“…For students, it offers all-the-time access to course materials while preserving the advantages of face-to-face instruction. It also encourages social interaction and collaborative by extending the learning environment beyond traditional classroom settings (Li et al 2014); students, naturally, build learning relations and engage in creating virtual groups on WhatsApp or Telegram, a new learning trend came to be known as micro-learning (Aldosemani, T., 2019). According to Marsh (2012), blended learning supports learners" individualism, collaboration, independence, and engagement.…”

This study explores students’ perceptions of blended learning in a Saudi higher education institution; namely, the Saudi Electronic University. SEU is the only university in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that offers undergraduate degree programs in complete mandatory Blended Learning mode of education in all courses. The study aims to describe the actual utilization of online learning represented by Blackboard as the official Learning Management System in SEU and to dictate students’ satisfaction with the learning experience. The methodology used to achieve this goal was surveying students’ opinions through sending out online questionnaires. The main purpose of this study is to consider the students’ feedback, improve what needs improvements, and keep up the good work if it is considered ‘good work’.

“…Microlearning has generally realized a positive shift in employee training. However, challenges alongside its implementation have brought about discussions (Aldosemani 2019;Isibika et al 2022;Wen and Zhang 2015;Zhang and West 2019) in training and development on matters such as suitability, that is, if every subject can be trained using microlearning and accessibility for all. For instance, not all trainees are digitally literate.…”

“…Microlearning enables learners to reduce information overload, enrich learning processes, improve training effectiveness, and increase learners' level of engagement in online environments (Nikou and Economides 2018;Shamir-Inbal and Blau 2020). This is because it aids better retention thus allowing learners to develop self-regulation skills and lifelong learning capacities (Aldosemani 2019;Reinhardt and Elwood 2019).…”

Microlearning has shifted professional training and development and its acceptance depends on perceived user benefits. This study examines the influence of user-perceived benefits on librarians’ acceptance of the microlearning approach in selected universities in Tanzania. Using a questionnaire informed by the variables of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model to collect data from a sample of 64 librarians, the results indicated that the perceived ease of use was found to play a more significant role in the acceptance of microlearning than perceived usefulness. However, the lack of in-person/physical interaction with peers during the training deterred the use of microlearning by the librarians. The positive influence of perceived usefulness and ease of use on the acceptance of microlearning strengthens the relevance of adopting microlearning as a didactic technology for librarians’ training. The findings imply that proper implementation of microlearning as a training avenue is key due to the plenteous benefits it affords over the challenges.

A feedback model applied in a ubiquitous microlearning environment using SECA rules

et al. 2022

Understanding learners’ behavior is the key to the success of any learning process. The more we know about them, the more likely we can personalize learning experiences and provide successful feedback. This paper presents a feedback model implemented in a ubiquitous microlearning environment based on contextual and behavioral information and evaluation results. The model uses SECA rules where the Scenario (S) represents the ubiquitous context variables reflecting the learner behavior during the learning process. The Event (E) identifies the probability that a learner fails or passes its evaluation. Condition (C) evaluates the results of the events. Moreover, Action (A) provides feedback to the learner. The proposal is developed through a controlled experiment whereby a microlearning environment can collect data from a ubiquitous context. The feedback model applies an analytics process to find the best context and behavior variables through different classification models. Those models predict whether a learner could fail, determine evaluation results’ causes, and provide feedback. The Random Forest was the model with the best performance. Thus, 94% accuracy, a 97% Recall, a 93% Precision, an F1 score of 95%, and a Jaccard of 91%. Hence, each scenario is defined from a branch of every tree obtained from the Random Forest model personalizing feedback actions applying clustering techniques. Finally, we presented an exemplified set of feedback rules, providing automatic recommendations and improving learner experiences. Thus, the experiment allows analyzing the learner behavior in a ubiquitous microlearning context from a feedback perspective.
