This study aims to determine the e-learning readiness of Turkish family physicians and to obtain the views of program instructors to design the e-learning system. An online questionnaire was applied, and 1172 family physicians answered, and a semi-structured interview was done with the program educators. Infrastructure and equipment readiness was…

The instructional design and technology field is dynamic, requiring instructional designers to stay abreast through timely professional learning. Social media offers characteristics to collapse the time, geographical, and financial limitations of informal professional learning, but challenges exist. Continuous professional learning requires…

Using a product-based teacher professional development workshop in the Just Do Math program as a case, this study investigated the discourse between teachers and teacher educators from three perspectives, namely focus, form, and flow, to see how the two cohorts communicated in the co-construction, whether the co-construction is feasible to produce…

Purpose: Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for successful learning and lifelong learning in today's rapidly changing world, yet research has shown that many learners need support for SRL. Recently, learning analytics has offered exciting opportunities for better understanding and supporting SRL. However, substantial endeavors are still…

Part of the reason many districts fail to achieve the promise of high-quality professional learning is that they operate with what the authors call a "PD mindset." This mindset manifests in sporadic, one-time events, inservice sessions, guest speakers, webinars, and workshops that are not part of a larger plan or vision. The authors…

Despite their growing importance, differential, process-oriented research on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for professional learning is scarce. This paper explores learner behavior in Enterprise MOOCs using lag sequential analysis. Data from 13 MOOCs on business and technology-related topics with a total of N = 72,668 active learners were…

Transversal skills development is an essential component of doctoral education. The COVID-19 pandemic required the adaptation of five transversal skills modules to online delivery. Instructional design was used to create synchronous and asynchronous teaching to a Virtual Learning Environment. Feedback surveys were used to analyse student…

As online learning in higher education expands, institutions are challenged to meet the needs of diverse students. COVID has further emphasized the need for inclusive online course design for all learners, especially those with disabilities. We interviewed instructional designers about their perceptions, knowledge, and responsibilities in…

Integrating the use of large datasets into our teaching provides critical and unique opportunities to build students' skills and conceptual knowledge. Here, we discuss the core components needed to develop effective activities based on large datasets, which align with the 5E learning cycle. Data-based activities should be structured around a…

The focus of this study is on enhancing cultural competency and increasing an ethnorelative worldview perspective among instructional designers through an innovative approach that integrates global professionals and reciprocal learning. The study is grounded in the context of Arizona State University's mission to create inclusive learning…

Collaborative design (co-design) involving practitioners and researchers is emerging as a productive context for addressing theoretical as well as practical issues of teaching and learning. Co-design affords learning opportunities for "all" participants, although the focus has typically been on teachers. In this study, the Interconnected…

The recent call for education to support student creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking has required a change in traditional views of teaching and learning.

Universities globally have been increasingly looking to bring in professionals with expertise in learning and curriculum design to help with educational innovation. The aim of this study was to explore the epistemological views of learning that people in curriculum and learning design roles use to inform their practice. In this study, ten learning…

This systematic review aims to analyze trends in academic studies evaluating online learning environments that incorporate gamification elements and the relationship between these elements and learning outcomes. A total of 24 theses and 41 articles, published between 2013 and 2021, were included in the study, selected based on predefined keywords…

Conference participation and presentation are core practices in research and professional communities. For individual participants they are places to learn about and share recent research findings and emerging practices, and to meet and network with colleagues. Extensive lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic meant that formerly face-to-face…
