This paper is divided into four main parts. In the first part of the study, we identified the most significant factors that affect the performance of groups in collaborative learning situations. The results showed that the extent of communication, interactions and involvement/participation...

This note is aimed at familiarizing the reader with state space geometry, a useful tool in teaching asset pricing concepts. Building on the analogy between expectation and dot product, I visualize basic notions using Euclidean geometry in 2D and 3D. Numerical examples are given such that the...

A substantial amount of money is spent on technology by schools, families and policymakers with the hope of improving educational outcomes. This chapter explores the theoretical and empirical literature on the impacts of technology on educational outcomes. The literature focuses on two primary...

Die sukzessive Digitalisierung großer Arbeitsbereiche ist mittlerweile in der öffentlichen Diskussion angekommen und eine Abschätzung der Folgen für Gesellschaft und Institutionen fällt immer noch schwer. Dieser Beitrag thematisiert die soziale Dimension dieser Entwicklung und stellt sich...
