This mixed-methods observational pilot study compared clinician-supervisor and student satisfaction (surveys and semi-structured interviews), and final placement scores for two different physiotherapy clinical placement models: hybrid (half-onsite, half-remote) and traditional (onsite). All supervisors and students involved were invited to…

Purpose: This study examines learner satisfaction and success as mechanisms through which online learning quality translates into learners' continuous intentions of use by extending DeLone and McLean's information system success model. It also examines the moderating effect of perceived supervisory support and learners' self-regulation on online…

Social factors, including social ties (the extent to which students form social ties with other students in the course) and social capital (the resources which are accessed through our social networks), have been acknowledged as important predictors of learning outcomes. Furthermore, they may be particularly important in online distance learning…

This study explores the relationship between student readiness for online learning and its impacts on engagement, satisfaction, and academic achievement in Indonesian higher education. Using a mixed-methods design, the quantitative phase employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to reveal that online learning readiness significantly affects…

Drawing from existing literature, we constructed the Faculty Satisfaction with Online Teaching Survey (FSOTS) and administered it to 320 faculty teaching online in Qatar during the first 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, exploratory factor…

A mediation model was developed and tested through structural equation modeling, explicating the relationships among student interaction, social presence (perceiving others as "real" in an online environment), and student satisfaction with online learning in counselor education, with a national sample of 378 participants enrolled in US.…

The Indonesian Student Micro-Credentials Program implemented by Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU) carries 5 courses, all of which are carried out online, in a relatively short time within 2 months. The learning objectives, which are intended to create practical skills, require students to master the courses they follow, thus causing…

Online learning has accentuated the role and interaction of numerous educational and psychological factors among students, especially undergraduates. Psychological resilience, as an evaluative factor of mental health, has been confirmed in previous studies as having an effect on undergraduates' online learning performance and satisfaction.…

This study examined the factors related to student persistence in online education programs. Using a model of persistence, we conducted five confirmatory factor analytic models to evaluate scales that measured the factors of interest: locus of control, self-efficacy, task value, satisfaction, and persistence. We also conducted and compared two…

Online learning communities play a crucial role in delivering high-quality courses to a large number of learners. However, to maintain an economically sustainable and constantly evolving online learning ecosystem, it is essential to create a virtuous cycle from knowledge production to knowledge consumption by charging learners to incentivize…

Understanding what motivates students to enroll, persist, and complete an undergraduate research experience is crucial in developing strategies for creating well-rounded and inclusive research programs. This paper showcases an approach for a virtual undergraduate research onboarding program to orient engineering students to the National Science…

Online learning has steadily increased since well before the COVID-19 pandemic (Seaman et al., 2018), but research has yet to explore online students' perceptions of online exam proctoring methods. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand the perceptions of fully online students regarding types of proctoring at a large state…

Recent years have seen an apparent increase in the popularity and acceptance of online and hybrid learning as alternative models of learning at universities and other institutions of higher education in Nigeria. However, there is doubt whether the increase in popularity and acceptance of online and hybrid learning has translated to better learning…

This study examines the influences of learners' motivation, self-monitoring, and self-management on learning satisfaction in online learning environments. The participants were 185 undergraduates and 99 graduate students majoring in computer science and engineering. The participants' motivation, self-monitoring, self-management, and learning…

Purpose: Based on self-determination theory (SDT), this study aims to investigate the motivational antecedents of faculty members' continuance intention of using online teaching platforms. For this purpose, we introduced a model incorporating basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS) and different motivational mechanisms.…
