“…Therefore, a higher number of participants do not seem to increase the game performance. However, Lee and Yang [26] point out that collaborative learning assists students' shared knowledge construction. In addition, in this activity, the option of having students playing in groups has the advantage of supporting ideas discussion to negotiate and justify the selection of an option to answer the challenges, which is aligned with constructivist approaches [27].…”

Mobile augmented reality games (MARGs) offer exciting possibilities for enriching outdoor learning and enhancing tourism experiences. However, there is a notable gap in understanding the perspectives of doctoral students on these innovative approaches. This paper presents the results of a case study conducted during the 2023 EERA Summer School in Portugal, where PhD students in Education, from universities all around the globe, engaged in a MARG for sustainable development education. Seventy-three students embarked on a walking city tour, whilst playing an interdisciplinary game supported by the EduCITY Smart Learning City Environment. It comprises a web platform, an app, location games, and game creation training. Students experienced the EduCITY app, which guided them through a designated city path encompassing tourist sites, while promoting diverse learning opportunities. At the end, students provided feedback through a short and anonymous evaluation questionnaire, incorporating the user experience questionnaire and one open-ended question for improvement suggestions. This study revealed valuable insights into the doctoral students’ perspectives on the EduCITY app’s user experience, highlighting the strengths of “Attractiveness”, “Stimulation”, and “Novelty”. However, it also identified areas for improvement, particularly in “Dependability” and “Efficiency”. The analysis of the open-ended responses suggested that “Attractiveness” and “Perspicuity”, while not immediate priorities, should be considered in refinement phases as well. As more and more students recognize the importance of MARGs in education, there is a growing need for research in this field, aligning with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Goal 4.

“…Despite many years of research on the phenomenon of collaboration, many aspects remain unknown, including what factors make some students reluctant to engage in such tasks. It is hard to disagree with the statement of Lee, Wing and Yang (2020), that "one essential requirement of all students is the capacity to collaborate effectively with peers" (p. 1). However, students themselves do not always collaborate effectively in groups, and they perform their tasks, such as placing discussion posts, only to get a pass for them.…”

“…Nevertheless, online learners -similarly to offline learners -often avoid collaborationrequiring tasks, such as editing other people's works (Blau, Shamir-Inbal and Avdiel, 2020). It also happens that they take part in a group discussion, but their input is insignificant and often conservative (Hämäläinen, 2012;Lee, Wing and Yang, 2020). It seems that one of the reasons may be the fear that their digital skills are inadequate, and that they themselves will not cope and will be criticised.…”

This paper discusses digital skills and their role in collaborative distance learning. Collaboration is considered to be one of the most effective, yet challenging, methods of teaching and learning. Many learners avoid collaborative tasks, for different reasons. We believe that the level of digital skills may be a key to understanding their attitude. A study was conducted at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. The respondents assessed, amongst other items, the level of their own digital skills. Based on this assessment, three groups of students with different skill levels were distinguished. Further analyses showed that students with different level of digital skills vary according to their own experiences in collaborative online learning, but not in terms of views on the phenomenon, technologies used, or computer hardware. Most differences are between the low and high skill groups. However, they are also present between the low and average, and the average and high skill groups. These results contribute to the discussion on the need to individualise the teaching and learning process and highlight the roles of digital competence development for all participants in the learning process.

Mining problems and exploring rules are the key problems in the learning process, and also the difficulties in education big data. Therefore, taking learning behavior as the research objective, this study demonstrates the collaborative training method of multi view learning interaction process driven by big data, so as to realize the tendency preference diversion of learning behavior. Based on collaborative training method of learning behavior. Through adequate experiments, we get the suitable and valuable rules, constructs the directed topological relationship of tendency preference division, and mines the feasible improvement measures and intervention mechanism. Experiments and practices show that the potential topological relationship can effectively improve and enable learning, and improve the assessment results.
