005). Elearning differs from the traditional way of learning in that it gives priority to individual learning over group learning, because it encourages students to learn individually at home, rather than in groups and classes (Al-Rahmi et al, 2018).…”

Background: In order to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, a temporary interruption of teaching and educational activities in classrooms occurred. Most schools and faculties were forced to switch from traditional to online teaching. Purpose: This research aims to examine the key factors influencing students' intention to use e-learning, as well as predictors of student satisfaction with online teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic. Study design/methodology/approach: The analysis includes 312 students on the territory of the Republic of Serbia who use e-learning. Reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations modeling are applied in the paper. Findings/conclusions: It is found that course design significantly affects perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and quality of e-learning, and perceived usefulness and quality of e-learning are the main drivers of student satisfaction. Then, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and satisfaction with online teaching are important predictors of the attitude towards the use of e-learning, and attitude is an important driver of the intention to use e-learning. The results of the research and the implications derived from them can be helpful to educational institutions in creating, introducing and implementing e-learning, as well as increasing student satisfaction with online teaching during the pandemic. Limitations/future research: The limitation of the research stems from the selection of the sample (students). In addition, the research was conducted on the territory of Serbia, so the results cannot be generalized. Third, the possible bias of the respondents in giving answers can lead to wrong conclusions. The recommendation for future research is to examine the attitudes of professors who use e-learning, in addition to students. Another recommendation is to do a segment analysis (by gender, year of study) in order to develop specific strategies for each segment. Another suggestion is to compare students' opinions on e-learning and traditional ways of learning.
