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…

Gamification, the use of game design elements in non-gaming context, has been introduced to education as a novel teaching and learning approach to engage learners. Current literature has focused on finding ways to afford the playfulness and gamefulness of gamification. This paper has studied college students' perceptions of pleasure in learning to…

This multiple case analysis examines how AI ethics education's unique characteristics transform traditional e-learning approaches in synchronous and asynchronous environments. Through analysis of two contrasting cases -- Loyola Marymount University's synchronous workshops and Usher and Barak's asynchronous module -- the study investigates how…

COVID-19 saw a number of courses and programs in higher education transition to online platforms. While online learning environments provide novel opportunities for pedagogy and technological integration, it is essential that educators feel they are supported with teaching via a new medium. Introductory mathematics and statistics courses have also…

This study was carried out in order to investigate the impact of implementing video-based predict-observe-explain (POE) on students' scientific literacy, particularly in chemistry's concept of salts. The hypothesis of this study was that students' scientific literacy would improve after implementing video-based POE within teaching, in the context…

This study aim is to investigate the activity which maintain the engagement of students and improve student's learning achievement in the herbal medicine module during a distance learning course that was conducted by the faculty of medicine Universitas Indonesia through Student Centered e-Learning Environment (SCeLE). The data collected from log…

This study aimed to determine the impact of using web vinnarrai.com as an e-learning tool on a physics course (fluid mechanics) in Universitas Negeri Jakarta (an Indonesian University) to increase student creative thinking skills through educational management. The study employed a quasi-experimental method, with the pre-test and post-test control…

This study explored the effectiveness of an adaptive web-based learning tutorial designed to teach three modules of a college level introductory statistics course. Specifically, the impact of the tutorial on student knowledge, motivation, and study time was examined. One hundred thirty four college students were randomly assigned to study from…

As the practice of e-learning continues to proliferate, online educators, especially in the computing disciplines, are facing special challenges, due to the lack of relevant literature, the technical nature of the courses, and the perceived need for direct student support mechanisms. This paper presents a constructivist instructional approach to…

Instructor-made-videos (IMVs) are often used to foster learning in higher education. However, there is a dearth of studies on IMVs for any instructor to understand and replicate the success. In response, to better inform practice, the impact of IMVs on learning effectiveness and satisfaction was evaluated. Thereafter, an actionable framework…

Education and training is widely acknowledged as being one of the key factors for leveraging organisational success. However, it is equally acknowledged that skills development and the acquisition of learning through managed cognitive approaches has yet to provide a "perfect" match. Whilst it is argued that an ideal learning scenario…

When the Mayo Effect video went live on the Mayo intranet in June 2010, it was very well received at Mayo Clinic. The message in the video was so effectively delivered that it became an instant sensation across the institution. The video contains about 461 words. In such a short video, every part of its architectural design, whether it is visual,…

Combining elements of online and face-to-face education, blended learning is emerging as an important teaching and learning model in higher education. In order to examine the effectiveness of blended learning, as compared to the traditional face-to-face learning mode, this research investigated the learning outcomes of students following English…

The Internet Generation today is accustomed to multi-tasking, graphics, fun, and fantasy. Educators are finding it challenging to engage and motivate students with the traditional mode of teaching. They are increasingly seeking to tap the potential of game-based learning to engage and motivate learners. Game-based learning is also catching on in…

An argument is presented that the quest for quality teaching and learning in MOOCs should not be limited to merely demonstrating that these innovative learning environments have the same levels of effectiveness as traditional educational approaches (e.g., classroom instruction), but rather that they can exactly go beyond current levels of impact.…
