Will the development of intelligent chatbots available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence negatively or rather positively affect the development of science, the development of scientific research, the analysis of data from research conducted, the description of results obtained from research conducted, the writing and publishing of scientific texts, etc.?
Recently, rapid development of ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies is taking place, including Big Data, Internet of Things, cloud computing, digital twins, multi-criteria simulation models, machine learning, deep learning and generative artificial intelligence, among others. Developments in generative artificial intelligence technology are being made through the use of artificial neural networks, among others. New applications of generative artificial intelligence are determined by the previously carried out process of GAI system training, i.e. teaching the implementation of specific skills, performing complex tasks, performing new functions, solving specific problems intelligently using deep learning technology. Increasingly, generative artificial intelligence technology is being trained to intelligently perform complex research and analysis processes. Among other things, this kind of application of generative artificial intelligence is the implementation of this technology for business analytics carried out using large sets of data and information, i.e. analytics carried out on computerized business intelligence and Big Data Analytics platforms. This type of analytics is being applied in various fields of knowledge, various sectors of the economy, various companies, enterprises, financial and public institutions. This type of analytics is also increasingly used in improving research processes and increasing the efficiency of complex analytical processes carried out as part of ongoing research in various scientific disciplines. Since OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot was made available on the Internet, i.e. since November 2022, more similar intelligent chatbots created by other leading technology companies have been successively appearing. The intelligent chatbots made available on the Internet are used, among other things, in the development of the results of scientific research conducted, in the execution of certain stages of analytical processes, in the processing of results obtained from scientific research conducted, etc. The increase in the application of intelligent chatbots in research and analytical processes is due to the simplicity of operation of these chatbots, their availability on the Internet in the formula of open access, the ability of these tools to implement complex research processes, multi-criteria analysis, intelligent problem solving. On the other hand, the possibilities of applying the aforementioned chatbots in the processes of conducted scientific research are still severely limited due to the many imperfections of the databases on which certain generative artificial intelligence systems were trained. It still happens that the databases of data and information on which the said GAI systems were trained contain data and information in many respects outdated, incomplete, in the course of the "work" of these tools certain data and information can be "creatively" combined so that in the results of the work of a certain intelligent chatbot there are often "fictitious facts", ie. generated new and factually inconsistent content, factual errors, misrepresentations, falsehoods, which can be presented and described within the phraseologically, syntactically, stylistically correct essays, papers, articles, etc., written by generative artificial intelligence. Besides, the textual and other studies created by these tools often do not show all the data sources, all the source publications, all the materials that the chatbot used in drawing certain data and information while creating the commissioned human textual, graphic work, etc. Besides, even if the sources of data and information are partially shown, they are often shown in an incomplete way, inconsistent with the current standards for showing and compiling source and bibliographic footnotes. Perhaps, in the future, the aforementioned, used currently made available on the Internet intelligent chatbots will be sufficiently improved, corrected, supplemented so that they can be used by researchers and scientists in specific research, analytical processes within the framework of ongoing scientific research to a fuller extent and without the currently existing risks. Therefore, the development of intelligent chatbots available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence currently both negatively and positively can affect the development of science, the development of scientific research, the analysis of data from conducted research, the description of results obtained from conducted research, the writing and publishing of scientific texts, etc. Whether serious risks are generated or rather positive aspects prevail with the application of currently available intelligent chatbots on the Internet in certain aspects of the research and analysis processes carried out as part of the scientific research conducted depends on a number of factors. On the one hand, it depends on whether the technology company developing the said intelligent chatbots keeps improving them, enhancing them and expanding them with new functions and skills. On the other hand, it also depends on whether such cultivated specific research and analytical tools are used prudently by researchers and scientists with knowledge of the drawbacks and limitations associated with the use of these tools.
I described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Will the development of intelligent chatbots available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence negatively or rather positively affect the development of science, the development of scientific research, the analysis of data derived from research conducted, the description of results obtained from research conducted, the writing and publishing of scientific texts, etc.?
Will the development of chatbots based on generative artificial intelligence negatively or rather positively affect the development of science?

