Technology provides instant information. Appropriate use of diverse types of technology is important in the classroom including a virtual classroom, and integration of technology will enhance the student learning experience. Utilizing a variety of technology will actively engage students with learning objectives, generate communications among…

In this interactive presentation, we will discuss how to actively involve students regardless of modality and delivery. We will discuss the importance of creating daily announcements, weekly videos, and posting daily in discussion forums. We will discuss substantive posting and how to facilitate and lead discussion forums that include the ABC's of…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is a vital 21st-century skill. Ill-structured problems demand effective shared regulation from teams to enhance CPS success. While socially shared metacognitive regulation (SSMR) is crucial in CPS, a deeper understanding of its nature is needed. This study investigates the detailed operationalization of SSMR in…

In this paper, we present research on New Zealand secondary teachers' perspectives of teaching and learning mathematics during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020--2023. We use narrative analyses of interviews to explore the perspectives of eight participant teachers. COVID-19, and its resulting restrictions, were found to impact student-teacher…

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation and the King Prajadhipok's Institute in Thailand created the educational board game PeaceSoCracy, based on the online game available on the Tabletopia platform. The purpose of this board game is to encourage non-violent communication and an empathetic mind. Each process in the game play delivers more than just…

As a result of the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, a rapid transition from the classic classroom-lesson form to a distance form of education was required. Thus, many questions arose regarding the applicability of this training method and its comparison with the classical face-to-face method. This article presents a study of the examination…

The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the world. The pressure on students and higher education institutions is high. Universities have been closed, but solutions to continue teaching and learning activities were offered by the online platforms. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate how university medical students perceive this current form of…

The paper explores current learning approaches. The authors present the Trigger-Based Discussion-Oriented Continuous learning model (TbDoC) that focuses on creating a continuous learning experience over the online and off-line (on-campus) learning environments. The model aims to create a more engaging learning environment that encourages…

The number of students leaving traditional face-to-face public schools and moving to online school environments continues to grow. The National Center for Educational Statistics reported that almost 300,000 K12 students were served in a fully online environment for the 2019-2020 school year (US Department of Education, n.d.). This study…

The validity and specifically the convergent validity of a course's online assessments (i.e. the extent to which the online assessments really measure what is measured by other assessments meant to measure the constructs of the course's learning outcomes) so far receive little attention, especially for business mathematics courses. Based on a…

As part of a large exercise physiology laboratory (lab) reform project, we used blended learning to support graduate teaching assistants and lab technicians in developing their pedagogical knowledge and create an entry point to reflective conversations about teaching and learning. Because self-paced asynchronous online modules can enable…

The paper will try to provide an answer to the question whether there is going to be an opposite reaction to total online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moving totally online was the only outcome at that time, it was not easy either for teachers or for students, however, eventually many of them did quite well and even benefit from the…

To bridge the gap between the learning goals of the classroom and the overtaxed, returning-from-the-pandemic learner, adapting teaching practices to respond to present-day experiences became a way to facilitate success. Weaving anecdotal experiences with pedagogical scholarship, this discussion explores the impact of practices that approach the…

This research study explores nuances to instructional delivery models beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. A case study that examines the redesign and reimagining of a graduate course to fit the diverse needs and preferences of students. This research was intended to provide insight into the possibilities of redesigning and reimagining graduate level…

ASSISTments is a free online learning tool for improving students' mathematics achievement by providing immediate feedback and hints to students, detailed information on how students performed to teachers, and instructional suggestions for teachers to use. Researchers at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation conducted an intrinsic,…
