While many espouse the promise of online credit recovery (OCR) courses, the abrupt shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic renewed concerns about theses courses'…

As the food industry becomes globally connected, it is essential to provide Food Science students with experience working in virtual teams before they enter the workforce. Working in teams virtually brings extra challenges due to a lack of face-to-face interactions. FSHN 230, Professional Issues in Food Science (asynchronously online), allowed…

Graduate students may begin their studies with confidence in their ability to succeed, but many do not complete their programs. Stress is one of the most significant contributors to the lack of persistence and subsequent failure to complete. In second language acquisition theory and teaching practice, stress is often described within the context…

Emergency online learning policies were created and implemented at higher education institutions across the United States as the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a transition to fully online learning modalities to mitigate the dangers of the virus late in 2019.

Purpose: This research aims to look at how students feel about taking online learning (OL) while studying in higher education institutions (HEIs) using an extended technology acceptance model (TAM). The study looked into the factors that influence students' decisions to use OL, which helps meet their individual needs beyond the confines of the…

Students in an animal physiology course are required to have completed prerequisite cell biology and genetics courses that include discussion of basic properties and functions of the cell membrane. However, while many students remember basic information about membrane structure, they often have difficulty relating that structure to membrane…

In online education, the appropriate choice of means of knowledge visualization can reduce cognitive load and improve cognitive efficiency. However, no universal basis for selection can cause confusion in the pedagogical context. This study used the revised Bloom's taxonomy to combine the types of knowledge with cognitive goals. We used a course…
