“…In fact, many institutions and governments have developed strategies in order to integrate ICT with pedagogical methods [6,7]. In this context, the adaptation of pedagogical systems and the incorporation of ICT innovations are essential to the survival of many educational institutions [8,9]. Nevertheless, the involvement of three factors is required in order to achieve efficient and effective use of ICT for educational purposes [10]: (1) the academic community; (2) educational structures; and (3) legislation.…”

This study focuses on students’ behavioral intention to use Open Source Software (OSS). The article examines how students, who were trained in OSS, are motivated to continue using it. A conceptual model based on Self-Determination Theory and the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) was defined in order to test the behavioral intention to use OSS, comprising six constructs: (1) autonomy, (2) competence, (3) relatedness, (4) perceived ease of use, (5) perceived usefulness and (6) behavioral intention to use. A survey was designed for data collection. The participants were recent secondary school graduates, and all of them had received mandatory OSS training. A total of 352 valid responses were used to test the proposed structural model, which was performed using the Lisrel software. The results clearly confirmed the positive influence of the intrinsic motivations; autonomy and relatedness, to improve perceptions regarding the usefulness and ease of use of OSS, and; therefore, on behavioral intention to use OSS. In addition, the implications and limitations of this study are considered.

“…The educational world in general is no exception; the development of technology has changed the concepts of distance, time and place, giving way to new practices and realities in every academic discipline and branch of knowledge [1]. This is illustrated by many examples in universities all over the world, Saudi Arabia [2], Spain [3], Portugal [4] or Korea [5].…”

Education has been integrated into the globalization process supported by technological advances such as e-learning. The sustainability of the universities is one of the key points of the university survival, and they strongly depend on the number of students that can enroll in them. Thus, many of the educational institutions have had to develop their curricula based on the use new technologies. Without a doubt, virtual laboratories are the latest technology in this regard. The objective of this work is to determine which are the main institutions and research trends in relation to virtual laboratories. The methodology followed in this research was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the whole scientific production indexed in Scopus. The world’s scientific production has been analysed in the following domains: first the trend over time, types of publications and countries, second the main subjects and keywords, third main institutions and their main topics, and fourth the main journals and proceedings that publish on this topic. After that, a case study was analysed in detailed as a representative country (Spain). The most productive institution in this field, Universidad de Educación a Distancia (UNED). If the ranking is established by average citations per published paper, the first three institutions are from the USA: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Washington (Seattle), and Carnegie Mellon University. The scientific categories at world level and in the case of study are similar. First, there is the field of engineering followed by computer science and above all it highlights the wide spectrum of branches of knowledge in which this topic is published, which indicates the great acceptance of this teaching methodology in all fields of education. Finally, community detection has been applied to the case study and six clusters have been found: Virtual Reality, Users, E-learning, Programming, Automatic-robotics, Computer Simulation and Engineering Education. As a main conclusion, bibliographic analysis confirms that research in virtual laboratories is a very active field, where scientific productivity has exponentially increased over recent years in tandem with universities growth. Therefore, expectations are high in this field for the near future. The possibility of virtual laboratories opens up new perspectives for higher education sustainability, where the educational policies of countries could be reoriented.

“…Lastly, future studies need to design and conduct comprehensive analysis by implementing comparative surveys to students who live in various nations and who are studying for different majors, such as engineering, social sciences, humanities and the arts, and natural sciences. For example, numerous universities have been seeking to raise their international reputation assessed in several institutional evaluations (e.g., the Times Higher Education [THE] World Ranking, the Quacquarelli Symonds [QS] World University Ranking, and Shanghai's Academic Ranking of World Universities [ARWU]) by promoting programs for international students and faculty exchanges ( Kang & Park, 2017 ). These comparative studies of Korean and international students could be strategically critical for universities in Asia and other regions, which may undervalue international reputation in the post-coronavirus era.…”
