We analyzed COVID-19's impact on business students in bachelor's and master's programs across traditional, hybrid, and online learning modes using data from 209,073 students in 215 U.S. colleges. Using repeated measures ANOVA and Friedman's test for this longitudinal study, we compared four periods from 2016-2023: pre-pandemic, a 5-month…

This paper explores the transformational potential of flipped blended learning in MBA education, with a focus on enhancing skill development in Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources (HR). Flipped blended learning, a pedagogical model where students engage with foundational content outside the classroom and use in-class time for deeper, applied…

Background: Given the increased emphasis on active learning in psychology, it is important to use data to enhance these experiences. In learning courses, both live animals and virtual training laboratories have been found to enhance learning, but less research has examined student preferences. Generally, live rats are preferred, but students may…

Aim/Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between time of class and the academic performance of Master of Business Administration (MBA) students with 'group engagement' serving as the moderator. Notably, 'group engagement' is measured using a novel computer vision-based deep learning approach. Background: Generally, the first year of…

In the post-pandemic situation, where hybrid learning has become prevalent, effective communication between lecturers and students is very important. Self-efficacy is a crucial factor that affects their communication or speaking in class. Nowadays, research on students' self-efficacy in speaking has received considerable attention among…

Opportunities and concerns regarding the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in higher education have evolved along with them. A concern is how their use could support the higher-order learning appropriate for higher education. Grounded in the conversational framework, this case study explored how reflective practice could be fostered in a…

Recent years have witnessed the ethnographic turn in academic writing research and the multimodal turn in classroom discourse studies.

Higher Education institutions robustly adopted digital pedagogy during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This article reports on a study focussing on postgraduate students' first-hand experiences of digital pedagogy for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. This study was conducted at one higher education…

Numerous empirical studies and syntheses have explored technology-mediated task-based language teaching (TMTBLT) (for example, Chong & Reinders, 2020; Kim & Namkung, 2024; Lai & Li, 2011; Ziegler, 2016), with findings highlighting the affordances of technology for interaction and its associated benefits. However, few studies have…

This book explores the symbiotic relationship between human learning and machine learning, examining how emerging technologies and human-machine interfaces are reshaping the educational landscape. Organized into four sections with 20 chapters, it provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the dynamic intersection of these twin concepts. Bridging…
