Dual enrollment allows high school students to participate in college courses, earning both high school and college credits. Although many high schools offer dual enrollment to all students, past research has demonstrated a significant gap in the participation of low-income students and students of color compared to their White and Asian…

A higher education international institution set forth a virtual training program for its faculty (n = 13) to enable successful implementation of flipped teaching (FT), which utilizes synchronous and asynchronous features to engage students in learning. Six biweekly sessions were scheduled via Zoom on Moodle, the Learning Management System. Pre-…

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit difficulties with social communication skills that negatively impacts quality of life.
