“…The use of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has risen exponentially in academia, due to government incentives and to meet students' anticipations (Dunn & Kennedy, 2019). Technology is being used for academic administration and student self-service, through applications such as student's life cycle management (Wang et al, 2018), learning management systems, MOOCs, integrated digital-based assessment (Barana et al, 2016) and attendance management system (Ofelia et al, 2017). Online learning and MOOCs were found to reduce the higher education costs for students (Deming et al, 2015) and students were found to have a positive perception towards integrating ICT in the classroom (Vahedi et al, 2019).…”

There has been increasing interest among researchers to understand the negative effects of technology, in the last two decades. Technostress or stress induced due to technology is extensively reported in the literature, among working professionals. Even though there has been an increased proliferation of digital devices in academia, there is a dearth of studies examining the prevalence of technostress and its impact among students. This study examines the prevalence of technostress among the younger population, in the age group of 18–28 years. Using a sample of 673 Indian private university students, this study cross-validated the technostress instrument. Increased use of technology in higher education has compelled students to complete all their academic work, including assessments, using technology. Technology-enhanced learning applications such as learning management systems, MOOCs and digital exam devices require students to develop ICT skills. The study also investigates the impact of technostress on the academic productivity of students. Findings reveal that the technostress instrument is valid to be used in the academic context, with minor modifications, and students experienced moderate levels of technostress. It was also found that technostress had a negative impact on the academic productivity of students.

“…The working methods were the following: in each lesson, part of the time was devoted to the exploration of the Maple ACE led by the teachers; in the remaining time, the students had the opportunity to work independently in the resolution of proposed exercises, so as to become familiar with the system; no homework tasks were assigned. All course materials and activities were made available to students through a Moodle platform integrated with the Maple ACE [9][10][11]. In the last 5 hours of the course, dedicated to problem solving with an ACE, students were asked to work in groups or individually on the creation of an interactive worksheet involving a STEM discipline of their interest and to submit it as a final evaluation test.…”

“…In line with this, several initiatives were seized over the last years, with different goals and objectives. A first example is represented by Orient@mente, which provides all secondary school students with support in the preparation for the university and in a more informed choice of the academic path, by an open and free online platform (Barana, Bogino, Fioravera, Floris, Marchisio, 2018a;Barana et al, 2017a;Barana, Bogino, Fioravera, Marchisio, Rabellino, 2016a). The project Start@Unito pursues orientation purposes and offers a link between university and secondary school.…”

The phenomenon of globalization that concerns the modern era, pushed by technological evolution, has led to several changes in the field of education. Not only are education policies of the single States adapting by directing towards European models: the possibility for a student to choose a university is increasing all over the world, too. In order to facilitate students who want to enroll at a European university and who come from countries with less than 12 years of compulsory schooling, our University designed the Foundation Programme. This is an additional year that allows to earn 60 ECTS to reach the 12 years of schooling, a basic requirement for university access in Europe. The main feature of this project is that it is delivered online; this allows to reduce the costs of enrollment and allows students to attend it directly from home in their country. The design, structure and methodologies of the project are described and discussed in this article.
