The rapid increase in the number of cars in Lithuania and abroad every year (Statistics of traffic accidents in Lithuania), ensuring road safety is becoming an increasingly important and relevant aspect for road users and other responsible institutions. In the statistics of traffic accidents in...

Today, various types of data are constantly growing, so they can be used for different purposes. In this investigation, educational data has been analyzed to determine the influence of assessment on student knowledge. The newly collected dataset has been prepared and statistically analyzed. The dataset consists of open-question answers collected on one study subject during the midterm exam at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University. The results of the statistical analysis have shown that by using the text generators, students obtained higher grades by paraphrasing the answers to the questions in good quality. Furthermore, research has shown which types of questions are more difficult for students to answer without additional material and using text generation tools. It can be useful for lecturers planning course assessment tasks.

Nowadays, technological development and improvement in business is happening rapidly, so higher education (HE), and not only, studies should constantly provide and develop new up-to-date knowledge and skills to students, in order to train competitive specialists, address digital transformation by developing digital readiness of higher institutions, and increase employment opportunities of students. Consequently, this paper discusses the implementation of the newly developed courses for teaching Rapid Application Development (RAD) on the Oracle Application Express platform into the studies at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) and presents the effectiveness of the implementation of this course measured using Kirkpatrick’s model. The obtained results show that students’ knowledge of RAD increased after attending the course. In addition, a 76% agreed that this course increased their knowledge of the subject matter.

As the development of technology and business improvement is rapidly advancing these days, higher education (HE) should continually provide and develop up-to-date knowledge and skills for students. This is crucial for training competitive specialists, addressing digital transformation and enhancing digital readiness of HE institutions, as well as increasing students’ employment opportunities. Therefore, this paper explores the development and implementation of the new courses for teaching Rapid Application Development (RAD) on the Oracle Application Express platform at five European universities. Consequently, a new and flexible methodology for the integration of developed courses into existing study programs with different integration strategies is proposed and implemented. The effectiveness of the courses’ integration, implementation and students’ satisfaction were evaluated using Kirkpatrick’s model. The results reveal that students’ knowledge of RAD increased after completing the courses, which can improve students’ employment opportunities and promote digital transformation in HE institutions and studies. In addition, a majority of the students expressed positive feedback for both modules, finding the courses relevant, well delivered and motivating for future study. This study and its results are expected to inspire researchers, teachers and practitioners for further work towards the digital transformation of HE and offer valuable insights for future HE digitalization and research.
