The time students spend in a learning management system (LMS) is an important measurement in learning analytics (LA). One of the most common data sources is log files from LMS, which do not directly reveal the online time, the duration of which needs to be estimated. As this measurement has a great impact on the results of statistical models in…

School psychologists often administer evidence-based academic interventions such as Explicit Timing in order to increase math fact fluency. However, little is known about the efficacy of adapting Explicit Timing interventions to be used in a virtual format. This dissertation examines the use of virtually delivered Explicit Timing interventions as…

Student preferences for digital learning and the COVID-19 pandemic have increased demand for asynchronous learning activities, including pre-recorded video lectures.
