Students' emotions have been increasingly examined in feedback research. Socioculturally positioned research has particularly noted that emotions do not exist in a vacuum but are contextually situated, which also holds true for feedback encounters. In this scoping review, we provide a synthesis of earlier studies on emotions in feedback in higher…

Institutional researchers use skills from their diverse backgrounds to collect, analyze and report data about their institutions to stakeholders representing various interests and levels of data literacy. However, there is little research into how these professionals process data and none into what aspects are important to institutional…

Learning management systems (LMSs) have facilitated access to courses beyond conventional classroom environments via distance and asynchronous education. Although numerous studies have examined LMS usage in higher education institutions, review of scales measuring the LMS experience of both students and teachers remains scarce. This scoping review…

Given pandemic restrictions on learning and research, autoethnography has recently garnered renewed attention as a potential alternative. Drawing on our experiences as instructor and student, we make the case that autoethnography is not only relevant to pandemic-era teaching but could also offer an effective pedagogical tool to critically engage…

Despite a surge of empirical work on paid Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), a review of factors that drive the sales of them remains unexplored. The study aims to consolidate the existing fragmented knowledge by synthesizing the current literature on quality attributes, methodological approaches, theoretical foundations, and additional research…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the application of the collaborative research supervision approach (CRSA) to learning projects in higher education, using socialisation, externalisation, combination and internalisation (SECI) dimensions. The study, therefore, examined how these dimensions assisted learners in Botswana's higher…

In the United States, HIV disproportionately affects people 13-45 years old, people of color, people in the south, and men who have sex with men.
