It is known that teachers commonly utilize learning platforms equipped with Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) to support students in their Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) endeavors. However, students may struggle to effectively employ LAD due to a lack of sufficient metacognitive skills. Co-regulation of learning (CoRL) has been proven to…

Oral demonstration of knowledge is an effective learning and assessment strategy. It has been shown that generating explanations to oneself, or self-explaining, can improve student understanding of information. This can be achieved via student-generated videos. The quantitative effects of student-generated videos on learning and assessment in…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of those technologies with a wide range of applications, from planes to cars, from factories to homes. As IoT technology is an interdisciplinary field, it is generally one of the most difficult subjects to learn. Therefore, there is a need to use and develop new teaching methods to facilitate the teaching of IoT…

Purpose: In the wake of the pandemic (COVID-19) throughout the United States, many educators had to promptly switch to online modality to continue to provide education to students with safety through physical distancing requirements. This study mainly focuses on delivering an Information Systems module aligned with the information systems…

With the advancement of technology, traditional classroom environments have been increasingly replaced by technology-driven learning settings. This transition has been further accelerated by global crises such as wars, health emergencies, and economic instability, pushing education beyond conventional boundaries. Among these settings, e-learning…

This study investigates the relative impact of online delivery of supplemental instruction (SI) to undergraduate students enrolled in STEM courses at a large, four-year, Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the southern United States. A multi-condition, randomized trial comparing the relative performance of in-person to online SI was implemented…

Critical thinking (CT) is being recognized as an essential skill for students to master in the 21st century. Previous studies have suggested that teaching CT through asynchronous online discussions (AODs) can be one of the effective ways to equip students with such 21st skill in the educational settings. The purpose of this article is to review of…

The study investigated the effect writing prompts designed to elicit reflective and reflexive thinking could have on participants' self-regulated learning strategies and academic performance. The reflection prompts asked the students to think about the way they were working for the class they were enrolled in and to identify important elements…

This study aims to compare asynchronous distance learning and blended learning in a context in which English is taught as a foreign language; the focal points of the comparison are learner autonomy, motivation and academic success. In this context, asynchronous distance learning refers to an English learning process provided through online videos…

We present a case study of the transition from a face-to-face course to an emergency remote course to a successful online course at the University of Puerto Rico, a Hispanic Serving Institution that has faced economic and natural disaster hardships during the past few years. We discuss the selection of free-of-cost and accessible technology…

What is interesting is virtual learning seems to go against the very nature of teachers and teaching. For example, many teachers are in the profession to change the lives of students, to have an impact, for interaction, to motivate and aspire students. Some teachers find that these are all diminished and even sometimes eliminated in the virtual…

Instructor social presence involves instructors establishing their presence as "being there" in terms of frequency of communication and interaction with students as well as supporting students throughout the learning process (Lowenthal 2015). Instructor social presence can be constructed and maintained through the design and facilitation…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across North America closed to in person learning in March 2020. Since then, it has becoming increasingly clear that physical distancing will need to be prolonged in the 2020/2021 school year and possibly resumed in the future. In response, education ministries shifted teaching and learning online. Research is…

Instructional Scaffolding is a learning process designed to promote a deeper level of learning and asynchronous learning involves learning via e-mails, blogs etc. The study was conducted in the urban area of Assam, India aimed to find out the effects of Online Technology Based Scaffolding (OTBS)on the asynchronous learning performance in relations…

This is a comprehensive analytic report in the "School District Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic" series, covering changes that occurred in public school districts across six waves of data collection, from March 26 to May 29, 2020. American Enterprise Institute's (AEI's) COVID-19 Education Response Longitudinal Survey (C-ERLS)…