What are the ethical and regulatory considerations associated with the integration of machine and deep learning technologies in brain tumor identification, and how can patient privacy and data security be ensured?
Hello everyone
I am a master's business management from Sapienza University. I want to make a new proposal for applying Ph.D. in field management. I am thinking that traditional training ( teacher speaking) is not completely practical and most students cannot enhance their skills through courses at university because of that when they will graduate they will understand their knowledge is not related to what they learned. That's why nowadays, students are finding out e-learning and online courses are practical ways to increase their knowledge like the Coursera website in the field of their interest. Now I want to make a proposal for a Ph.D. that there is a gap between in level of courses at universities and learning by digital learning technology. if someone can give me some advice on how can I make a relationship with them in the field of management, I will really appreciate it.
The enhanced capabilities of DTV will provide educators with new opportunities to use quality programming as part of their curricula. Public television, in particular, will become a stronger partner of educators in bringing educational content to the classroom. The key for educators is to understand that digital TV is not merely television with a sharper picture. Here are some ways public television and educators can work together in the digital era to enhance their current productive partnerships: Quality classroom programming, Interactivity and distance learning.
I am looking for a title for my Masters thesis. I am interested in energy sector something like applications of machine learning and deep learning technologies particularly in energy distribution and transmission systems for power grid management. Could anyone suggests some good title for my research?
Hi,
I have a big concern about wheather is possible to gather different inferential methods (posttest-only, pretest-posttest) in a study on education. I have tested both a mobile learning technology (APP) for programming and robotics with its educational methodology since 2019, which the students has employed for 16 weeks per semester. During 2019-2021, the students (n=42) evaluated the application and the methodology only by means of a posttest (anonymous survey) with a tracing of the students grades and the collection of several semi-structured interviews. My idea here was to triangulate different sources of evaluation to increase the reliability of the study. However, this year, to validate the study under different scenarios, I want to perform a pretest-postest in the groups with (n=45) students that are going to use the APP and the methodology. I must mention that groups are different of several engineering careers.
My question here is, Could I use (posttest-only, pretest-posttest) methods between different groups in this educational study?
Under your experience, Could this be beneficial for the study? , or What would it be the pros and cons in this regard?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jonathan

I am working on web page classification using deep learning technologies and I am currently looking for a dataset. If you have any suggestions or information about a dataset (preferably in .csv format and about 100,000 records) please let me know.
About an year ago, I intended to submit my article in International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT 2017). I Submitted the paper and got acceptance letter within a week. Despite being a young researcher I became curious about the originality of the conference. I consulted with my supervisor who told me about the fake Organization (WASET) which was replicating the original conferences with the same name as of famous conferences. Then I stopped any further conversation with the ICALT 2017, the fake one without submitting the conference fee and submitted the paper in Original conference. Today, I encountered that my article was published and was available on the web under WASET organization. I intend to submit the full version of the same paper to well reputed journal but curious to know the following points.
1. Can I withdraw the article published under WASET
2. Can I submit the full version of the same paper to an indexed journal.
3. If I can not submit this article to an original conference or journal what could I do with my hard earned research work which has been lost ?
Dear readers,
In my areas of research (Technology Enhanced Learning, Semantic web, HCI...), it is extremely useful to use the Web as a way to try ideas with a web application that various people can test.
Developing and deploying a webapp isn't rocket science, but picking the JS framework that will be expressive enough while remaining easy to use in practice is rather challenging.
Up to now, I have mainly worked with VueJS and Svelte for these kind of prototype. With the release of Vue 3 and the lack of evolution of Sapper (Svelte equivalent of Next for Vue), I am unsure what to choose.
The ideal solution requires integration with a Websocket library or better a firebase alternative.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

How should the traditional structural performance research make use of the emerging machine learning technology to achieve a new breakthrough?
For an example, how is the pandemic challenging indigenous people? Or alternatively, is indigenous knowledge important in this era of COVID pandemic? Also, how can indigenous people assist during this times, is it needed or must we do away with it?
Does anyone have, or know where I might get a comparison of the threaded discussion features among popular learning management systems? By "features" I am thinking about threading, adaptive release, email from thread, push notifications for posts, etc.
This large international conference will be held online this year due to COVID. I am submitting a paper to the Technology Enhanced Language Learning track (8). It is about a topic I have never seen in scholarly literature & I am proud of my idea. We'll see if the reviewers like it.

