Oral demonstration of knowledge is an effective learning and assessment strategy. It has been shown that generating explanations to oneself, or self-explaining, can improve student understanding of information. This can be achieved via student-generated videos. The quantitative effects of student-generated videos on learning and assessment in…

Providing consistent, individualized feedback to teachers is essential for improving instruction but can be prohibitively resource-intensive in most educational contexts. We develop M-Powering Teachers, an automated tool based on natural language processing to give teachers feedback on their uptake of student contributions, a high-leverage…

Employers want graduates who excel in communication, collaboration, and teamwork. But implementing activities and assessments to support this skill development can be challenging in higher education large-enrollment classes where the balance between the extra work it creates for faculty and perceived value for students must be carefully…

The call for transformation of nursing education continues to be supported by professional nursing organizations and nursing leaders. It is needed to support transition of nursing graduates who are facing an increasing technological work environment, higher patient acuity, and the challenges of making rapid critical decisions for care. The current…

This multicase study explores how instructors at one higher education institution used an emerging technology, Gradescope, in their large classes to support the assessment of student learning. The study examined the practices of two instructors who taught large lecture classes with more than 100 students and used Gradescope to assist with the…

The purpose of this paper is to present the use of emerging technologies in MOOCs as a practical remedy to facilitate the globalization of higher education by alleviating many of the challenges that institutions encounter while establishing international compatibility and competitiveness. The globalization of higher education is important for…

Learning assistants (LAs) play an important role in inquiry-oriented physics instruction in large classrooms. LAs increase the teacher-student ratio and provide timely support to student exploration. Questioning is believed to be an advantageous strategy for LAs to scaffold student learning and maintain students as the agent of knowledge…

Universities have a wealth of new digital tools and methodologies at their disposal for educational processes. It is difficult to know which of the many options to use, but it makes sense to combine methodologies to increase student satisfaction and, above all, to reduce drop-out rates. The study used a questionnaire survey in a mass course to see…

Although some studies have explored massive open online courses (MOOCs) discussion forums and MOOC online reviews separately, studies of both aspects are insufficient. Based on the theory of self-determination, this paper proposes research hypotheses that MOOC learning progress has a direct impact on MOOC online reviews and an indirect influence…

Instructors with a high sense of inclusive teaching efficacy appear to create classroom climate where learners with a range of learning styles and abilities perform well. There is quite limited research on inclusive teacher efficacy, a construct gaining considerable attention by scholars globally. This transcendental phenomenological study of…

We report on a systematic review of the landscape of peer assessment in massive open online courses (MOOCs) with papers from 2014 to 2020 in 20 leading education technology publication venues across four databases containing education technology-related papers, addressing three research issues: the evolution of peer assessment in MOOCs during the…

The logistics and cost of running large class tutorials to improve learning for students in high enrolment courses raise questions about whether the associated effort and cost are worthwhile. The option to replace these class activities with online homework with its promise of built-in feedback is attractive. Using an activity theory lens and an…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have, in recent years, become increasingly popular. An important challenge facing MOOCs is the "teacher bandwidth problem": in the MOOC environment, where there are potentially hundreds of thousands of students, it is impossible for a few teachers to interact with individual students -- in other words,…

MOOC is an innovative method in modern education, particularly important for sharing of excellent educational resources worldwide. To realize the full potential of MOOC, we need to understand the factors influencing MOOC success. In this study a theoretical framework has been proposed by integrating a self-regulated learning theory and DeLone and…

The aim of the present work is to contribute to the study of use intention for technologies related to the increasingly popular massive open online courses (MOOCs). Informed by a scientific literature review, the work proposes a behavioral model to explain use intention via various constructs. The results of the analysis verify the effect of user…
