VR has been widely acknowledged for its capacity to allow perspective-taking, increase empathy, engage learners, and facilitate experiential learning; however, the availability, accessibility, and limitations of the content have slowed implementation. One instance of this can be seen in implementing XR content to engage global citizens with…

This study explored and analyzed student perceptions of feedback for deeper learning in an online graduate program at a regionally accredited institution in the southeastern United States. Forty-one graduate students participated in an online survey to examine students' preferences for feedback, the most helpful types of feedback, and if feedback…

The community of inquiry (CoI) framework identifies three essential elements--social, cognitive, and teaching presences--that are crucial for fostering a successful online learning experience. This study utilized the CoI framework to examine whether differences existed in students' perceived CoI presences between online and face-to-face sections…

Because e-learning encompasses such a wide array of learning methods and tools, its components lend themselves to boundless applications. This study describes one such frontier of e-learning: its use in raising awareness of crucial social issues. Specifically, we describe the development of the first human trafficking awareness e-learning game…

While online learning holds many benefits for graduate students, lack of student interaction often found in asynchronous content delivery may negatively impact student engagement. This study examined student perceptions of online lecture-embedded interactive activities that promoted student active engagement through quizzes and gamification. From…

This paper reports a study of students' use of Desire2Learn (D2L), a learning management system in hybrid classes that had more asynchronous online learning than face-to-face meetings. The participants in the study accessed D2L using a computer browser, mobile browser and the mobile learning management system (m-LMS) app, Brightspace Pulse. The…

This study investigates how the course format change caused by covid-19 pandemic affected learning behaviors and performance of college students enrolled in a large introductory history course. Clickstream log files capturing how students were interacting with online learning contents were analyzed to identify the learning behaviors of students…

The purpose of this study was to two-fold. First, it aimed to provide a description of the design process of a fully online public health course with a special emphasis on an authentic learning project. The authentic project in this course was designed in compliance with the competencies put forth by the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education…

The rising demand for high-quality, timely content for online and blended learning environments presents significant challenges for instructional designers, particularly in managing resource-intensive tasks such as video production and image sourcing. This study investigates the impact of using artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large…

The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced educators to transform their teaching into online versions in a very short span of time. The study aims to throw light on the perspectives of the faculty of higher educational institutions in India in the process of transitioning to remote teaching due to COVID 19. Data were collected with the help of an online…

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact and development of online learning experiences, behaviours and self-regulation of a sample of Mainland Chinese postgraduate students who engaged consecutively in three Moodle discussion tasks. Questionnaire data (n = 41) suggested significant correlations between students' online learning…

The LODEStone model is an emerging design model for consulting on organizational, department or team level challenges for specialized learners. LODEStone evolved from the iterative design of OCTBR, a course development tool created at an academic health science center (AHSC). OCTBR's purpose is to help create better blended and online learning…

This study investigated the implementation and effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) system integrated within Learning Management Systems (LMS) for automatically generating student learning resources from faculty-selected materials. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research examined both the technical feasibility and pedagogical…

This study explored how students perceive and use feedback to take ownership and deepen their learning in an online graduate degree program. A review of the literature revealed that the context and conditions in which feedback is given impact students' understanding and receptivity to feedback and affect how students use feedback to deepen their…

The rapid surge of digitalization in the education sector has redefined the dynamics of the modern classroom. In a world that embraces convenience, online learning has established its own relevance and has been a subject of considerable interest to researchers worldwide. The majority of studies have focused upon factors that make or break the…
