“…Film/video and audio-only serious games have become very popular in this context, being broadly employed in modern education applications [61][62][63], with the audio track being considered critical in shaping the pace and the atmosphere of the digital narrations and interactions [54,[62][63][64]. Nonetheless, seamless interactivity is nowadays granted and deployed through the Web, allowing students to pick up and control their own learning pace and space [47,65]. Overall, to serve the above functionalities, someone needs access to audiovisual capturing and editing software along with gaming and web authoring tools.…”

The present paper focuses on digital storytelling in education, emphasizing the teachers’ needs for familiarization with the new technological conditions. A transmedia integration approach is deployed to make productive, blended learning values while utilizing the availability of tools and reusable media assets in a component-based software engineering kind of framework. The topic is inspired by social studies and humanities, which seem to be marginalized, usually failing to make effective technological facilities, benefits, and contemporary findings. It is, therefore, necessary to modernize the approach to literary things and integrate digital means into the educational process, even in cases where a sole educator on humanities and social studies lacks multidisciplinary support in multimedia authoring and software engineering. This modernization can be made possible by introducing user-friendly tools into the process, representing not just a fashion of the time but mostly a renewal trend, aiming at revitalizing the course to attract and engage learners. Undoubtedly, today’s pupils have grown up with technological means, becoming familiar with their use so their implication causes undiminished interest in most daily activities, including schooling. In this high-tech generation, it is absurd to address the transmission of knowledge and values in outdated ways. Apart from adapting to the timely students’ needs, lesson plans on transmedia storytelling practices can also satisfy tutors, triggering their inspiration and co-creation potentials. Overall, the project aims to attract the trainees’ interest with the help of digital tools, which will be embodied in the educational processes by teachers without technical know-how, while continuously adapting to the audience’s needs. Research hypothesis and questions are formed as part of the deployed human-centered interactive design, aiming at modeling best practices for teaching classical topics, such as the “Odyssey.”

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between prospective Turkish teachers' internet based reading motivation and engagement and mobile learning attitude. In this context, the opinions of 197 pre-service teachers from different grade levels of Pre-Service Turkish Language Teachers of a state university in the west of Turkey were consulted. Relational screening method, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. "Internet Based Reading Motivation and Engagement Scale" and "Mobile Learning Attitude Scale" were used as data collection tools in the research. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the internet-based reading motivation and engagement of the participants were at a medium-level. In addition, it was concluded that the mobile learning attitudes of the participants were at a high level. Considering the whole and sub-dimensions of the internetbased reading motivation and engagement scale, no significant difference could be reached according to the variables of gender, grade level and the average time spent on the internet in a day. No significant difference was reached in the sub-dimensions of internet-based reading motivation and interactions as a whole, competence, difficulty and dedication, according to the variable of academic standing. Considering the whole scale among mobile learning attitudes, there was no significant difference in terms of gender, grade level, academic achievement, annual average book reading and average time spent on the internet in a day. According to research findings, there is a weak, positive and significant relationship between prospective Turkish teachers' internet based reading motivation and engagement and mobile learning attitude.

“…Needs analysis is an important theoretical basis for teaching practices such as formulating teaching policies, designing syllabi, planning teaching contents, selecting teaching methods, and implementing teaching assessments in courses [9][10]. Given that course teaching should be conducive to students' individualized learning to meet their respective different professional development needs as well as to meet the needs of social development [11][12]. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the data for students' individualized learning needs in the same online teaching environment in order to develop more effective individualized smart teaching strategies [13][14].…”

With the deep integration of the Internet and education, the personalized development of education has become a new trend in education, and it also increasingly emphasizes the learner’s subject position in learning. In this study, a smart teaching model for learners’ individuality is developed by integrating WEB data mining technology, SOM neural network, and multiple recommendation mechanisms. The model achieves personalized recommendations for learning resources through the collection of user characteristics and then according to the recommendation algorithm. Then, using college English courses at Zhengzhou Shengda University as an example, the SOM neural network is utilized to diagnose the teaching cognition of the experiment. The experimental results show that the SOM neural network cognitive diagnosis results in a high judgment rate, with a high judgment rate of 84.842%. It has certain feasibility in teaching small sample diagnostics. In terms of efficiency, the time of cognitive diagnosis can be controlled within 1 second, which is real-time in teaching applications. The significance test of students’ performance after the experiment shows that the personalized wisdom teaching model constructed in this paper has a significant effect on improving teaching performance.
