“…In the development of education at universities, in line with the implementation of the elements of sustainable development, the qualitative transformation of universities in the field of research, teaching and management and organizational activities is important. The works [3][4][5][6][7][24][25][26][27] improvement by universities of their positions in international rankings, • increasing support from the administration of higher education institutions for the implementation of sustainable development, • closer cooperation between higher education institutions' administrations and sustainable development researchers.…”

The mining industry in the world has undergone a major metamorphosis in recent years. These changes have forced higher education to modify the curricula in a thorough way to meet the mining entrepreneurs’ needs. The paper’s scope is to answer the research question—how to attract students and implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education in mining engineering? Based on the case of international cooperation carried out at the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) within the framework of educational projects co-financed by European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities Raw Materials (EIT RM), the authors prove that the idea of sustainable development can be introduced into the system of teaching mining specialists at every level of their higher education (engineering and master’s studies), through developing their new competencies, introducing new subjects taking into account innovative solutions and technologies, or placing great emphasis on environmental and social aspects. Examples of new curricula show a good way to change into the new face of a mining engineer.

PurposeThis study aims to explore how learners prefer to interact with microlearning videos. Microlearning is an emerging topic in work-based learning, and the benefits of using video in supporting learning have been widely discussed. However, only very few of previous works were conducted on discussing how learners prefer to interact with microlearning video. This paper aims to fill this knowledge gap.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was used in this study for data collection purposes. In total, the invitation had been sent to 236 enrolled learners from the 3 targeted modules through emails. A total of 77 participants completed the survey with the response rate 32.6%. The chi-square test is used in this study in order to conclude whether the findings from the sample related to hypotheses are statistically significant.FindingsBy analysing primary data collected from a United Kingdom (UK) university, the findings suggest that 1) the perceived usefulness of the control functions and the expression functions of multimedia microlearning videos are generally high and 2) more participants, on the one hand, prefer to have more control in their multiple-choice questions’ arrangement and open-ended questions’ arrangement; on the other hand, there was no significant difference on the preference of when to attempt assessment.Originality/valueThis is the first time that a study like this had been conducted to review and discuss the interactive preferences between learners and multimedia microlearning. This study could shed some lights on future research in the field of microlearning and work-based learning.

Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be beneficial for educationalpurposes and has emerged as a prevalent topic for teaching and learning.However, there is very little that is currently known about VR in the contextof learning from different fields. This research is a systematic literaturereview which intends to investigate the future trends of virtual reality forlearning by analyzing real-world data obtained from Google Scholar,Crossref, and Google Trends; the first pertinent publication discovered in thedatabase is included as the data of this study. In total, 451 relevantpublications from Google Scholar and 999 relevant publications fromCrossref have been identified by utilizing content analysis. Based on thefindings, VR is an immensely new and emerging worldwide topic thatinvolves authors and connections from various countries. Overall, thesignificant increase in publications on “virtual reality for learning” (as asource of knowledge) in recent years corresponds to the growing trend ofInternet searches on “virtual reality for learning” (as a practical demand).These findings contribute to a reference, to promote, to adjust and re-alignVR in workplace learning. This study only covers publication trends,including the number of publications per year and the source types ofpublications, as well as internet search trends from 2004 to 2022.
