Background: Given the increased emphasis on active learning in psychology, it is important to use data to enhance these experiences. In learning courses, both live animals and virtual training laboratories have been found to enhance learning, but less research has examined student preferences. Generally, live rats are preferred, but students may…

Despite the many theories supporting experiential learning, there is little guidance on how to design effective experiential exercises. To address this gap, we adapt insights from gamification research to devise a step-by-step process that management instructors may use to design effective experiential exercises for use in face-to-face and virtual…

This study examined high school journalism educators' perspectives on field trips to attend workshops and conferences sponsored by college and university journalism programs. In-depth interviews were conducted with 29 educators from across the United States, representing a broad range of scholastic journalism programs, schools, and professional…

Nursing students participating in labor support training need to learn core clinical skills to assess the delivery process to reduce the risk and labor pain of pregnant women. We proposed an approach to integrate scenario game-based learning with the experiential learning strategy to facilitate nursing students' learning performance and six core…

This mixed-methods observational pilot study compared clinician-supervisor and student satisfaction (surveys and semi-structured interviews), and final placement scores for two different physiotherapy clinical placement models: hybrid (half-onsite, half-remote) and traditional (onsite). All supervisors and students involved were invited to…

This study introduces a modular teaching framework for business data analytics (BDA) curricula and programs. The framework integrates gamification features of the SAP business processes, ERPsim Games, and SAP data warehousing into the experiential learning of BDA curricula. The pedagogical practices of deploying the framework in an undergraduate…

Societies are increasingly aware of the need to connect and communicate globally. Thus, navigating diverse cultural contexts becomes critical, which necessitates intercultural competence--the skill of effective communication and understanding across cultures. As the digital age reshapes our interactions, online learning platforms have emerged as…

Background: Maintaining cohesion is critical for teams to achieve shared goals and performance outcomes within a work-integrated learning (WIL) environment. Cohesion is an emergent state that develops over time, representing the synchrony of different behavioural interactions. Cohesive teams will exhibit such phenomena by their temporal…

In this study, the CEEBL teaching framework is further explored across three academic levels of online business courses. These classes emphasize collaborative teamwork using hands-on activities with projects aimed at tackling real world challenges. Students form affinity groups to co-create solutions for the projects. The study covers the building…

Purpose: Prior research suggests that collaboration is key to sustainable community development and environmental management, and peer-to-peer learning (P2PL) may facilitate community building and collaborative learning skills. This study aims to examine the effect of P2PL on the enhancement of environmental management and sustainable development…

The present study investigated the experiences of educators who taught in the virtual world Second Life®. Second Life has shown promise in the field of higher education but identified gaps exist: the identification of a set of best practices, a foundational theory, and educators' experiences using Second Life in higher education. Using a single…

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…

Purpose: The study discusses the importance of workplace learning in the current era of work and how organisations are shifting their focus toward employee learning and development. It highlights the need for employees to continuously up-skill themselves to keep up with the demand for skills. The purpose of this study is to introduce a modern…

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, restricted access to in-person facilities and traditional experiential learning activities meant that new, online solutions were needed to facilitate student learning/development across the disciplines of Allied Health and Engineering. Purpose: This article describes research conducted as part of an…

While process simulation tools offer immense potential in chemical engineering, effectively integrating them into the educational curriculum poses challenges. This work explored and practiced online-offline blended teaching in process simulation courses. The design of this blended course was based on a comparison of students' performances in fully…
