Analysing Users' Interactions with Khan Academy Repositories
This book addresses the need to explore user interaction with online learning repositories and the detection of emergent communities of users. This is done through investigating and mining the Khan Academy repository; a free, open access, popular online learning repository addressing a wide content scope. It includes large numbers of different learning objects such as instructional videos, articles, and exercises. The authors conducted descriptive analysis to investigate the learning repository and its core features such as growth rate, popularity, and geographical distribution. The authors then analyzed this graph and explored the social network structure, studied two different community detection algorithms to identify the learning interactions communities emerged in Khan Academy then compared between their effectiveness. They then applied different SNA measures including modularity, density, clustering coefficients and different centrality measures to assess the users’ behavior patterns and their presence. By applying community detection techniques and social network analysis, the authors managed to identify learning communities in Khan Academy’s network. The size distribution of those communities found to follow the power-law distribution which is the case of many real-world networks. Despite the popularity of online learning repositories and their wide use, the structure of the emerged learning communities and their social networks remain largely unexplored. This book could be considered initial insights that may help researchers and educators in better understanding online learning repositories, the learning process inside those repositories, and learner behavior.
Smart Education and Sustainable Learning Environments in Smart Cities
As urbanization accelerates and technological advancements continue to reshape our cities, the integration of smart technologies into urban development has become prominent. At the same time, the education sector faces challenges in adapting to the demands of a rapidly changing world. There is a growing need to prepare students for the digital age while fostering environmental consciousness and sustainability. These smart learning environments are designed to be flexible, accessible, and sustainable, aligning with the broader goals of smart cities to optimize resources, reduce environmental impact, and promote social equity. As cities evolve, the creation of sustainable learning environments becomes essential for academic achievement and the preparation of future generations. Smart Education and Sustainable Learning Environments in Smart Cities explores the intersection of education and smart technology. It investigates how smart technologies can be used to create inclusive, innovative, and environmentally sustainable educational ecosystems within the context of modern urban development. This book covers topics such as learning styles, data science, and cloud technology, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, educators, academicians, urban developers, policymakers, government officials, and researchers.
Learning Ecosystems: Building Communities for Lifelong Education
Education isn’t confined to classrooms—it thrives in dynamic communities where collaboration, curiosity, and innovation create opportunities for learning at every stage of life. Learning Ecosystems: Building Communities for Lifelong Education explores how interconnected networks of learners, educators, institutions, and technologies are shaping the future of education. This insightful book examines the concept of learning ecosystems—environments where formal, informal, and experiential education converge to support personal and collective growth. From neighborhood initiatives and workplace learning programs to global online platforms, it highlights how diverse communities can foster lifelong learning, adaptability, and innovation. Discover how to design and nurture learning ecosystems that empower individuals, bridge knowledge gaps, and address societal challenges. With examples from around the world, the book showcases inspiring stories of communities breaking down barriers to education through collaboration, technology, and shared goals. Whether you’re an educator, policymaker, or lifelong learner, Learning Ecosystems offers practical strategies for building inclusive, sustainable learning networks. Learn how to integrate resources, cultivate partnerships, and create environments where education becomes a continuous journey, driving personal fulfillment and societal progress. This is more than a book—it’s a blueprint for reimagining education as a shared, lifelong endeavor.