Hi all,
I'm testing and reviewing Adaptive Learning Technologies to answer my questions:
- What are the pedagogical affordances of the platforms?
- What is the algorithm behind any given platform, why is it chosen, and does it have pedagogical implications? Bayesian Knowledge Tracing? Item Response Theory? Rasch? Other?
So far I have found Alosi at alosilabs.org, Concerto at concertoplatform.com, Scale at viseyes.org, Adapt at adaptlearning.org and I consider functionalities in LMS's.
Do you know of other software/platforms I should investigate?
Thank you in advance :)
I am developing an EFA on mobile learning, but one of the comments I have received in past arbitrations of my work is that the technology that was used in the experiment is not a state of the art learning technology. So, I want to justify or delimit the socio-economical level of the school to explain the affordance of the technology that the students had. Plus, I am open to any other alternatives and to start a collaborative on the topic if you are interested.
Most learning management systems still use a similar structure of threading discussions for asynchronous student-to-student and student-to-instructor dialogue. Working from the assumption that robust dialogue is a necessary component of instruction designed within a social constructivist environment, are there any viable, existing or emerging alternatives to the threaded structure of discussions?
Hey there,
I am currentliy Developing my subject for my graduation work (M.A. E-Learning and Media Education).
At the moment I am mostly interested in looking whether and how the live-streaming platform "twitch.tv" can be effectively used to provide education in any way, form and context.
The subject has to specified though, but the decision to work on this subject mostly depends on the question whether there are some researches and/or scientific works regarding this thematic field. My recent searches didn't provide the best results, which is why I am now trying to ask you guys for a little help or some hints.
Maybe there is someone out there, who already did some research in this thematic field and can name some important frame works, researches and articles to read or at least good websites/search engines to search for resources. Any advice and suggestion will help me.
Sorry for my not so perfect English, but I am from Germany. So german or english literature will be the easiest to work with for me.
Any questions? Feel free to ask me!
Thanks in advance.
Do you think that you are "teaching" according to the ways or "methods" others taught you? or are you trying to create your own philosophy about teaching and adopt your own teaching methods?
Dear all
I am looking for meta-reviews that document the (educational) potential (e.g., purposes, affordances, etc.) of educational technology/technology-enhanced learning in higher education. I am aware that this is a complex matter and its potential depends on the context. However, I was wondering if anyone has come across academic literature on this that tries to bring together and synthesise studies from different subject areas, contexts, delivery formats (blended/online), etc.
Any recommendation is highly appreciated.
Best wishes,

Dear research community,
I am in search for review studies that summarize the issues different kinds of online learning environments (MOOCs, SPOCs, flipped classrooms) face. I would be happy to draw from your knowledge in the field by receiving some hints!

Most well-known technology-enhanced learning (TEL) journals publish articles on (traditional) educational experiments supported by experimental/empirical data etc. However, what about articles on the more institutional perspectives on effects and e.g. TEL conceptualisations and management. Any good recommendations for journals?
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
I attended a public lecture entitled: "The Future of Processed Foods" yesterday by Dr. Kenneth Swartzel and learned that there are technologies that are used to make great beef steak or chicken breast in a Petr-dish using a cell culture technology. The cultured meat are not required to be processed as the growth takes place in an aseptic condition. It was indicated that the meat produced this way is extremely expensive.
- What is the issue with killing animals? For one, animals are going to die anyway, two if we do not kill them and eat them, they compete for our plant based energy sources, three they are going to contribute hugely to global warming by producing tonnes of methane gas, that has about 20X global warming effect as carbondioxide
- One the cost of the cultured meat, what is the most limiting factor(s)? Why is it so expensive? This could have helped us produce and supply enough proteins to the developing World and combat the highly prevalent protein-energy-malnutrition (PEM).
- What should be done to educate the public before the technology is out and misunderstood like the GMO?
I wanted to know the importance of "Backward Design" for the field of learning technology
I'm interested in instruments (questionnaires, surveys, interviews, observation tools, etc.) that can be used to assess learning when technology is used. I am primarily looking for instruments that can show the impact of the technology on student learning compared to learning without the use of technology, but I would appreciate any instruments that involved ed tech and learning. I am primarily finding instruments that measure attitude toward, beliefs about, and acceptance of technology be teachers and students, but little about actual learning.
Thanks in advance for sharing!
The use of technology in our everyday activities has gain much attention over recent times and has transcend into teaching and learning.
Psychologist such as Vygotsky, Edward Thorndike, Jerome Bruner, C. Rogers, Edwin Guthrie have all proposed different learning theories such as constructivism, Behaviorism, Cognitivisim, Cognitive load theory, Operational conditioning theory.
Am wondering which of these theories could be embedded with technology in order to teach at higher institution of learning
Dear All,

