During the 2020-2021 school year, many schools adopted remote learning or a part-time in-person learning ("hybrid") approach to reduce the risk of in-school transmission of COVID-19. The purpose of this work is to describe case rates of COVID-19 in schools practicing different learning modalities on rates of COVID-19 to support…

The College of Technology at Wilmington University launched the Virtual Instructor Pilot Program (VIPP) in Fall 2022 to address the shortage of qualified adjunct instructors for on-campus courses following the COVID-19 pandemic. This study assessed the VIPP's effectiveness by analyzing student academic performance in on-campus courses with remote…

Blended synchronous learning provides students flexible attendance options for class sessions. This study explored the experiences and interactions of remote and on-campus students in the blended synchronous classroom using a protocol pedagogy framework and a 360-degree camera. This multimethod study included observations and video recordings of…

The purpose of this study was to empirically investigate the effectiveness of the Blended Learning Choice Model on student academic performance. In response to the requirements necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, an adaptive blended learning method was developed. This model combined pedagogical needs with digital technology using online…

As a result of the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, a rapid transition from the classic classroom-lesson form to a distance form of education was required. Thus, many questions arose regarding the applicability of this training method and its comparison with the classical face-to-face method. This article presents a study of the examination…

This research aims to analyse whether the increasing use of case-based learning (CBL) by madrasa aliyah teachers in Indonesia improves their teaching skills in the field of education. This study employed a quasi-experimental technique and data from a CBL intervention programme to investigate how CBL is connected with teachers' hybrid teaching…

The emergence of fully online, hybrid and blended forms of higher education has led governments, quality assurance agencies and higher education institutions (HEIs) across the OECD to reflect on how to ensure that digital education provides learners with opportunities to reach learning and employment outcomes similar to those achieved through…

The distinction between face-to-face and distant digitally-mediated educational engagement is a complex one, and the two modes are often combined in practice, via 'blended learning' or the use of a VLE [Virtual Learning Environment] to support campus-based teaching. The current COVID-19 pandemic has thrown this distinction into relief, in a…

This study examined the similarities and differences in the processes and facilities for distance education at National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), a single-mode distance learning institution, and Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, a dual-mode distance learning institution. The study adopted a case study research design, with a…

Purpose: The purpose of this two-part research was to investigate the effect of remote learning on student progress in elementary education. Part one, presented in this paper, examined achievement differences between learners in a fully remote learning environment and those in a hybrid setting. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative,…

Having discussions and working together in groups with other learners is the indicator of the collaboration aspect of engagement. Collaborative engagement can be fostered through active learning approaches, since they provide more opportunities for interaction among learners. In Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) classrooms, small…

The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic affected higher education in a myriad of ways. One of the most notable effects however was the rapid and sudden transition of nearly all courses at most institutions to an online environment. And while there are a growing number of courses offered online already, this transition to nearly 100% remote…

In a global context increasingly prone to e-learning formats at all levels of education, especially in and after the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the acquisition of skills in distance learning programmes should not differ from the ones in onsite learning programmes. The main objective of this study is to analyse the perception that master's…

This study aimed to determine the effects of the traditional classroom model, distance education model and flipped classroom model designed according to ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence and satisfaction) motivation strategies on motivation and academic achievement levels. For this purpose, the study was conducted by using an experimental…

Internationalization efforts in higher education have often been categorized according to Jane Knight's binary of "Internationalization at Home" (IaH) and "Internationalization Abroad" (IA). However, a rising number of technology-supported activities have created new opportunities for university internationalization. For…
