“…This ranges from ensuring that the students have an adequate digital technology literacy and infrastructures (IEEE, 2020a ), to the effective delivery of online instructions and management of unforeseen clashes or events within the different learning platforms (Bao, 2020 ). Moreover, in the current wave and aftermath of the Covid-19, the rapid growth and enhanced access to information and communication technologies have never been more than ever affirmed to pose new possibilities towards teaching and learning in the diaspora (de Souza Rodrigues et al, 2020 ; Pettersson, 2020 ; Tzanavaris et al, 2020 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many areas of the human and organizational ventures worldwide. This includes new innovative technologies and strategies being developed by educators to foster the rapid learning-recovery and reinstatement of the stakeholders (e.g., teachers and students). Indeed, the main challenge for educators has been on what appropriate steps should be taken to prevent learning loss for the students; ranging from how to provide efficient learning tools/curriculum that ensures continuity of learning, to provision of methods that incorporate coping mechanisms and acceleration of education in general. For several higher educational institutions (HEIs), technology-mediated education has become an integral part of the modern teaching/learning instruction amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, when digital technologies have consequently become an inevitable and indispensable part of learning. To this effect, this study defines a hybrid educational model (HyFlex + Tec) used to enable virtual and in-person education in the HEIs. Practically, the study utilized data usage report from Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and Emotions and Experience Survey questionnaire in a higher education setting for its experiments. To this end, we applied an Exponential Linear trend model and Forecasting method to determine overall progress and statistics for the learners during the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequently performed a Text Mining and Univariate Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine effects and significant differences that the teaching–learning experiences for the teachers and students have on their energy (learning motivation) levels. From the results, we note that the hybrid learning model supports continuity of education/learning for teachers and students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study also discusses its innovative importance for future monitoring (tracking) of learning experiences and emotional well-being for the stakeholders in leu (aftermath) of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“…The increasing number of users connecting through social networks and web platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as numerous Blogs and Wikis, creates continuously a significant volume in written communication through the Web [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The amount and quality of information and knowledge extracted from social text has been considered crucial to studying and analyzing public opinion [1,3,5,8,9], as well as linguistic [2,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15] and behavioral [4,6,[16][17][18] patterns. In its typical form, social text is often short in length, low in readability scores, informal, syntactically unstructured, characterized by great morphological diversity and features of oral speech, misspellings and slang vocabulary, consequently presenting major challenges for NLP and Data Mining tasks [2,4,7,10,11,13,[13][14][15][16]19].…”

Mining social web text has been at the heart of the Natural Language Processing and Data Mining research community in the last 15 years. Though most of the reported work is on widely spoken languages, such as English, the significance of approaches that deal with less commonly spoken languages, such as Greek, is evident for reasons of preserving and documenting minority languages, cultural and ethnic diversity, and identifying intercultural similarities and differences. The present work aims at identifying, documenting and comparing social text data sets, as well as mining techniques and applications on social web text that target Modern Greek, focusing on the arising challenges and the potential for future research in the specific less widely spoken language.
