As the demand for distance education increases, it is necessary to present a problem solving path through a learning tracking algorithm in order to support the efficient learning of learners. In this paper, we proposed a problem solving path of various difficulty levels in various subjects by supplementing the existing learning tracking algorithm. Through the data set obtained through the path for solving the learner's problem, the path through the prim's minimum Spanning tree was secured, and the optimal problem solving path through the recursive neural network was suggested through the path data set. As a result of the performance evaluation of the contents proposed in this paper, it was confirmed that more than 52% of the test subjects included the problem solving path suggested in the problem solving process, and the problem solving time was also improved by more than 45%.

All the aspects of human life have been affected by the novel coronavirus (Covid-19). It has rapidly spread in most countries including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, early precautionary actions aiming to minimise the virus effect are taken by the Saudi government. One of these actions is the sudden shift to online classes and suspending the attendees to all educational institutes. Such immediate change can have a significant effect on the educational process, especially for students. One can argue that students' information-seeking behaviour within the current situation can affect their learning quality and outcomes. Therefore, this paper examines the Saudi students' information-seeking behaviour by taking a sample of students from Umm Al-Qura University. A descriptive analysis is conducted with 193 students and two approaches are used to collect data, questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The results showed that the majority of students face difficulties when searching and retrieving e-resources from the university library website. The problems range from mainly poor User Experience (UX), network connection, multiple errors and lack of subscription with academic publishers.

Distance Education is a non-traditional mode of training and can take many forms, one of which is the use of Computer Based Training (CBT). This paper reviews various quality assurance models for designing the delivery of programmes at the universities and other training institutions. It presents the findings of a CBT research that is currently being carried out at the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of the West Indies, Trinidad. The significance of the research is discussed with particular emphasis on the influence of curricula sequencing on knowledge acquisition in learners of varying cognitive styles. The paper concludes that adherence to quality assurance principles could result in the enhanced performance of users of the CBT.

One of the benefits of the internet-assisted instruction is that it can improve L2 Learners' motivation to express themselves in English. The purpose of this paper is to investigate an effective approach to British-American fiction learning in Korean universities, which can emphasize communicative strategies drawing on video-conferencing system, a chat system(CUSeeMe), and an e-mail system. Students are passive participants who cannot assert their creativity in the traditional teaching method of British-American fiction, which mainly relies upon reading and translation far from literature lessons. In CCDL(Cross-cultural distance learning) class, students can play active roles in asserting their own ideas and assuming considerable responsibility for making a presentation in English. A professor can play a role as a coordinator in supporting the students' activities and in winding up the class. The main significance of this article lies in providing a paradigm for CCDL class beyond the limitation of the traditional teaching method of British-American fiction in Korea and futhermore in exploring the eclectic integration of the traditional one and CCDL.

The present research intends to examine how online learners' digital literacy skills affects their learning flow and academic self-efficacy in the universities. The data were collected from a group of 228 students taking online course at the four-year university in Cheonan. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS 29.0 program: descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis. As a result of this study, the digital literacy skills of university students taking cyber lectures were found to have a statistically significant positive correlation with learning flow in online classes and academic self-efficacy. Through this study, it is hoped to provide an opportunity to explore ways to improve learning flow and academic self-efficacy as the problems of non-face-to-face classes. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of online classes, it is hoped to expand educational opportunities such as various research and programs that can improve digital literacy skills.

These days, various and tons of education information are rapidly increasing and spreading due to Internet and smart devices usage. Recently, as e-Learning usage increasing, many instructors and students (learners) need to set a goal to maximize learners' result of education and education system efficiency based on big data analytics via online recorded education historical data. In this paper, the author applied Word2Vec algorithm (neural network algorithm) to find similarity among education words and classification by clustering algorithm in order to objectively recognize and analyze online recorded education historical data. When the author applied the Word2Vec algorithm to education words, related-meaning words can be found, classified and get a similar vector values via learning repetition. In addition, through experimental results, the author proved the part of speech (noun, verb, adjective and adverb) have same shortest distance from the centroid by using clustering algorithm.

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a group coaching program to promote metacognitive learning ability in an academic context for adult learners enrolled at a distance university. The topics and objectives of the group coaching program focused on understanding and applying the elements of 'metacognitive knowledge', and each session was conducted online by integrating 'planing-monitoring-regulating', an element of 'metacognitive regulation', into the REGROW model of coaching. To verify the effectiveness of the program, research participants were recruited from adult university students enrolled in A Cyber University and assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was given the program, while the control group was given the program after the completion of the study. Metacognitive learning ability level and academic self-efficacy were tested before and after the program for both groups, and a satisfaction survey was conducted for the experimental group. Analyses of the data revealed that the experimental group showed higher scores on both the overall and sub-scales of perceived metacognitive learning ability and academic self-efficacy compared to the control group. Participants in the experimental group also reported high satisfaction with the program, increased knowledge of metacognition, awareness and application of metacognitive strategies, and found the group coaching approach beneficial. Based on these findings, implications, and suggestions for future research are presented.

The purpose of this research is to analyze students' perception of smart learning focusing on its definitions, roles and values in distance higher education. In the online survey, 1,950 students of 'A' open university were participated. The results show that the students viewed the smart learning to be more 'absorbing', 'interactive' and 'collaborative' than the existing e-learning, as it compiles their experiences into learning. However, the respondents' perceptions of smart learning varied among different age groups: more students in their 40s and 50s responded that smart learning was 'customized', 'humanlike', 'interactive', 'comfortable', 'stable', 'familiar', 'unstressful', and 'practical' than students in their 20s and 30s, and they tend to view the main feature of smart learning to be the compilation of learner experiences.

This paper is to investigate the efficacy of cyber education by self-assessment strategy. Self-assessment strategy contains self-monitoring function and self-control function. 202 students of online university attended and analyzed with frequency, correlation, t-test, Paired t-test. The major findings were as follows. The learners who experienced self-assessment in the initial stage of class had higher changes in social distance to the mentally disabled people positively than the learners who didn't experienced that. This self-assessment strategy can be assumed that it is effective strategy to improve e-learning efficacy and it will contribute to self-directed education for enhancement of on-line education.
