The ideas of project-based language learning (PBLL) align well with the action-oriented approach, which is considered a promising approach in language education (Piccardo & North, 2019). In this study, we carried out the scoping review of empirical research articles describing the implementation of PBLL in higher education during the period…

Engaging first-year students from the first moment of arrival is crucial to support their transition to higher education and facilitate their learning experiences and learning outcomes. Orientation activities offer first-year students important transitional support during their first period at higher education. As students sometimes consider…

Today's contemporary students look to universities to provide a variety of modalities for them to participate in their courses. Combining face-to-face and online modes, HyFlex does just that, provide students flexibility in participating in courses in ways that work for them. This brief provides background information on HyFlex and the…

This mixed-methods study captures multiple stakeholders' voices and experiences of a hybrid-flexible (HyFlex) learning environment. It juxtaposes different perceptions of learning experiences, equivalency, and interactions. Tutor strategies to facilitate communication across space are explored. Thirty-six undergraduate students experienced the…

The emergence of advanced information technology has revolutionized education and accentuated the demand for high-quality learning. However, many teachers fall short of using technology effectively and optimizing instructional design to promote deeper learning. To address this issue, this study proposes a four-element flipped learning model, which…

An undergraduate degree in engineering requires students to not only be proficient in engineering knowledge but also acquire comprehensive skills such as independent learning ability, strong communication skills, social knowledge, and innovative thinking. Therefore, problem-based learning (PBL), which is a student-centered approach, is getting…

This paper explores the challenges and first experiences of implementing federated virtual learning management within the European University Alliance "Unite!". Through the lens of Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), the study investigates the complexities inherent in connecting Learning Management Systems (LMS) across diverse…

The purpose of this study is to advance the accessibility of a hybrid-flexible (HyFlex) learning environment by applying the four attributes of the POUR model (WCAG 2.1, 2018), namely, "perceivable, operable, understandable," and "robust," to make digital learning content more accessible to all learners. The connections between…

Background/purpose: Collaborative Online International Learning projects have emerged as practices that connect students from different countries. Such actions can be appealing to universities but also arouse uncertainty. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to explore COIL experiences in HE reported in the scientific literature in terms of…

This study examines the impact of hybrid education on the selfefficacy of university professors in Morocco. Conducted during the 2021-2022 academic year, it uses an online questionnaire distributed to 102 professors, collecting demographic data and information on the perception and application of hybrid education. The research draws on the Hy Sup…

Higher education institutions are increasingly looking to implement online and distance learning (ODL) options for students. Professional development for the design of ODL is needed to support these strategies. This study explores how, in what ways, and to what extent, design for ODL approaches from a series of Learning Design & Course…

In this article, we report on the implementation of using the game Werewolf as a student-centered applied-learning activity to teach symbolic interaction theory and concepts. Engaging with symbolic interaction theory can be a powerful experience for students due to its potential to challenge taken-for-granted assumptions and analyze students'…

The utilization of blended learning in the field of English language instruction has shown a notable rise in recent times. Blended learning has the ability to provide an optimal setting for language education, enabling a transition from conventional instructional approaches to more progressive ways through the integration of technology.…

Community service-learning (CSL) is implemented mainly in smallscale classes. To date, little is known about how large-scale CSL courses could best be designed. This study seeks to identify benefits and potential strategies for designing large-scale CSL courses. A qualitative multiple case study was performed of three large-scale university…

This chapter describes the development, implementation, and assessment of an intensive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scholars program grounded in self-determination theory. These findings provide one of the first integrations of theory into studying the impact of SoTL and can support educational developers with SoTL initiatives at…
