Although research has extensively documented international students' adjustment and acculturation challenges, the role of academic advising in assisting with such challenges has received scarce empirical attention. This phenomenological study explored how international students' communications with their academic advisors influenced their…

Policy language plays a central role in ensuring that academic libraries are accessible and inclusive to patrons with disabilities. However, relevant accessibility information is often missing from publicly available library policies. This article uses findings from a content analysis of SUNY libraries' public collection development and…

The following study employed a student-centered methodology to understand undergraduate student confusion with student learning outcomes (SLOs), or the statements that specify what students should know or be able to do by the end of a course. Through understanding and investigating student confusion with undergraduate student researchers, we have…

Chemistry graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) have substantial facetime with undergraduate students at large research institutions where they lead discussion and lab sessions. Emerging research describes GTAs' content and teaching knowledge for introductory chemistry classes, but we need to know more about how GTAs manage their classes in the…

This paper presents the first experiences of the use of an online open-source repository with programming exercises. The repository is independent of any specific teaching approach. Students can search for and select an exercise that trains the programming concepts that they want to train and that only uses the programming concepts they already…

Background: AR, a…

There is scarce research classifying and investigating the relationship between B2C and C2C value co-creation. Based on the value co-creation theory and literature on brand awareness, this study developed a research framework to demonstrate the relationships between B2C and C2C value co-creation constructs, with the mediation of brand awareness. A…

No previous research has looked at the inclusion of teaching assistants (TAs) in competency-based education (CBE) at an online university to evaluate student satisfaction and success. A 12-month TA pilot program in an online undergraduate program sought to measure the positive impact on students' learning by surveying their satisfaction and…