Dear colleague,
I am an assistant professor of Mechatronics engineering at Al Azhar University- Gaza.
I have special interests in modern teaching and learning technologies. This involves designing and building laboratory experiments that can be run locally or remotely. I am also interested in developing virtual teaching tools for engineering education through interactive simulations.
I have a wide experience in automation, LabVIEW and MATLAB programming, control systems, mechatronics subjects teaching.
I am currently working on a remote lab experiment to cover the theory and practice of DC motor control, from modelling through to PID controller design. The project involves designing the software and hardware components that allow students to perform the experiment in the lab as well as remotely from home. The setup allows students to control the experimental setup remotely and watch a live video stream of the experiment.
If you are interested in collaboration, do let me know and I will be happy to share and cooperate on more ideas on the e-teaching/learning methods for mechanical/mechatronics/electronics engineering course.
Kind regards,
Ahmed Issa.

Dear all,
I am conducting a study on the effect of on-screen text on developing L2 vocabulary acquisition. I want to see whether participants' memories would be affected by load of multiple modes of the task (video, text. audio) and whether decreasing modes (i.e., text) would enhance the students' working memories. I want also to find if there is any correlation between the gain of vocab and the abundance of input in which the students will be engaged in. I would be so thankful to you if anyone has developed a tool or administered reliable measures to assess the cognitive load of students' memories.
More than half of world's population does not have reliable access to the Internet. At the same time, educational resources are more multimedia-based than ever (bandwidth) and often hosted on centralised cloud-based platforms requiring a good Internet connection.
Inability to use online education in underconnected regions is particularly prominent in the case of MOOCs, where some researchers argue it may lead to even further global digital divide.
Are you aware of research or cases of making online educational materials/courses (e.g. MOOCs) available in underconnected areas?
I am interested in knowing if you have had many student queries regarding accessing and downloading materials from your University's learning management system with their mobile devices. These include being unable to open and download files in certain formats. Your kind response is greatly appreciated.
many thanks,
Debra
At Narxoz University we are finalizing experiment with blended learning that involved 4000 students. I am looking for similar studies, so far no luck.
We want to choose some ICT tools and software for supporting students learning .We need know why it is needed in under development countries then to get also the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed one
I'm doing research on how technology can be used to promote access to education in developing countries.
Hello,
When I hit the adaptive learning or knowledge assessment systems in my google search , thousands of results appear. This is making me overwhelmed and confused at the same time.

