Although the demand for video tutorials has risen recently in the field of technical apprenticeship, they can overtax learners, especially novices. Enhancing video tutorials with prompts is a potential support measure to ensure learners focus on the key aspects of learning content. However, open questions remain concerning the prompt type and…

Cross-age tutoring is an educational model where an older tutor is paired with a younger tutee, valued for its economic advantages and capacity to engage participants. This model leads to improvements in both academic performance and behavior, as evidenced by Shenderovich et al. ("International Journal of Educational Research, 76,"…

This study investigated best practices in creating and providing advising materials to students in an asynchronous online environment (i.e., flipped advising). Specifically, we examined the effects of creating advising tutorials in different modalities (i.e., text vs. video), and providing learning support via a pre-tutorial before engaging with…

Undergraduate mathematics tutoring centres are prevalent in many countries; however, there is limited research-based evidence on effective organizational structures for these centres. In this study, we consider two research questions. First, how can the quantitative and qualitative data from 10 mathematics tutoring centres be organized for…

An algebraic model uses a set of algebraic equations to describe a situation. Constructing such models is a fundamental skill, but many students still lack the skill, even after taking several algebra courses in high school and college. For such students, we developed instruction that taught students to decompose the to-be-modelled situation into…

Educational innovations, particularly those in online education and technology-enhanced learning, some accelerated by the recent pandemic, take centre stage in this journal. Examples include the resurgence of the flipped classroom methodology, supported by instructional technology, the utilization of formative assessment with technological…

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, tutoring has gained popularity as a strategy to improve the academic achievement of struggling students. Intensive, relationship-based tutoring is a highly effective academic support for many students. A range of tutoring approaches are available to accelerate young students' literacy. Sarah Novicoff and Susanna Loeb…

Three years of data for 5,617 college online introductory statistics students were examined to determine if embedded course videos reduced incidences of external course tutoring. The frequency of external tutoring in course sections that used embedded videos was significantly reduced by 55% when compared to courses that did not use embedded course…

Standard online tutorials at The Open University, based in the UK, are generally tutor-led with the tutor setting the agenda and content. This study investigated the inclusion of online student-led drop-in tutorials to support assessment on an OU level one module. The aims were to gauge the value to students of this style of tutorial, to…

Single-subjects design has the advantage of providing detailed, individualized analyses of intervention. However, creating a tutorial for single-subject design (SSD) is challenging, and an effective version for online delivery is currently unavailable. Here, we developed an experiential SSD tutorial designed for online delivery and evaluated its…

Web programming courses are practical courses that can only run with the help of computer devices. The content or learning content in web programming courses is in program code directly created with a computer. The models developed include conceptual models, procedural models, and physical models. The research method used is Research and…

It is recognised personal tutors play a role in supporting university students to complete their studies. However, approaches to tutoring differ widely across higher education, resulting in a paucity of reliable impact evidence. The college higher education provider in this research has weekly group tutorials for undergraduates. This mixed method…

This longitudinal study serves as a model for examining and understanding the role of editing and its contributing factors in writing center tutorials. The study quantifies the frequency of and time devoted to editing in over 4,000 writing center tutorials and finds these quantities differ in statistically significant ways when broken down by user…

Current American college administration has been charged with the development of the whole student, producing well-rounded, intelligent graduates ready to enter the workforce. Presently, mentorship and tutoring programs exist in many environments but have no cohesive aim to develop self-authorship. Untapped potential for promotion of college…

We present a two-week active learning chemical engineering hackathon event specifically designed to teach undergraduate chemical engineering students of any skill level data science through Python and directly apply this knowledge to a real problem provided by industry. The event is free and optional to the students. We use self-evaluation surveys…
