Institutions are increasingly supplementing their traditional class formats with hybrid approaches that mix in-person, remote synchronous, and remote asynchronous delivery methods. Even when the student population expects and appreciates more flexibility in scheduling, students still struggle with technology-enhanced instruction when course design…

As education is a global concern, utilising educational technology to facilitate teaching and learning activities has been widely practised almost everywhere at every minute for decades. Revisiting the historical development of a particular technology is noteworthy to education practitioners, historians and various interested parties. Concerning…

In this study, we investigate how pre-service teachers' group dialogues emerged and intersected across time and space as students collaboratively constructed a video-based mind map to prepare for oral exams in a pedagogy course. The study was conducted as part of a design-based research project investigating the ways that video-based mind maps can…

Hybrid flexible learning is a mechanism for providing flexible learning to both online and on-campus students. Synchronous HyFlex teaching uses both technology and pedagogy to connect both groups within the same cohort. It is gaining popularity in higher educational institutions, but it also can create challenges associated with pedagogy,…

A recent increase in blended course options has changed the landscape of higher education, necessitating revisions of prior categorization of blended online and in-person course models. Building on the Mixed Instructional eXperience (MIX) taxonomy using current literature and course models, we developed three key parameters for defining course…

With the traditional jigsaw technique, small groups are formed with each student having a piece of information needed to complete the assignment. Next, groups of students with the same information meet to explore their material before returning to their home group to complete the assignment. This study sought to determine the efficacy of a…

This study assesses the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and efficacy of a novel asynchronous video-based intervention for teaching respiratory physiology and anatomy to medical students in resource-limited settings. A series of short video lectures on pleural anatomy, pulmonary physiology, and pathophysiology was created using…

While enrollment has been declining across higher education over the last decade, online education is one sector consistently enjoying enrollment gains, making its success indispensable to many institutions. Transactional distance theory has been used to study the experiences of online students and faculty and asserts that dialogue reduces the…

This study aims to explore the difference between on-line and off-line teaching and comprehensively evaluate the of elearning system operation effect as both technology-mediated learning and an open information system. This study develops "process-situation-result" (PSR) network, a comprehensive learning system evaluation model. It…

The teaching and creative movement course incorporates details of physical movements most suitable to be conducted face-to-face. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably changed pedagogical methodologies, forcing this course to be conducted online via the medium of technology. Therefore, this paper explains the challenges and advantages of…

Technology has become a fundamental aspect of learning, yet many course instructors are hesitant to incorporate various forms of technology into their instructional design. This study sought to determine how course instructors can be assisted and supported to incorporate various asynchronous and synchronous technologies and strategies to course…

The current study examines the impact of teacher video presence on student performance and satisfaction in a regular asynchronous online course required as part of an undergraduate accounting program. For a sample of 115 students registered in the course, the results indicate that 'enhanced strategic' teacher video presence does not lead to better…

The transition to online instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic brought about many changes in the methods of teaching of the physical classroom. This sudden shift required teachers to plan and implement their teaching and assessment online, using videoconferencing software and online learning platforms. Switching to online instruction posed…