In the context of this issue I’m planning to investigate the possibilities of electronic textbooks in stimulating activities and improvement the position of students in the school.
Am embarking on a research that has to measure the preparedness of stakeholders e.g. policy makers in national education about the introduction of M-Learning to replace an existing a text-based distance learning programme. Thanks.
I am a beginner teacher and my students just have their movile devices to use. Do I need to know how to program? Does your app have 3D object?
We know which are the most used mechanics in education, they are 10: points; level and strategies; badges; leaderboards, prizes and rewards; progress bar; storyline and feedback as Nah et al. (2014) presented in their study. But what about other educational environment, such as MOOCs?
What are the latest researches in tracing the cognitive paths of students while engaged in learning?
I am looking for recommendations for a book for "Technology in the Classroom" course. If you teach a similar course, i would like to know if you use a book or other materials from the Internet. I am open for suggestions.
What resources of technology can serve the real purpose to improve teaching of non technical subjects such as English?
Hi Professors, I am conducting a research about adoption of mobile technologies in Palestinian schools from teachers' perspectives. I focused on tablet PCs as a specific type of mobile technologies because this innovation (tablet PCs) is going on in Palestinian schools. I know there are a lot of models and theories about identifying factors that influence adoption process. Some of these are UTAUT and Roger's theory (Diffusion of Innovation). Which one is the best. My data collection instrument is semi-structured interview and weekly lesson plan.
Thank you
It is known that positive emotions can improve effectiveness of learning. Do you know about any research on emotions in the fields of distance learning or webdev?
First things, connected to emotions, which come to mind are:
1. Gamification
2. Socialisation
3. Award system
4. Contests
I'm studying educators' decision making process when organizing online educational sessions. I want to know what adjustments related to content, pedagogy, organization, etc. are made when one designs and delivers content online. Yes, educators make a lot of adjustments related to content, pedagogy etc. to meet learners' needs. How often these adjustments are related to the online technology? Could anyone share their experiences of online teaching? Or do you have related literature on this topic?
My study context is about online mathematics teacher education. Does anyone have experiences of designing online mathematics courses, or mathematics teacher courses?
Thank you so much!!
Teachers tend to use in e-learning the same techniques/activities/skills they use when teaching groups of students in traditional classroom. But, are the skills used in classroom the same or different to the skills teachers need in e-learning? Which are the differences? Is there taxonomy of skills or competences specific to computer-supported collaborative learning?
Refraining from ICTs to old ways of teaching is the idea of some academicians, what does literature say about this idea and how can we justify this. Any model or researcher that could be helpful to study this phenomena.
Thanks
I am looking for some good references which are dealing with cross-cultural/cross-country differences in online learning.
Colleagues:
I would like to collect different rubrics or instruments used to evaluate lessons in which technology was integrated for achieving the learning outcome(s). Can you share resources with me so that I can design one to suit my local context?
Many thanks,
Debra
I am interested in getting information about new projects for designing e-learning materials for new/emerging textile fields within the Erasmus+ or other suitable programmes.
Are there suggestions to make differentiation for learners? What principles or learning theories are used when designing MOOCs? Would there be any differences in design for science / humanity / business disciplines?
This is a particularly relevant question, as I believe it impacts on learner Flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975, 1997).

