Blended synchronous learning (BSL) has become increasingly prominent in lifelong education due to its flexibility in enabling simultaneous onsite and online participation. However, enhancing the experience and satisfaction of adult learners in this context remains a challenge. This study primarily used structural equation modelling to examine the interrelationships among key factors that contribute to learner satisfaction. Data were collected from an online survey of 494 remote adult learners, reflections from 27 learners, and interviews with 23 learners, all in a BSL context at a Chinese open university. The results indicated that the perception of technological effectiveness (TE) significantly and positively influenced teaching presence (TP), social presence (SP), self-regulated learning presence (SRLP), cognitive presence (CP), and overall satisfaction (SAT). SP acted as a crucial mediator between TP and both SRLP and CP, as well as SAT. SRLP positively impacted CP, which in turn positively affected SAT. The influence of TE, SP, SRLP, TP, and CP on SAT was observed in descending order of impact. Theoretically, this study enhances the Community of Inquiry framework by exploring the interrelationships among its dimensions within the context of adult BSL learning, emphasizing the critical role of social presence in promoting learning satisfaction. The study identifies three key factors for optimal BSL implementation: the necessity of a stable and reliable technological infrastructure, the importance of cultivating a strong sense of social presence as a central element of effective pedagogical strategies, and the need to emphasize the development of self-regulated learning abilities among remote adult learners.
The open and distance education is a hybrid of synchronous and asynchronous learning. This study examines the impact of synchronous live class on online course learning behavior from the perspective of learning data analysis to offer insight to further guide the integrated learning design and implementation of adult learners' synchronous and asynchronous learning. Using online course learning log data and the interactive text generated from the course learning interaction at an Open University School in central China, this study analyzes descriptive statistics of live class learning and mines learners' emotions and attitudes towards it. In particular, this study uses participation in the live class as the classification variable, analyzes the depth, breadth and persistence of learners' online course learning behavior performance, and examines the correlation between these learning behavior performance and grades. The analyses demonstrate that learners have a positive attitude towards live class learning and have learning disabilities. Moreover, participation in live class has a positive effect on asynchronous learning performance. Participation in live class promotes the occurrence of learners' online course learning behavior, and correlation between learning behavior performance and grades. Chinese instant messaging program Tencent QQ and other Instant messenger tools were useful for the adult learners' smoothly online learning.
As an innovative evaluation tool, peer assessment is essential in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In both formative and summative peer assessments in MOOCs, providing reliable feedback is crucial in enhancing learning outcomes. Peer assessment has been highlighted as a reliable tool in both traditional classrooms and small-scale online learning contexts by a wealth of studies. Factors impacting the result of peer assessment have also been identified. However, such exploration in MOOCs is very limited. Through an examination of 5,722 assignment submissions and 56,794 review scores collected from 18 peer assessments in three courses on Chinese University MOOC platform, this study investigated the inter-reliability of peer assessment in MOOCs utilizing Krippendorff's alpha and ICC[1]. It also revealed factors affecting peer assessment reliability in MOOCs. The results of this study show that students tended to mark extreme scores, and peer assessment in MOOCs seemed unreliable. In addition, the reliability of the peer assessment in these MOOCs was inversely correlated to the number of reviewers per assignment and reviews completed per reviewer. The assignment type also matters; peer assessment using e-portfolios format was found more reliable than those using papers and proposals. Suggestions on how to improve the reliability of peer assessments in MOOCs are also provided. What is already known about this topic What the paper adds Implications for practice and/or policy

Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic Both the formative and summative peer assessment mode, providing reliable feedback is needed, which is of great value for improving the quality of online learning. The reliability and influence factors of peer assessment has been highlighted by a wealth of studies in traditional classrooms and small-scale online learning contexts. There are still limited explorations in MOOCs. What the paper adds The students tended to give extreme scores in peer assessment in MOOC, and the peer assessment in MOOC may was not particularly reliable. The Assignment type being rated affected the reliability, and peer assessment using e-portfolios format was found more reliable than those using papers and proposals. The reliability of peer assessment in MOOC was negative related to the number of reviewers per assignment and the reviews completed per reviewer. Implications for practice and/or policy Avoid using peer assessment as a summative assessment method, and should be assigned relatively low weights to final grades. Using papers and proposals as learning assignments can appropriately reduce the proportion of peer assessment in the final grade. Training on how to identify medium quality work should be provided. Instructional strategies should be designed to encourage learners to actively participate in peer assessments and thoroughly assess.

为探究匿名与量规对基于SPOC的混合式同伴互评投入度的影响,文章以C学院400名学生为研究对象,设计了"2(匿名,实名)×2(有量规、无量规)"双因素独立实验.研究发现:SPOC学习中同伴互评投入度水平排序为行为投入>认知投入>情感投入,并且匿名会影响同伴互评的行为投入;然而,匿名与量规对行为投入影响的交互效应不显著,但是学习者的认知投入度与情感投入度受到评估者匿名与量规的交互影响.基于此,文章建议教师多关注学习者参与互评时的认知投入度与情感投入度,在匿名互评时为学习者提供量规,同时采取其它相关措施提高学习者的行为投入度,以更有效地组织和开展混合式教学中的同伴互评.
In order to explore the influence of signature form and rubric on the online peer assessment's engagement, this paper designed a two-factor mixed experiment of 2 (anonymous, real name) × 2 (with rubric, no-rubric) with 379 students from C College as the research object. The statistical analysis was carried out from the three dimensions of behavioral engagement, cognitive engagement and emotional engagement of learners participating in peer assessment. The study found learner's behavioral engagement in the real-name form is higher than the anonymous, and has nothing to do with whether or not to provide the rubric. However, in anonymous situation, the online peer assessment's cognitive engagement and emotional engagement with rubric are significantly higher than without the rubric. Therefore, it is recommended that teaching practitioners provide rubric when using anonymous peer assessment, but other relevant measures should be taken to improve learners' behavioral engagement.
There is an impending need for an intelligent system to organize the large amount of information currently present in the World Wide Web (WWW). It has become humanely impossible to retrieve, sort and organize the surplus information in the WWW. Semantic web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which web content is organized meaningfully in a structured format using web ontology language (OWL), thus permitting them to find, share and integrate information more easily. This paper presents a methodology to design a self organized system to retrieve information about a particular topic with the pre requisites needed to assimilate the topic that the user is interested in learning and the further readings related to the topic are also listed in the search. For this, a knowledge library for DBMS domain is created using ontology and knowledge management technologies and then a strategy is devised to group the relevant prerequisites and present it to the user in a single search. The effectiveness

Teachers' online teaching behaviors affect learners' course evaluation and learning experience. This study set out with the following hypotheses: (a) teachers' dominant behaviors are positively correlated with learners' course evaluation; (b) teachers' support behaviors are positively correlated with learners' course evaluation; ? teachers' managerial behaviors are positively correlated with learners' course evaluation. Using the methods of natural language processing and content analysis to mine learners' opinions from their online comments, the study designed an abstract model of learners' opinions and a code table of teaching behaviors. It then used LTP interdependence syntactic analysis to identify opinion sentences, extract attribution and opinion words based on rules and code relevant ideas of teaching behaviors. Analysis of the correlations between teachers' teaching behaviors and learners' course evaluation shows that teachers' dominant behaviors (lecturing, instruction and demonstration) \\\are positively correlated with learners' course evaluation, teachers' support behaviors (evaluation, feedback and technical guidance) are weakly correlated with learners' course evaluation, and teachers' managerial behaviors (group discussion, course management and supplementary learning resource management) are positively correlated with learners' course evaluation. Suggestions are also discussed on teachers' online teaching behaviors.
