This book investigates the content of the grammar syllabus typically employed in mainstream English Language Teaching. Using a mixed-methods approach, the author examines how the syllabuses used in coursebooks are actually constructed, how they evolved and how valid their contents are as a basis for teaching. The research reported consists of a…

Machine learning (ML) provides a powerful framework for the analysis of high-dimensional datasets by modelling complex relationships, often encountered in modern data with many variables, cases and potentially non-linear effects. The impact of ML methods on research and practical applications in the educational sciences is still limited, but…

This study examined higher education instructors' lived experiences using learning analytics data to make sense of and improve their online course design. Mishra and Koehler's (2006) Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) served as the theoretical framework for this study, providing a lens for understanding how faculty apply…
