“…A fundamental issue of online learning courses is to maintain the active participation and engagement of students, avoiding dropout [17,18]. This is fundamental for all education levels in the context of a forced shift to online learning due to the pandemic.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic situation in 2020 forced educational institutions worldwide to fully adopt online learning for both teaching and assessment. However, this change may lead to less satisfactory learning outcomes, if the online technologies used have not been adequately applied. This study compares student engagement and performance through online continuous assessment in a one-semester structural analysis course for undergraduate architecture students before and after the pandemic outbreak. Online continuous assessment assignments had already been deployed and validated in the course evaluation system before the outbreak, and they were further leveraged during the online course. These assignments consisted of three weekly Moodle questionnaires throughout each of the fifteen course weeks, which determined the continuous assessment score. More than 200 students participated in each period. The results showed that shifting to online education affected continuous assessment outcomes very little in terms of participation rates and student performance. The possible underlying causes for the slight differences found between the two academic years are also discussed. The results highlight the robustness of the continuous assessment method used and emphasize the importance of having developed and validated online learning procedures to broach learning activities if contingency situations are required.

In recent years, the enhancement in technology has been envisioning for people to complete tasks in an easier way. Every manufacturing industry requires heavy machinery to accomplish tasks in a symmetric and systematic way, which is much easier with the help of advancement in the technology. The technological advancement directly affects human life as a result. It is found that humans are now fully dependent on it. The online game industry is one example of technology breakthrough. It is now a prominent industry to develop online games at world level. In this paper, our main objective is to analyze major factors which encourage mobile games industry to expand. Analyzing the system and symmetric relations inside can be done into two phases. The first phase is through a TAM Model, which is a very efficient way to solve statistical problems, and the second phase is with machine learning (ML) techniques, such as SVM, logistic regression, etc. Both strategies are popular and efficient in analyzing a system while maintaining the symmetry in a better way. Therefore, according to results from both the TAM model and ML approach, it is clear that perceived usefulness, attitude, and symmetric flow are important factors for game industry. The analytics provide a clear insight that perceived usefulness is an important parameter over behavior intention for the online mobile game industry.

“…In the same vein, the finding of Coldwell et al (2008) also confirm that lack of participatory classrooms is significant in the negative direction to the students' academic performance. On the other hand, consistent participation in classes has been found as the major characteristics of top performer students in universities (Voghoei et al, 2019). Abubakar et al (2017) also support this by saying that collaborative engagement among students and between students and lecturers promotes students' success.…”

Various indications, including literature, have confirmed that university classrooms are still mostly inactive and undemocratic, dominated by instructors and lecturers. That is, little or no atmosphere is created for the student to be a socially active participant in generating knowledge which appears to have affected their sociality in the university and their lives after their university education. Some university lecturers still use a traditional or a systematic colonized way of teaching. This study responded by proposing unabridged Social Constructivism (SC) to create socially active university students towards becoming productive and active citizens. This was done by answering a general question: How can SC be projected in the university classroom to create active and productive students? This study was located within a transformative paradigm in order to transform students’ inactiveness in the process of generating knowledge. Conceptual analysis was used to design the study. This was done within the principle of thematic analysis by arranging SC's assumptions into themes and making sense of them. The study thus presents that SC possesses the acumen to assist lecturers in ensuring that their classrooms are socially active towards student productivity both in the schools and in the field of work.
