BackgroundPeer influence is a significant determinant in shaping students' academic performance, yet it is often overlooked in traditional educational strategies. The ability to analyze peer influence and collaboration is an important piece in personalizing student educational experiences.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate how peer interactions can be used to predict students' achievement levels and create clusters...

Despite the health risks associated with air pollution and the availability of data, public awareness of air quality remains limited. This paper examines communication strategies to enhance awareness in Germany and North Macedonia. Using the Design-Based Implementation Research approach, literature reviews, stakeholder interviews and surveys were conducted with 307 participants to identify knowledge gaps and...

This paper introduces an extensive dataset on air pollution monitoring, collected through a crowd sensing IoT platform. The dataset contains real-time measurements of various pollutants, including PM2.5, PM10, NO2, O3, and CO, enriched with meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Additionally, it includes noise level measurements, offering insights into urban noise pollution....

The article discusses the current state of the literature on learning with and from entrepreneurial role models (ERMO) to support practitioners’ and policy makers’ capacity-building activities. Data was obtained from 42 studies on entrepreneurial learning, analyzed through a systematic literature review process. The results shows that research addresses primarily entrepreneurship education (EE) contexts, with only...

Scholars and policymakers have discussed the emphasis on entrepreneurial growth, especially the importance of cooperation with local and regional stakeholders (e.g. local politics, social or innovation networks, or collaboration with regional universities) to gain inner-city economics resilience and to attract owner-managed retail (OMR) and support entrepreneurial SMEs. We aim to contribute to the discussion by...

Air pollution constitutes a significant worldwide environmental challenge, presenting threats to both our well-being and the purity of our food supply. This study suggests employing Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models featuring Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units for forecasting PM10 particle levels in multiple locations in Skopje simultaneously over a time span of 1, 6, 12,...

This work investigates the global market for air quality sensors and data representation.We analyzed a comprehensive sample of players in the air quality sensor market and included a representative set of 21 very different organizations in this study. The encompasses entities, from major players like Breezometer to smaller companies focusing on hyperlocal air quality data,...

This study investigates the relationship between peer collaboration and student success, with a focus on identifying central figures among a cohort of 47 freshmen in a higher education setting. Utilizing digital learning platforms, students were surveyed biweekly over the course of an academic year to determine collaboration patterns, resulting in a total of 14 surveys....

In today’s urban environments, accurately measuring and forecasting air pollution is crucial for combating the effects of pollution. Machine learning (ML) is now a go-to method for making detailed predictions about air pollution levels in cities. In this study, we dive into how air pollution in urban settings is measured and predicted. Using the PRISMA...

Vocational education and training in Germany are distinguished by the separation of training groups of different learning levels. In chef training, theoretical teaching content is mainly conveyed using lectures and textbooks. The abstract presentations and texts are not suitable for inclusive education. By pursuing a design science research process, a digital-analog learning application was developed...

English – The interactive exhibition prototype Casino Melanoma playfully deals with the influence of UV radiation in connection with personal factors to draw attention to the danger of contracting skin cancer. Based on the classic game of roulette, a game is played in the categories of skin type, number of nevi (birthmarks and moles), skin...

English Looking at consumption-based emissions is directly relevant to policy discussions. In order to develop effective climate strategies, climate policy needs to address the root causes, which requires an understanding of outsourced CO₂ emissions. Using a design science research methodology process, an interactive installation was developed to communicate scientifically collected data in an exhibition environment....

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Emerging Technologies for Education, SETE 2021, held in Zhuhai, China in November 2021. 35 full papers were accepted together with 8 short papers out of 58 submissions. The papers focus on the following subjects: Emerging Technologies for Education, Digital Technology, Creativity, and...

Nowadays, digital competence is required for participation in working life, education, and social activities. Vocational education is the key to teaching and development of digital skills. Technology enhanced learning offers enormous potential for improving equal participation and reducing access barriers. In order to meet the demands for equal access to digital technologies, to a digitized...

People with disabilities are often denied the opportunity to obtain a vocational qualification. There is a lack of an appropriate infrastructure for an inclusive education system and recognized degrees. Therefore, didactic methods for inclusive learning situations are needed. This paper describes the user-centered development and evaluation of a serious game for inclusive vocational training in...

The SWOT analysis as a tool has been mainly used as an assessment method for organizational and managerial development. Due to its simplicity, it can serve as a very timely instrument for feedback. We demonstrate, that it can also be useful in Higher Education institutions in the context of teaching and learning. The paper analyses...

The proliferation of international online collaboration in higher education as part of the curriculum raises questions of how to successfully start these online courses and prepare student teams to effectively work on a project over the course of the semester in a virtual environment. Our paper aims to analyse the possibilities of onboarding student teams...
