The difficulty and implementation of online assessment in higher education

The study goal is to look into the difficulties of online assessment in higher education and how it could be implemented. In order to achieve this goal, this study must evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of e-assessment activities based on a review of university experience. Cheating, technology, integrating learning goals, and student adherence to deliver evaluations were all recognized as major concerns in online examinations. The most efficient approach for reducing cheating was shown to be developing different responses for each student. It was also discovered that regulating academic integrity violations through an online presentation was a viable option. Integrating various assessment procedures, such as report submission with an online platform, aids in the reduction of cheating by allowing the examiner to confirm that the submitted work is the student's work

An outline of the professional quality of teachers who teach children with special needs

The term "professional quality of life," sometimes abbreviated as "ProQOL," refers to an individual's evaluation of the positive aspects of his or her working life. This frame may be categorized in two different ways. Compassion Fatigue (CF) is undesirable, yet Compassion Satisfaction (CS) motivates people to feel good about their job and, as a consequence, assist other people. Compassionate fulfillment is one of the most admirable qualities (CS). This study's goal is to get a thorough understanding of ProQOL in the teaching profession for kids with special needs because the great majority of prior research on ProQOL was conducted on health professionals.  This quantitative study did not use any type of experimental approach, yet it included the participation of 171 students with special needs educators. The obtained data indicate that teachers of students with special needs have a generally favorable perception regarding the environment in which they work. To provide one illustration: To mention one specific example, this does not always indicate that there are low incidences of STS or burnout. The majority of students with special needs teachers (77%) were operating at a level of burnout that was classified as Medium-High, and the majority of those instructors (72%) also had an STS level that was classified as Medium-High. The study recommended using the appropriate programs that raise the teachers’ professional levels to match the requirements of teaching students with special needs

Utilizing business intelligence and digital transformation and leadership to enhance employee job satisfaction and business added value in greater Amman municipality

The goal of this study was to find out how business intelligence systems, AI, and digital leadership affect how satisfied employees are with their jobs and how much value they add to companies in the Greater Amman Municipality. After the study samples were taken and looked at, a total of 246 samples were approved to be used in the PLS software-based analysis. The results of this study showed that putting in place business intelligence tools, artificial intelligence, and digital leadership all made employees happier with their jobs and gave businesses more value. The research showed that there are four key parts to digital leadership: commander, communicator, collaborator, and co-creator. The main parts of business intelligence are Data Warehouse, Data Mining, Business Process Management, and Competitive Intelligence. Findings show that digital transformation is made up of three key parts: changing processes, developing business models, and changing domains. The results also show that an employee's level of job satisfaction, which includes things like business success, work commitment, and job thinking, is linked to how much value they add to the company. Intriguingly, the current results go against those of earlier studies, which said that the variables of interest have no effect on how happy employees are with their jobs or how much value companies add for their customers. When the results of this study are looked at as a whole, they say that businesses should start doing things that make employees happier at work and increase the value of the business. The current study is innovative because it focuses on the most important parts of business intelligence, artificial intelligence, and digital leadership in order to improve employee satisfaction at work and the quality of business learning with added value in Greater Amman Municipality

The effect of groups’ reference, usefulness perception, and products quality on intention to buy and online shopping decision

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate how group reference, perceived usefulness, and product quality influence online shoppers' desire to purchase and final purchase decisions. Multiple methods of quantitative analysis and processing of data are used to evaluate and validate the study's hypotheses. Using a Structural Equation Model, the study's theories were tested and analyzed. Customers of digital market websites in Jordan participated in this study by responding to an online poll. Data was compiled from 220 study questionnaires using a systematic sampling strategy. Data analysis with the Structural Equation Model revealed significant favorable effects of group reference, perceived usefulness, and product quality on both purchase intent and final online purchase decisions. The authors chose to center their study around the perspectives, comments, attitudes, and impressions of groups of individuals. Perceived usefulness can be gauged along the aspects of experience, enjoyment, and subjective norm. The words customer expectations, real product specifications, and the quality of the service received all shed light on the product's quality. The originality of this study rests in the model that was created to explain the relationship between group reference, perceived usefulness of products, and product quality as they relate to purchase intent and digital market website use in Jordan

The importance of effective learning technology utilization, teacher leadership, student engagement, and curriculum in the online learning environment

Research has shown the effect of student engagement, teacher leadership, and curriculum on the effectiveness of the use of learning technologies and the online learning environment. The study included a total of 382 samples that included both teachers and students. Survey respondents are qualified teachers with at least 10 years of teaching experience, as determined through sampling. Participants responded to a study questionnaire that was used to collect data. Data were collected using Smart PLS software, which included validity and reliability assessments and hypothesis tests. The results of the study indicated that the dissemination of learning technology is directly affected by teacher leadership and student participation, which affects its effectiveness. Instructor leadership, student engagement, and successful use of learning technologies directly impact the online learning environment. The use of learning technology is influenced by teacher leadership, curriculum, and student engagement, which ultimately impacts the online learning environment. This study suggests two main results. To enhance the efficiency of learning technology deployment, the focus of public policy should be on enhancing teacher leadership and student performance. Moreover, enhancing the efficient use of learning technology is a critical policy goal to improve the quality of the online learning environment. Students and teachers with enhanced skills should collaborate to share their technological learning materials and management practices to improve students' online learning experiences. Subsequently, modifications were made to the curriculum and there was an increase in teacher leadership

Using a quantitative method, a sample of 181 users was utilized, and an instrument of 32 items was used. Findings revealed that price value, hedonic motivations, social influence, performance expectancy and perceived trust are major predictors of users' intention to use e-wallets apps. In contrast, facilitating conditions and effort expectancy are not significant toward the adoption process. Finally, conclusions and future work are presented in the last section of the study

Game-based student e-learning experience: Empirical evidence from private universities in Jordan

This study investigates the impact of game-based (gamification) e-Learning techniques on students' engagement, thereby, their satisfaction with e-learning in Jordanian private universities. A conceptual model was developed based on existing empirical evidence from the literature. Data was then collected through a self-administered questionnaire survey from 198 private university students, who were conveniently selected for the study.
