Summary: This study used multimodal learning analytics (MMLA) based on machine learning (ML) to quantify the engagement of peer learning, identify log behaviors, self-regulation, and other factors, and predict online problem-based learning (PBL) performance. The results showed that self-regulation, messages post, message words, and peer learning engagement were predictive of online PBL performance. This study addressed the scarcity of students' process data and provided information on targeted learning strategies in online PBL.

Summary: Virtual Reality games provide an interactive platform for gaming and education for young people. Although some studies have shown the positive effects of VR games on learning, the problematic use of VR games by many users has become a growing concern. This study examined the mediating effect of behavioral desire and the moderating effect of cyber aggression on users' addictive behavior towards VR games, with data collected from 367 users. Results suggest that behavioral desire influences addictive behavior in the presence of a positive flow experience, and both theoretical and practical implications for VR-based games are discussed.

Summary: This study examines the effect of gender and personality differences on students' perception of gamification in education. The results show that gender and personality can affect students' perception of specific game elements. For example, females are more likely to find feedback useful, while students low in extraversion are more likely to find a progress bar useful. The findings can help designers and educators personalize their gamified courses based on personality and gender.

Summary: Different e-learning technologies have different incentive factors that influence behavioral intention. Learners' perceptions and learning behavior may change during the learning period. This study found that the incentive factors influencing behavioral intention differed between CBA and GBA (Kahoot!) in the early stage and fluctuated over the semester. Furthermore, although the CBA class had higher scores than the Kahoot! class for every FA, there was no significant difference in the mid-term and final term scores between the two classes.
