Summary: The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of affective pedagogical agent (PA) and student-generated explanation on learners' affective processing, visual attention, and learning outcomes. The results showed that students who learned with a positive PA paid more attention to relevant elements of the materials and performed better on learning outcomes than those who learned with a neutral PA. Self-explanation facilitated visual processing and learning outcomes. Positive PA accompanying self-explanation increased intrinsic motivation and resulted in best learning performance.

Summary: This study aimed to design and develop a set of open, interactive digital Learning Objects (LOs) for high school Physical Education (PE), and evaluate them by experienced PE teachers. The study found that the LOs were adequate in terms of interactivity, design, engagement, usability, and usefulness, with constructivist-oriented LOs outperforming instructivist-oriented LOs in terms of interactivity, engagement, and usefulness in PE teaching. The study provides useful guidance for future design and development of LOs for PE.

Summary: Social network analysis involves complex and abstract mathematical concepts that are challenging to learn through traditional methods. Research shows that female students underperform in computer science-related courses compared to male students. This study investigates the impact of using a web-based interactive programming tool, Jupyter notebooks, on improving conceptual understanding and course outcomes for female students. Results indicate that Jupyter improved engagement and enjoyment, leading to better perception of learning outcomes and knowledge.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of using learning analytics to support students' autonomy and competence needs in a blended learning environment. The findings show that teachers' adaptation based on learning analytics positively influences students' satisfaction with the adapted learning environment. However, students' basic psychological needs vary depending on the face-to-face workshop subject. The study emphasizes the importance of thoughtful blended learning course design and provides recommendations for effective learning analytics utilization in university settings.

Summary: This article introduces a shortened version of the European Commission's SELFIE tool for measuring the digital capacity of schools. Two shorter measurement instruments, called midi-SELFIE and mini-SELFIE, are proposed based on the original tool. The validity and uses of these shortened versions are explored through various cases and compared to the complete instrument. The results suggest that the shortened versions of SELFIE are reliable alternatives for specific purposes.
