This article contains results from a survey among students of urban and spatial planning in Slovenia to inform teacher's approaches to teaching as an important driver of institutional change.

This article explores networked learning technologies and the development of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs). The study examines and explains hybrid MOOCs and focuses on the use of bot-teachers within a post-humanist perspective. The research findings reveal that, while the use of bot-teachers is beneficial in terms of facilitating and increasing discourse/interaction, it is ineffective in providing other components of teaching presence. Yet ultimately, learners' positive behaviors indicate that bot-teachers hold promise as an educational tool.

This article presents the scholarly articles that were written after the 2017 EDUsummIT, based on discussions within the Thematic Working Groups during the meeting itself. The article also present the Call to Action that was consolidated from the closing statements of the nine EDUsummIT 2017 Thematic Working Groups.

This article attempts to identify some of the components that positively affect student motivation in mobile augmented reality (AR) learning experiences to contribute to the design and development of motivational AR learning experiences for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) level of education.

This article investigates how the influence and importance of factors associated with life satisfaction in the elderly have changed during these years.

This article describes a secondary data analysis study linking the internal organizational elements of administrative intensity to institutional results as evidenced by higher education student retention and graduation rates.

This article examines the design elements of three virtual reality games for functionality and transferability to orientation and mobility education for visually impaired individuals.

In this article, a topic model was explored using unsupervised machine learning to summarized free-text narrative reports of 77,215 injuries that occurred in coal mines in the USA between 2000 and 2015. Latent Dirichlet Allocation modeling processes identified six topics from the free-text data. The modeling success enjoyed in this exploratory effort suggests that additional topic mining of these injury text narratives is justified, especially using a broad set of covariates to explain variations in topic emphasis and for comparison of surface mining injuries with injuries occurring during site preparation for construction.

Article presents a fully automated workflow for phylogenetic reconstruction on large datasets, consisting of two novel methods, one for fast detection of cognates and one for fast Bayesian phylogenetic inference.

This article differentiates between general systems theory (GST) and complexity theory, as well as identifies advantages for the social sciences in incorporating complexity theory as a formal theory. Complexity theory is expanded upon and identified as providing a new perspective and a new method of theorizing that can be practiced by disciplines within the social sciences.

Article investigating the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education. To investigate this issue, the technology adoption and gratification (TAG) model was validated and used to examine Malaysian university teachers' adoption and gratification of ICT for teaching and research purposes and then used to investigate the moderating effect of universities in different regions. This paper confirms the utility of the TAG model for comparing teachers' adoption and gratification of ICT.

This article presents some results of the content analysis study that explores the authority data change over time in response to change in standards. Authority data describes persons, institutions, places, events, and works, as well as relations between them. This study contributes to the understanding of metadata change and its relation to functionality of authority records and improved information access.

This article produced descriptive narrative outcomes and data visualizations including information about top soft system methodology (SSM) authors, author citation impacts, common dissemination outlets for SSM work, and other relevant metrics commonly used to measure academic impact. The goal of this piece is to depict who, what, why, when, and where SSM had the greatest impact on research, systems thinking, and methodology after nearly 40 years of use, as we look towards its future as a methodological approach used to comprehend complex problem situations.

Article reports on a case-control study of risks factors associated with 4,845 injured workers and their work environments that led to fatal rather than nonfatal injuries during 2015-2017.

Article describes a collaborate study between University of North Texas and Toyota Connected focusing on how to structure and manage multiteam systems (MTSs).

This article introduces and evaluates a framework for designing motivational augmented reality applications.

This article offers a theory of public knowledge for the purposes of defining more clearly its role in information systems and classification schemas.

Article evaluates the impact of new media on scientific literacy. Content analysis with a coding scheme was performed on 42 filtered websites and 20 microblogs to analyze the role of new media in disseminating scientific knowledge. The results showed that the quality of science-oriented websites was higher than that of microblogs. Suggestions about how to improve the quality of science-oriented new media and how to develop students’ scientific literacy through new media are also discussed.
