“…As a result, we observe a significant positive effect on the learning quality and user perception when using an interactive video. We thereby contribute to research in two ways: First we bridge the research gap identified by Strecker et al (2018), who state that "no specific measurement instrument exists that measures the learning performance or other benefits from interactive videos" [5]. Second, we…”

The use of information systems and the rise of new learning concepts have changed the way individuals are acquiring knowledge in organizational, educational and private contexts. Recently, video tutorials have become a widely-used instrument for learning and successful platforms emerged, offering massive open online courses based on video content. With the existence of different learning technologies the question arises: How these media formats affect the learning performance of individuals? We introduce interactive videos as a new media format and compare this technology to hypertext documents in an educational context. Our results from an experiment with 130 participants reveal that the learning quality can be significantly increased when interactive videos are used to acquire procedural knowledge. However, we did not observe any effect on time effort.

“…Utilization of online media conducted by lecturers is a solution that integrates knowledge with technology. Digital learning connects the real world with digital in the learning process (Faustmann et al, 2019)and provides meaningful learning experiences for students (Strecker et al, 2018).The use of online media can be applied by prospective teacher students (Faustmann et al, 2019)or prospective lecturers in conducting learning because digital learning guarantees equitable access by heterogeneous user groups through interaction, communication, and knowledge sharing (Faustmann et al, 2019).…”

Qualitative research methodology courses become a provision for postgraduate students to carry out research, as one of the three obligations of college. The course is a new subject and most students had never practiced it and had never been familiar with the concepts. The aims of the study is to analyzed the causes of learning difficulties and solutions carried out by students and by lecturers in qualitative research methodology courses. This study used a qualitative research approach with a case study design. Data were obtained from questionnaires and interviews with 20 postgraduate students of biology education, Universitas Negeri Malang. Data processing consists of: data reduction, data presentation, and making conclusions. The students experienced main problems in understanding the teaching materials used because it was written in English and the methods in various qualitative studies tend to be similar so causing confusion. Various solutions are carried out by students, for example: conducting discussions, compiling concept maps, and conducting qualitative research practices. Supporting lecturers have main difficulty in assessment. Lecturers take advantage of online media to facilitate assessment. The findings of this study provided alternative solutions for lecturers and students who take qualitative research methodology courses in order to minimize the constraints.

“…In the case of higher education, the traditional forms of learning and teaching can be innovated by a variety of different EdTech approaches ranging from an educational curriculum outside the classroom to a course, program, or degree completely delivered online. The concrete combination of education and technology is determined by four key features [11] that focus on the specific nature of the technology that is provided [12]: 1) Interaction: The possibility to interact with each other.…”

Digital and networked technologies infiltrate all aspects of our lives, and thus also how we are consuming and providing knowledge. In particular, digital learning platforms connect the real with the digital place for learning and teaching. They allow for an innovative combination of different learning concepts and learning structures through the consistent use of the possibilities of digitalization. Furthermore, digital learning platforms democratize education because they ensure equal access by heterogeneous user groups through interaction, communication, and sharing of knowledge. Our paper investigates which factors affect the successful use of such platforms for both knowledge consumers and knowledge providers. In particular, we examine the motivations of learners and teachers based on a literature review and an empirical study (N=486). If all participants are taken into consideration, there are various supporting factors but also obstacles to the successful implementation of digital learning platforms. The main goal behind our approach is to understand and describe what contributes to a successful participation in such platforms. As a next step, these success factors might be translated into a set of requirements for a digital learning platform.
