This paper documents the process and outcomes of redesigning an online research methods module for taught postgraduate students using Universal Design for Learning (UDL). It also explores the effectiveness of UDL-informed design and practice to support the development of social, cognitive and teacher presence as defined under the Community of…

Teaching is a skill that can and should be taught in graduate education. Fortunately, many departments offer some teacher training for their graduate students to prepare them to teach introductory and other survey courses. What is apparently still lacking is training for graduate students to teach upper-level seminar-style classes. Therefore, we…

This qualitative multi-case study explores the exercise and development of the design judgment of eight instructional design (ID) students working on design projects over one semester in graduate programs at four different institutions in the USA. Their design processes were explored through interviews and their design documents using the concepts…

We have explored designers having empathy for the audience of focus, designers using empathy as a means to an end, and designers using empathy to deliver a meaningful design deliverable. Our research has evolved from studying how designers reflect on their own design context and the audience's given circumstance to designers acting on moments of…

A new online orientation course equips students with the tools and skills to thrive in online programs. It welcomes them to the university, introduces the learning management system, fosters peer connection, and locates essential resources. Additionally, it teaches valuable strategies for time management, motivation, and success in online…

"Hybrid is here to stay!" If that is so, then how we educate design students and the techniques they learn need to work in a technology-driven online environment as well as face-to-face on campus. Learning codesign typically involves students being in a design studio environment where they create activities using tangible materials, for…

The current study aimed to evaluate an online learning experience based on the music model of motivation in an educational technology post-graduate program in Oman. In order to understand the motivational perceptions of students regarding the instruction, a two-phase, sequential explanatory mixed method research design was conducted in this study.…

This paper focuses on an intersectional feminism approach to writing assignments in which students served as co-creators of knowledge engaged in the development of an open-access book titled "Motivation in Learning, Training, and Development: A Collection of Essays," while enrolled in the "Principles of Learner Motivation"…

As the novel coronavirus began to rapidly spread worldwide in March 2020, emergency transitions to the remote education processes were adopted in all institutions so as not to interrupt students' learning. In this study, we intended to investigate the extent to which factors of online course design and student learning impact students' success…

Despite the metaverse having been increasingly designed, developed, and applied to education, critical issues regarding the lack of truly immersive learning environments, custom tools, clear instructional design, and inconvenience of using the platform, and ethics and privacy concerns exist. This study aimed to design and develop a 3-D metaverse…

The focus of this research is on values about methods, a specific instructional theory framework construct that represents a person's opinions about the usefulness of instructional methods. Previous studies have shown that values about methods have a "good guy/bad guy" structure, where instructional methods such as apprenticeship are…

COVID-19 has emphasized the importance of holistic education with fostering stu- dents' multiple intelligences through effective social and emotional learning (SEL). Understanding students' SEL not only supports students' learning performance, it's also beneficial to inform teachers to provide more adequate social-communicative, metacognitive, and…

Intersubjectivity is the representation of knowledge construction achieved through a synergistic progression from individual contributions to sequences of interdependent contributions. Repair is a conversational strategy that consists of sequences of interaction contributing to the development of intersubjectivity thereby establishing mutual…

In this paper, using a feminist autoethnographical approach, I explore personal experiences as an Afro-Latinx woman studying, teaching, and researching in the instructional design and technology (IDT) field. This feminist autoethnography serves to self-reflect on how, as a woman of color, I have navigated the IDT field as a graduate student and…

So far, the synergistic relationship between learning design and learning analytics and its impact on learners' educational practices have been investigated. However, little work has been done to show how integrated learning design based on constructivism learning theory and learning analytics can affect learners' engagement and self-regulation.…
