Despite the popularity of massive open online courses (MOOCs), only a small portion of the course participants successfully complete the course. The low completion rate can be partially attributed to the mismatch between the participants' expectations and value delivered by the courses. Therefore, this study leverages MOOC reviews to investigate…

This study used a quantitative descriptive design and the CIPP model to evaluate the impact a co-requisite model had on students' passing rates in entry-level college math courses. The co-requisite model has become the alternative to the traditional developmental education sequence, and understanding how it impacts students' passing rates is…

Some researchers have questioned the use of dropout metrics to assess the quality of MOOCs. The main reason for this doubt is that participants register for online courses with different intentions. Therefore, it is proposed to use a learner-centred approach and to study the learner intention-fulfilment. Researchers studied the effect of…

Learning analytics research presents challenges for researchers embracing the principles of open science. Protecting student privacy is paramount, but progress in increasing scientific understanding and improving educational outcomes depends upon open, scalable and replicable research. Findings have repeatedly been shown to be contextually…

This article presents the details of a business analytics minor that we created at our institution in the fall of 2019. In the two years since, our program has successfully met our enrollment goals. Out of over 50 minors offered at our institution, our business analytics minor is currently ranked fourth in enrollment. In this article we will…

Traditionally, counselor education instruction has taken place in the face-to-face format. However, with the shift toward online learning, more counselor education programs are incorporating distance education into the curriculum. Counselor educators continue to study the impact of distance education methods on student learning, but studies are…

Nationally, as the chemical community aspires to become more diverse, it is essential to make students of all races, ethnicities, gender expressions, and physical abilities feel welcomed and represented in the introductory courses in the field. One way to accomplish this goal is to present examples of scientists who are not traditionally included…

Learner participation in MOOCs provides learners opportunities to create value through their experience. However, little is known about how their participation affects value co-creation and satisfaction in the learning process. Employing the service-dominant (S-D) logic, the value co-creation theory, and satisfaction theory as the theoretical…

The Young-Laplace (Y-L) equation relates the pressure difference across the interface of two fluids (such as air and water) to the curvature of the interface. The pressure rises on crossing a convex interface such as a rain drop and falls on crossing a concave interface such as the meniscus of water in a glass capillary. The relation between…

Building on the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) developed by Kathy Swan, John Lee, and S.G. Grant as an instructional articulation of the C3 Framework, Ryan Crowley and LaGarrett King suggest that teachers engage in a critical inquiry when addressing injustices. They recommend teachers accomplish this by designing inquiries that question systems of…

Interactive classroom demonstrations (ICDs) are used extensively in physics, and prior studies indicate that, when conducted under certain conditions, they lead to appreciable increases in student gains and retention. The literature suggests that the ICD recipe for maximizing student gain is to (i) introduce the physical theory that will be…

As students in online courses usually show differences in their cognitive levels and lack communication with teachers, it is difficult for teachers to grasp student perceptions of the importance of knowledgepoints and to develop personalized teaching. Though recent studies have paid attention to this topic, existing methods fail to calculate the…

This paper is exploratory in a sense: I explore the possibility of feminist pragmatism as a pedagogical position compatible with online education. I argue in this paper that feminist pragmatism (FP) can be an important philosophic resource to continually challenge and change the online educational conversation. Contemporary feminist pragmatism is…

Experiential learning (EL) is a process of learning through doing, while experiential education incorporates the pedagogies and structures that support this process. As the benefits of EL have become more evident, experiential engineering education (EEE) efforts like design courses, have increasingly been integrated into undergraduate curricula.…

Purpose: This article considers the impact of competing knowledge structures in teaching Australian Indigenous history to undergraduate university students and the possibilities of collaborative teaching in this space. Design/methodology/approach: The authors, one Aboriginal and one non-Aboriginal, draw on a history of collaborative teaching that…
