The purpose of this…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures globally, leading to significant learning regression in academic performance, skills, and ethical development. This study aims to: 1) synthesize and develop an adaptive micro-learning model based on Dhamma principles using mixed reality (MR), 2) compare pre- and post-test results, and 3) assess the…

The rapid changes in technology available for teaching and learning have led to a wide variety of potential tools that can be deployed to support a student's education experience. This article examines the learning interfaces for pedagogical virtual reality (VR) environments, including immersive VR (iVR). It also looks at how microlearning (ML)…

This study advances the emerging research on shared metacognition through the lens of the community of inquiry framework. It seeks components and utterances of the community of inquiry and shared metacognition in online collaborative learning environments to bring an instructional design model to the fore. A three-cycle design-based research…

This design case centers around a creative assignment given to graduate students studying instructional design. The goal of the assignment is to facilitate mastery of learning theories through the theory-based evaluation of an instructional product, using both research and imagination. By applying learning theories in a practical and engaging…
