“…Regarding the importance of academic majors, previous research has suggested that this variable be investigated more in gamified learning (Legaki et al, 2019). Studies have found that gamified learning has had a greater impact on the learning outcomes of students majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering than in Business Administration (Legaki et al, 2020), and that students with non-geographic or non-science backgrounds had a lower experience rating than those with geographic or science backgrounds (Heintzman, 2020). However, little is known about the distinct effects on students in various academic disciplines.…”

Gamified online quizzes have gained popularity for their potential in enhancing student learning motivations, creating engaging lessons, and improving learning outcomes. Yet, its application and effectiveness in support of student vocabulary learning have only been explored in synchronous learning setting. This study, hence, extended the exploration by examining the implementation of gamified vocabulary learning in an asynchronous mode and analyzing the impacts on students’ learning outcomes in class. The study was carried out for 10 weeks, involving 300 2nd year students at a Thai university. The instrument and measure comprised 500 English academic words made into 10 vocabulary sets on Quizizz.com, and 10 in-class vocabulary tests. The findings of the study revealed that students’ vocabulary learning practice in asynchronous mode had positive correlations with and could significantly predict their in-class vocabulary results. Female students outperformed male students; nonetheless, there was no significant difference across academic majors.

“…However, the literature also shows that many studies develop WebGIS for a purpose not associated with monitoring COVID-19. A total of eight papers developed geotechnologies for educational purposes [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. The literature review also identified geotechnologies for public resource management [52] and tourism [53].…”

Web Geographic Information Systems (WebGISs) were widely used to monitor COVID-19 cases and deaths during the pandemic. Furthermore, geotechnologies were also very useful in education, public management, tourism, and other areas. Although there are WebGISs with a high level of sophistication, most are simple, consisting of geovisualizers of cases, deaths, and vaccinations. This study develops a WebGIS that offers information about age, comorbidities, and tests, which can be analyzed from specific points such as hospitals, main access roads, regions, or neighborhoods. Although it is not a highly sophisticated solution, the WebGIS developed in this study is especially useful for municipal governments in developing countries like Brazil that do not have patient health data in geographic databases. The WebGIS developed in this study offers public managers essential information for developing effective public policies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemiological phenomena such as dengue and malaria.

“…The interactive nature of design procedures provides not only the technical interactivity of drawing tools between the user and the computer, but also pedagogical interactivity as a teaching strategy to facilitate active learning (Heintzman, 2020; Liu & Zhu, 2008). The proposed map‐drawing algorithm in this study could be a potential interactive learning software for developing users' knowledge of constructing schematic network maps (Weeden, 1996).…”

This article presents a proof-of-concept designer-in-theloop schematic map drawing tool, based on the marriage of two approaches-manual and automated, which provides the technical interactivity of drawing tools between the user and the computer. We focus on concentric circle maps as opposed to the commonly used orthogonal mode representation, which is suggested by previous studies that it could promote better network learning. In comparison with existing methods, the proposed method is more compatible with the framework of effective map design from psychological and aesthetic perspectives, and a range of options can be provided in conjunction with users' preferences. We evaluated our approach on a set of iterations with case studies of Hong Kong metro with a group of three co-authors from the fields of geography, transport engineering, and education.
