New trends in information technology are strongly influencing and shaping the growth of e-learning, and progressively resolving a number of critical issues currently limiting its dissemination to wider populations. The main goal of this chapter is to outline the MySelf Project, which aims to expand the potential of e-learning through the implementation of Affective Computing and training in soft skills. The chapter contents are therefore divided into two main sections: firstly, implementation of affective computing in the Myself project through the design and development of a 3D virtual tutor and research on possible implementations of multimodal recognition of user emotions; secondly, the development of 3D interactive simulations for soft skills training. Each section sets out the state of the art for the areas covered, outlines the Myself project objectives and possible operative applications, describes the work carried out to date, and discusses critical issues, open questions and future directions for the project.

Algorithmic Bias

Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology with the potential to extract significantly more data about learners and the learning process. In this article, we present an analysis of how VR education technology companies frame, use and analyse this data. We found both an expansion and acceleration of what data are being collected about learners and how these data are being mobilised in potentially discriminatory and problematic ways. Beyond providing evidence for how VR represents an intensification of the datafication of education, we discuss three interrelated critical issues that are specific to VR: the fantasy that VR data is ‘perfect’, the datafication of soft-skills training, and the commercialisation and commodification of VR data. In the context of the issues identified, we caution the unregulated and uncritical application of learning analytics to the data that are collected from VR training.

This book presents how 4.0 technologies enable a highly participatory and dialogic education, where students of different levels have the possibility of learning and training in their discipline while developing soft skills and, at the same time, the teachers can follow the development and evolution of these capacities and the purposes expected in the courses. Given the variety of courses modalities that are currently offered (e-learning, b-learning, m-learning, blended learning, among others), the applications presented in each chapter, as well as the appropriation of technologies for the enrichment of the students' cognitive and social skills, are an opportunity to explore new perspectives and approaches to Education 4.0.

PurposeTrainees’ motivation to transfer the training imparted is an important constituent in determining required training outcomes in organizations. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of trainee characteristics, training attitudes and training need analysis on motivation to transfer training.Design/methodology/approachResearch hypotheses were tested using a survey. A questionnaire was used to collect data from employees of an Indian governmental power transmission organization, attending any one soft skills training programme in the past year. Out of the 500 questionnaires distributed, 389 were deemed useable for the study, producing an effective response rate of 77.8 per cent.FindingsThe findings establish a direct and positive association between trainee characteristics, training attitudes and need analysis with transfer motivation.Originality/valueThis study contributes to extant literature by examining associations in hitherto underexplored areas such as that of training attitudes and training need analysis with transfer motivation. In addition, the findings provide insights into challenges pertaining to transfer motivation in soft skills training initiatives.

Fish farming in buckets or more popularly known as BUDIKDAMBER cultivates fish and vegetables in one bucket. In addition to increasing students' understanding of ecosystems, BUDIKDAMBER can also be a solution for teachers and students who have limited land for plant and fish cultivation. This activity aims to provide education and training to teachers and students regarding fish farming techniques currently used to solve small-scale fish farming. The implementation of this activity includes the preparation stage, the material delivery stage, and the experimental stage. Through soft skills training, it can increase knowledge and insight for teachers and students at SMPN 4 Rantau Panjang regarding the BUDIKDAMBER technique so that it is to motivate and attract teachers and students to try at home and pass on the knowledge gained to the surrounding community

In the modern educational space regarding the realities of the information society special importance is attached to issues related to the provision of a high level of informatization of education, which implies teachers’ mastering the necessary competencies and the ability to introduce e-learning resources into educational and training practice. Adobe Flash as one of the platforms for creating web applications and multimedia presentations enjoys greatest popularity with users including teachers. However, in connection with the announcement of discontinuing Adobe Flash support in 2020, the issue of choosing an analog to create web applications and presentations for use in teaching purposes is becoming particularly relevant. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of developing electronic educational resources by teachers using Adobe Flash and HTML5 for teaching math in primary school.
