Work-integrated learning (WIL) can significantly benefit student employability, institutional graduate outcomes, and quality talent pipelines. However, there are many caveats to this, such as course-wide flexible and scaffolded design, sustained external partner engagement, adequate resourcing, and ongoing evaluation that informs quality,…

Abundant laboratory and classroom research demonstrate the superior effectiveness of effortful learning strategies based on cognitive science over re-reading, highlighting, and other strategies more widely used by college students. However, persuading students to adopt and adhere to effective strategies is difficult. This article outlines a novel,…

Millions of families and consumers alike rely on property managers to ensure a positive resident experience within their community. This positive resident experience is achieved through effective property management skills including human resources and relationship management, finance and accounting, maintenance and risk management, and marketing…

This paper develops a spreadsheet simulation methodology for teaching simulation and performance analysis of priority queues with multiple servers, without resorting to macros, add-ins, or array formula. The approach is made possible by a "single overtaking" simplifying assumption under which any lower-priority customer may be passed in…

The Unlearning Cycle offers a way to help educators identify some of the underlying assumptions and beliefs we bring to our pedagogical design. In a field so focused on learning, it is actually unlearning we need to focus on. This chapter shares research and strategies to trade up for new ways of teaching and designing for inclusive, rigorous…

The affordances of computer-based learning environments make them powerful tools for conveying information in higher education. However, to most effectively use these environments, students must be adept at self-regulating their learning. This self-regulation is effortful, including a myriad of processes, including defining tasks, making plans,…

The trajectories of graduate students in school psychology are often highly individualized, but in a real and practical sense their journeys all have one thing in common. Before any graduate student can become a practitioner in the field of school psychology, they must pass the Praxis. The Praxis covers everything school psychology students have…

Within the new feedback paradigm, the concept of student and teacher feedback literacy is gaining more and more attention, with most studies focussing on what it entails and how it can be supported by design. This paper contributes to this, by focussing on what students can do with feedback information. It proposes an instructional model for…

This chapter examines specific Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, guidelines, and checkpoints that support the removal of barriers to reading to learn efforts. The chapter will also offer practical examples of relevant curricular moves to support student learning from texts.

In today's dynamic and high-tech learning environment, offering flexible and innovative assignment options is crucial for engaging students across varied learning preferences and backgrounds. Alternative formats, such as gamification and storyboards, can boost engagement, spark creativity, and enhance learning outcomes in college classrooms. By…

Despite strong evidence that students' self-regulated learning (SRL) capacity and performance predict important academic and lifelong learning outcomes, SRL remains largely absent from educational standards and curricula. That absence has implications for students, surely, but it also affects what pre-service teachers learn and how in-service…

Despite undeniable advances in research on language learning strategies in the last several decades, empirical investigations of actions and thoughts that learners engage in to better understand and use grammar structures in different contexts, or grammar learning strategies (GLS), remain scarce. Moreover, there is a paucity of studies examining…

Most college students have grown up using technology and consequently, they are proficient with its many uses and applications. The use of this technology provides many benefits to college students' learning, both in and out of the classroom. However, despite the numerous benefits of technology, these digital activities can also lead to much…

Higher Education students that have identified themselves as experiencing stress and/or anxiety and depression have risen. Also, with many students opting for online or digital learning opportunities, identifying and fulfilling adult learners' needs is critical. Quality instructional design aimed at enhancing their achievement and…

This article describes pedagogical teaching and learning strategies that facilitate transformative learning for RN-BSN students in the online program.
