The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between intentional online information seeking, incidental online information seeking, eHealth literacy, and shared decision-making; the relationship between intentional online information seeking, incidental online information seeking, information overload, eHealth literacy, information…

This article is based upon Peter Sullivan's (2021) structured inquiry approach to teaching mathematics, in which the authors take a deep dive into the technique of "Spotlighting" in the "Explore" phase of this model to assist in optimal learning experiences for students. Working from the premise that students are best placed to…

This article, by Tomoyuki Kawashima, presents two listening activities, using nonnative speakers as models, that "broaden … students' perspectives on English and enhance their self-perception as future English users." The activities help students understand that everyone, even native speakers, has an accent, and that sounding…

The differences between computer-mediated and in-person learning are of increasing interest to educators, both with the rise of fully online education offerings and the move to 'blended learning' when teachers use computer-mediated learning to supplement and extend classroom activities. This paper offers a narrative history of the world's first…

Group projects are expected in contemporary engineering curricula, and yet they often pose a challenge to students and instructors alike. Could making projects personally relevant help? The present study created and tested a conceptual framework regarding the impact of personal relevance on groupwork in a project-based learning (PBL) course. We…

This study addresses lack of student engagement in large English as a second language (ESL) classes at a Pakistani university, using cooperative learning within the framework of participatory action research. A reconnaissance of the literature and thorough situation analysis led to an initial plan based on two cooperative learning strategies:…

In Krashen's theory of second-language acquisition he claims that there is distinction between language acquisition and language learning, a distinction which other second-language acquisition researchers have called "perhaps the most important conceptualization" in the field and which has made possible the most productive models of SLA.…

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 made universities switch rapidly to e-learning, which enabled continuous access to education. Thus, the evaluation of e-learning engagement is essential to ensure students are engaged in their studies just as it is in the conventional face-to-face classroom. The students are totally in control of their participation…

Virtual worlds, like Second Life, are transformative innovations in education. These immersive 3D environments offer teachers and students unique opportunities beyond traditional classrooms. They foster active learning, allowing students to interact, manipulate objects, and engage with diverse content. This multimodal approach accommodates various…

In a time when natural disasters and health crisis afflict the world, understanding the relationship between flow and fear provides an opportunity to better shape learner experiences in difficult times. The use of film as a pedagogical approach provides a unique perspective to better understand flow and fear in learners. Previous research…

This study is the first to investigate subject-level variability in sociolinguistic evaluative judgements by 30 adult L2 German learners and explore whether the observed variability is characterizable as a function of individual differences in proficiency, exposure, and motivation. Because group-level estimates did not paint an accurate picture of…

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the higher education undergraduate student body and the structure of course offerings have drastically changed. As we continue to transition from emergency remote courses to quality online learning experiences, we must respond thoughtfully as well as empirically. The purpose of this study was to examine quality…

This research addresses the conceptual and methodological challenges of studying transformative learning within the context of international education. A comprehensive framework is employed to identify key dimensions of transformative learning, and a validated instrument (Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory) is used to quantitatively assess…

Online executive education courses are a specialized mode of learning used by organizational leaders to develop knowledge in discrete subjects. Universities that offer these courses may lack the technology skills to develop such courses with supportive artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Instructors of such courses serve as adjuncts who are…

Today, with the extension of learning management systems (LMSs) and the diversity of learners' needs for online learning, instructors have to be assisted to adapt their syllabus to meet learners' needs. Therefore, it is necessary to tailor course instruction to meet individual needs and determine how well they serve the learners using these online…
