This study, originally prompted by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on educational practices, examined Canadian faculty members' expectations of teaching and learning modalities in the year 2026. Employing a speculative methodology and thematic analysis, interview responses of 34 faculty members led to the construction of three hypothetical…

The problem that this Education Leadership Portfolio (ELP) focused on is the high failure/withdrawal rates of online mathematics courses at Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC), caused in part by the limited flexibility of current course modalities. Therefore, the goal was to increase course pass rates while still providing students…

The probability of changing preferences for study modalities was evaluated based on the experience of distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic among students of Marketing at a university in the Ecuadorian Andes. The analysis was based on the application of a questionnaire concerning factors associated with institutional conditions, as well…

Despite repeated calls for the integration of digital multimodal composing (DMC) into English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching, the effect of the pedagogical use of DMC has been rarely investigated in the EFL context. Even less is known about the effects of DMC on students' L2 writing development. This study aims to address this issue by…

Purpose: Multimedia facilitates knowledge acquisition, which has a significant impact on students' learning and is a big potential of information and communication technology. Learning through multimedia has psychological benefits for the learner in addition to being used for recreational learning. To define the cognitive theory of multimedia in…

This study employs a transcendental phenomenology case study approach to explore graduate student perspectives on multimodal assessments (MMAs) within an online environment. The primary objective is to understand how these students experience and perceive MMAs. To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect in-depth data…

The purpose of this study was to determine how preservice teachers are being taught to use digital technologies to create multimodal ensembles in teacher preparation programs. A hermeneutic content analysis with a partially mixed sequential equal status designed study was used during this research. The three data sources explored and examined for…

Utilising the ABC Learning Design based on the ABC curriculum design method (Young & Perovic 2016) and the Conversational Framework (Laurillard 2012), specifically the six learning types that underpin that model, eight Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from Coursera or FutureLearn were examined. These MOOCs were selected because they…

This longitudinal study used a mixed-methods approach to investigate multiple digital multimodal composition (DMC) tasks effect on EFL learners' attitudes toward DMC. The sample consisted of Arabic-speaking students (n = 40), enrolled in an English language program at a Saudi university. Data comprised multiple sources, including five online…

This article explores the possibilities of incorporating collaborative digital storytelling into preservice teacher education to support teachers in learning about their students' rich perspectives on teaching and learning. Data were gathered in an elementary literacy methods course at a public university in the northeastern United States to…

A fundamental responsibility of higher education institutions, across disciplines, is to develop student research skills. The exponential growth of digital scholarship, however, challenges traditional definitions of research. There is a need for deeper understanding of the ways in which students can develop and implement academic research skills…

In this paper, a multi-mode digital teaching approach is proposed based on the use of the VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/Write, Kinaesthetic) model where students have different styles (one or more) that improve their learning (face-to-face and online). Our research question is on the effectiveness of this approach in terms of learning efficacy and…

Due to technological developments, "literacy" is redefined as "multimodal literacy". Multimodal literacy has also become a part of the educational system in order to bring variety to the class room and to improve the quality of education in general. Hence, this study investigated the multimodal literacy level of pre-service…

This study aims at determining students' attitudes towards distance education/online learning through a scale developed by the authors and determine the relationship between these attitudes and e-learning styles. The study carried out on students of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine using the online system of the university,…

This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of published inventions, of an experimental design, used to promote learning for learners with dyslexia on HE programmes. Historical observations suggest that a notable number of learners with dyslexia express concern at the levels of support they receive and that support plans provided to their…
