“…When understanding programming logic and languages, a user may access more resources and tools to perform specific data analytic processes. The more programming skills, the better a user can analyze data with efficiency and clarity (Counsell & Cribbie, 2020;Tenório, Lopes, Góis, & Dos Santos Junior, 2019). Database management is also important because this helps collect and store data safely for its usage in the future.…”

This paper discusses various types of misleading statistical information in marketing promotion and explains why it is harmful for customers. The paper also studies the customers’ attitudes to such misinformation and capabilities of managing it. A survey was used to collect data from 210 respondents’ attitudes to analyzing data when purchasing products and 2) studied whether these respondents could properly evaluate such information found in promotional messages. The respondents were students in a university and they were supposed to have sufficient mathematical and logical capabilities of managing statisical information. Respondents showed positive attitudes to data investigation involved in the purchase decision although they lacked the relevant knowledge to process the misleading statisical information. In general, they might not make correct decisions in various deceptive situations. Relevant product information is usually necessary for customers when they have to consider and buy important products. Statistical information can support objective decision making but the misleading one is harmful for customers. More statistical knowledge and other relevant skills are required to enhance the ability of processing misleading information in marketing promotion. The paper suggests a number ways to acquire such knowledge and skills.

“…Lingots were awarded for learning skills, going up levels, and long streaks (playing many days in a row) and could be used to unlock a bonus skill, a timed-practice option, a progress quiz, or a power-up. Another version of virtual currency, eCoins, was used in a Statistics course [30] in combination with levels, progress feedback, time pressure and pathways. The number of eCoins awarded for a successful attempt was a function of the experience points and the difficulty level of the attempted task.…”

While the motivational effect of educational gamification is largely recognized, the impact of the gamification element virtual currency (VC) is underexplored, especially in an educational setting. To address this gap, the goal of the presented multi-case empirical study was to systematically explore the impact of virtual currency on learners’ engagement, motivation, and academic performance across different contexts and to uncover potentially generalizable results. Accordingly, this paper presents the outcomes of a multi-perspective analysis of students’ experiences in out-of-class practicing in a learning environment gamified with VC and the effect of this game element. The work builds on previous case studies with analogical goals, which the authors have conducted in different contexts, including the university type, student population, subject area, etc. The provided comprehensive cross-case analysis integrates and extends the previous results tracing the path to generalizable knowledge about the potential of VC. While the results of this multi-case study demonstrate a significant increase in student engagement in out-of-class practicing gamified with virtual currency, they fail to show a significant increase in students’ intrinsic motivation and students’ final course grades. This study is a step forward in enhancing our understanding of the multifaceted effect of virtual currency on learners’ experience.

“…LMSs are widely used as a "repository of files" and few teachers explore their potential and didacticpedagogical possibilities (Tenório et al, 2019). In turn, students reveal some common concerns such as: when they should enroll in the course; if the enrollment of the traditional class already guarantees access to the LMS; which credentials to use to join the LMS; about the activities and the deadline for delivery; about the locations and times available for access to the LMS; how to communicate with teachers and how to deliver activities.…”

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are mainly used as a didactic support for the presential classes. However, because of the tools they provide, they are also essential to support b-learning and e-learning process. Because of this, most universities rely on some LMS through many or all of the courses. This paper describes a study performed in two different universities regarding the students' perception about the usefulness and the usability of two different LMS: Moodle and Sakai. Through a focus group, students shared their opinion and discussed about their experience. In addition, data from the log of the platforms was also analysed, to assess how teachers use the LMS tools. In general, it can be stated that when the teacher knows how to use the LMS, students feel more comfortable using it and have a better learning experience. Regarding the tools, teachers mostly rely on the repository of documents.
