Summary: Due to Covid-19 measures, a lack of educational methods is a concern for professionals who find gamification important for student engagement in learning. This study used an Android-based gamification app to evaluate the effect of gamification and e-quizzes on college students' learning, showing that gamified e-quizzes are more effective than paper-based quizzes in assessing student performance. Instructors are encouraged to use games as a modern and innovative tool for engaging students in learning.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of gamification on learning outcomes and course engagement in a computer programming course. The findings indicate no significant difference between gamified and nongamified approaches in terms of learning and course engagement. Although gamification can increase the number of quizzes completed, it does not directly enhance learning. Additionally, the overall impact of quiz completion on learning is more pronounced when considering all participants, and gamification may only be suitable for short-term activities and may not engage all students.

Summary: This study developed four online interfaces supporting citizen participation in decision-making. It found that learning loops and gamification increased drop-out rate, and experience was more influenced by the satisfaction of basic psychological needs than by the interface itself, which was moderated by respondents' causality orientations. Learning loops increased challenge, while gamification enhanced social experience and playfulness.

Summary: Previous research has shown successful results in using online tools to improve students' academic achievement, particularly in the use of online formative quizzes. However, little research has been done on the effects of weekly formative online exams on students' academic achievement, specifically in engineering courses. This study aimed to investigate whether the method of weekly quiz application had an effect on engineering students' academic achievement. The results showed that the experimental group, who used online quizzes on the Course Portal, had significantly better academic achievement than the control group who solved quizzes on paper. These findings suggest that weekly online exams have a significant impact on students' academic achievement.

Summary: Organizational ambidexterity is a strategic challenge for contemporary organizations that involves the simultaneous pursuit of exploitative and explorative learning. Depending on the form adopted, these activities can be carried out asynchronously or synchronously. Social and organizational capital are central to pursuing exploration, exploitation, and ambidexterity directly, while human capital plays a significant role in supporting other types of knowledge assets. Social capital also plays a dual role in supporting organizational capital and being central in the pursuit of ambidexterity outcomes.

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.
