Engagement stability in online learning: can supporting attendance disrupt the Matthew effect?
In press
Supporting student engagement is crucial, as it is a key predictor of academic success in online learning. However, little is known about whether interventions can disrupt self-reinforcing engagement patterns such as the Matthew effect. This study investigates whether personalised feedback on attendance can increase engagement levels and reduce engagement disparities in an online learning environment. We conducted an experiment in which one group of students received personalised reports with attendance analytics, a list of missed webinars for asynchronous viewing, and recommendations to attend live sessions, while a control group received no such support. Results confirmed that prior engagement strongly predicted subsequent participation, consistent with a Matthew effect pattern. The support was associated with modest improvements in synchronous engagement and more stable high participation, while showing no effect on asynchronous engagement. The intervention did not decrease persistence of low engagement, which indicates that engagement gaps persisted. These findings suggest that while personalised support may help sustain synchronous and high engagement to a certain degree, it is insufficient to disrupt cumulative disadvantages in participation.

Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) is increasingly used in higher education, yet its role in collaborative learning remains unclear. This study examines how students use Gen-AI during group lesson-planning tasks in an undergraduate education course. Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, we introduce the concept of “an effort space” and apply the categories of appropriate, over-, and ...

Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as a substitute for field trials in itemdifficulty estimation, but evidence about where they succeed is usually drawn from a single test form. We compare LLM difficulty predictions across three task types that make different language demands, grammar cloze, semantic cloze and reading comprehension, on two operational Grade ...

The model formalises two complementary coordination mechanisms in digital project teams. The first is stigmergy: contributor agents select shared artefacts to work on by following traces left by previous editors, without explicit communication. The second is mutualism: artefacts ...

Rapid digitalization of higher education and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in instruction call for careful evaluation of their impact on students. Traditional face-to-face lectures and those given by an AI-avatar, remote online courses, each create distinct conditions that shape the classroom psychological climate and comfort. Prior research shows AI integration increases engagement, but ...
