Understanding Modern Learning Environment (MLE) in Big Data Era

Abstract

Abstract-as an attempt to understand Modern Learning Environment (MLE) to support learning in big data era, its exploration where the students are engaged to access online resources using their mobile devices, laptop and other digital devices needs to understand MLE as the term integrated between digital technology tools and learning skills. The convenient facilitation has a whole section designed to support learning styles which can exactly create the learning environment to be modern. This paper aims to explore innovative design for MLE with big data approach to see the chance in applying this model for the construction to the design of big data based learning environments to facilitate online learning towards information and knowledge in higher education setting. The finding reveals to propose model reference to be implemented to improve student learning outcomes in a technology-rich teaching and learning environment in higher education. As a result, this paper is expected to contribute in the support with an initiative in the learning performance.

Student Experiences of Using Online Material to Support Success in A-Level Economics

“…If we can begin to understand what works in supporting learners, then we can streamline our design processes, as well as maximise student engagement. It is also necessary to explore how online materials can support learners by developing more inclusive learning environments [50]. Utilising technology in and outside of the classroom helps to address some of the key expectations set by [73].…”

“…As [93] noted, there is gap in existing research regarding student preferences around digital platforms in education, and whether current usage meets those preferences. As [50] has identified, most learners have access to at least one digital device, so it is important for educators to understand if the time invested in creating online material is actually targeting learning needs, or whether it is more efficient to focus efforts in a new direction. This netnography is also an investigation as to whether learners have the ability pick and choose which resources are suitable for them in their journey to develop independent learning skills [17].…”

“…The drive behind this research is to shift the responsibility and ownership of learning from the teacher to the student [49,50], through empowering the latter to make use of available materials [67]. The age of compulsory education in the UK has recently changed from 16 to 18, meaning that students who might have finished school to enter the workforce at 16 are now expected to continue with their studies for an additional two years.…”

“…Our first focus, and the purpose of the literature review, is to gain insight and contextualise to the value of our research topic. Next, the history of technology-enhanced learning is explored to show the benefits such delivery for learners [50]. Some barriers to success are also considered within the literature review, mainly to note that a lack of confidence is a key concern.…”

“…We are now more interconnected, as well as more technologically savvy, than we have ever been. Education, learning, resources; these are things no longer bound by the four walls of a classroom but instead extend beyond these limits and can be with us wherever we are [50]. Technology has supported the development of wider understanding and highly collaborative environments [61] but it has also allowed for more personalisation.…”