As follow-up, I invite you to read and consider your views on this discussion of teacher vs. student feelings on feedback:
I just wonder to know how can i assess Fill-in Concept maps? Do you have any reliable Article or info about assessing fill-in concept map?
I am diving into the implications of ubiquitous computing on the future of learning.
I'm a master degree student and a teacher for middle school students.
I wish to research how letting students use smartphones in class as a tool to answer questions by the teacher effects the pedagogy of the lesson. Does it have a positive effect on the wait time students process the question in their mind? What effect does it have for the class dynamics where the teacher doesn't choose who answers but rather let everyone answer on a collaborative board.
Could you assist me by letting me know what kind of keywords should I search for? Are you familiar with researchers who deal with this subject?
Thank you
Does anyone have any suggestions for questions or measurements that would allow me to evaluate how student's goal language match the construction of an online course? For example: Do students have a focus on time - managing time, limits of time, discuss their goals in terms of time? Do they focus on the tools - taking a quiz, submitting an assignment?
I am particularly interested in capturing the student's language/intent before they see the course in the study.
Let me know here and/or please take our short (about 10 minutes) survey and feel free to distribute to your networks.
Several years ago, I ran a debate with one of my professors at Education Department about human working memory. He insisted that technology has ruined human memory; many people rely more and more on their mobiles and laptops instead of their own memories. He also presented some research evidence showing that.
At that time, it was hard for me to accept this idea. I argued that human is a clever being. If tools or technologies would help us to save our memories, then is it logical to kick these technologies out or even reduce our usage of them because they harm our memories? However, my opinion was not supported by a solid theory. Cognitivism and Constructivism clearly state that our inner memories are important in a learning process.
This debate has carved in my mind and the case was not closed, at least for me. Recently, we have investigated some of new learning theories. Among a long list, we visited Actor-Network Theory, Community of Practice, and Connectivism. And to be honest, I found Connectivism wide enough to answer my question and to build upon. Knowledge is a network and learning is a process of finding patterns reside in this network. Inside or outside human skull, it does not matter.
This is not to end the discussion; actually, it is to open it. Are you with or against of proposing new learning theory? Our understanding of knowledge network, learning and Connectivism presented in this paper.
I am carrying out a research on “Postgraduates’ perceptions of the usefulness of Web 2.0 applications to facilitate collaborative learning in their university". The aim of the research is to investigate which Web 2.0 tools are used generally by post graduate students of various disciplines and to assess their usefulness as well as to explore how the collaboration of knowledge can be made productive in collaborative learning.
Does anyone know studies, projects or initaitves in this field?
I am so interested what are the experiences in developing countries where ICT integration is concerned. To give a picture in Philippine setting, ICT integration is best articulated on affluent private schools and not much on struggling private schools. In public schools, only those big leading schools have the good chance of receiving and sustaining any ICT packages. Like a school may receive ICT package but if the school do not have extra resources, the package may simply deteriorate within 2-4 years. Also, the ICT support structure may also be fluctutating or limited such as unreliable power supply due to power interruptions and the internet connectivity that can either be limited in bandwidth or affected by intermittent power supply. Thus, a big chunk of Philippine schools especially in the interior locations are left in the fringes of this revolutionary teaching modality. I am thus interested from educators in the developing countries. I am sure there are no issues for developed countries.
I'm looking for a [free] instrument that can replace the Learning and Student Student Inventory (LASSI). Does anyone have an evaluation tool or know of one that can be used to see the success of a course or intervention?
I have a preference for ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Competency and Satisfaction) model of Keller. It a motivational model that I adapted to integrate ICT in subject teaching and learning. I would like to know about other models.
Yammer (like FB but only for in house for the school) has had a massive impact on our school learning. However we don't have an analytics package for it. Would love to know how others are researching it's affect.
I'm doing research for my master's thesis and found a lot of research and meta-analyses on gamification, intrinsic motivation, flow etc. in learning context (Dominguez, Hamari , Buckley/Doyle et al.), but I encountered the following problems:
- there seem to be very little empirical studies in the e-learning context
- most of the (theoretical/case) studies cover badges, points and leaderboards (attracting competitive motivational types) but I am specifically looking for gamification elements adressing learners who are cooperatively motivated
I'm grateful for any hints!
I am preparing research paper that elements of Science TV programs would build the student's creativity in science classes and help their understanding of scientific concepts.
Many thanks...
How can we use data analytics to improve educational outcomes? In what ways can we use data analytics to improve learning and teaching practices? Do you have any links that one can use to pull up literature review on data analytics or learning technologies?
Update: As pointed out, I needed to have specified the educational outcomes as this is a broad word. I will narrow it down to critical thinking and performance on test. I understand that performance on test can capture skills including but not limited to computational skills, problem solving skills, analytical skill and comprehension. So, how do we use technology to track if students are making progress in developing such skills? Thank you all for contributing!
Studies in Learning Styles are quite different in the way they conceive the scope of Learning Styles. For examples, Coffield et al. (2004) identified 5 families of learning styles:
- constitutionally-based learning styles and preferences
- cognitive structure stable
- stable personality type
- ‘flexibly' stable personality type
- learning approaches and strategies.
In each family, there are many models and inventories to examine student's Learning Styles. Coffield et al. gathered these models which are counted to 71 model. I already studied many of these models but I couldn't find any inventory that consider how the students interact in their social network (real life and online) as part of their learning styles. First, do you know any inventory that include this factor? If not, do you consider this thought worth studying?

I am looking mostly for statistical researches that show the level of acceptance between teachers and students in the University level, of using technological tools in the educational process. It would be great also to include results of the educational enrichment that these tools offer.
This question came up when i red a new research from Norway that shows the traditional way of educating students without any technological tools, provides better knowledge to the students.
Everyone agrees, students and teachers, the programming is demanding for students, but the market demands on education, emphasize the need for educating larger number of IT professionals. There are also studies that indicate that learning programming in interesting way (for example, through some graphical tools like Alice, Scratch ...) could help students in developing abstract thinking, without considering their active interests and professional future commitment.
If you know good papers about Learning Analytics in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Please add them below! Thanks!
Are there any criteria or guidelines to develop good test questions? I am looking for a set of well-established criteria upon which test questions can be developed and their quality can be assessed or measured. What are the impact of good and bad test questions on students learning?
