Blended synchronous learning enables online learners to participate in class activities from geographically separated sites. Due to various challenges, however, online learners are often harder to be engaged and their engagement levels are lower than that of classroom counterparts. This review summarized and synthesized the challenges that led to…

Blended synchronous learning has diffused widely owing to its flexibility and accessibility. One of the special forms--blended synchronous classroom program (BSCP) for equitable education has fruited in some countries and areas. An in-depth understanding of the adoption and diffusion of an innovation is beneficial to a wider range of innovation.…

Contemporary global epidemiological and wartime issues emphasize the development and application of academic techniques enabling the maintenance of qualitative education and training of future professionals. Healthcare is the direction requiring the most attention as the number of individuals seeking physical and mental care is continuously…

During the 2020-2021 school year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of students and teachers into hybrid or fully remote modalities. Compiling the experiences of teachers who taught foundational reading skills to their primary-age students in a hybrid model (a mix of both remote learners at home, joining via video conferencing, as well as…

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted various aspects of our lives causing economic, social and psychological challenges all around the world. A sector that immediately responded to this unprecedented change was education, which migrated to online platforms. This study explored the attitudes, perceptions, and experiences of a group of students…

Hyflex describes a course format that combines both online and in-person elements, allowing students the flexibility to attend class in person, participate remotely in real-time (synchronously), or complete all coursework at their own pace (asynchronously). This study was conducted to explore student and instructor experiences with Hyflex…

The COVID-19 pandemic has had broad ranging impacts on the delivery of education at universities. In this context, hybrid-flexible teaching, or HyFlex (HF), has been offered at my university as a mode of delivery ostensibly suitable to what is ultimately a disrupted teaching environment. HF involves the delivery of a subject simultaneously in…

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) gave rise to a sudden shift to the online education delivery system from the conventional in-person teaching method. Though instructions were moved to a virtual learning platform, it was a critical challenge to provide hands-on training to teach complex engineering software. This article discusses the…

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly all aspects of daily life, including academic experiences for college students. While studies have highlighted the various barriers to virtual learning and with many institutions adopting a mix of synchronous and asynchronous options, there is limited evidence of what is ideal for students dealing with the…

The purpose of the study was to examine students' learning experience with Google Meet, a virtual learning tool in tertiary contexts in Vietnam. The explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used with the participation of 188 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Vietnamese students at a private university in Vietnam. Findings from both the…

At its heart, design is a studio-based discipline, which makes it difficult for design educators to adopt technology-driven changes into an online teaching and learning environment. Globally, few universities offer online undergraduate degree design courses, despite an overall growth in online higher degree curricula. Anecdotal evidence and…

The widespread use of video platforms has enriched and expanded options for synchronous learning for students attending class remotely including use of breakout rooms as a venue for peer-to-peer discussion. Although groupwork has long been used in face-to-face classes and there exists abundant research on its benefits, research on the use of…

Foreign language courses that are delivered at a distance using synchronous video tend to be more instructor centered than learner centered. Based on literature indicating that foreign language learning occurs when learners are actively engaged, an instructor delivered an online college Spanish course with synchronous video sessions and flipped…

Open pedagogy has emerged as an important teaching and learning practice while the current global open education resources movement has developed. The present research addresses the need to develop and conceptualize open pedagogy models in higher education contexts. This case study examined student perspectives on the affordances, challenges, and…

This study explored teacher experience in leading Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) in K-12 and conducting blended synchronous and asynchronous instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study's purpose was to understand the pedagogical, technological, and organizational challenges and benefits of computing-enhanced digital learning environments,…
