This article describes how intentional planning using the principles of Fink's (2013) taxonomy for significant learning and Garrison's (2007) three presences, a traditional face-to-face course can be converted into a strong online course using the best practices of the flipped classroom model that facilitated better student outcomes. The suggested…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the key variable to ensuring success or failure in online learning. However, in real-world online learning, college students face SRL deficiency, such as procrastination, decreased learning motivation, poor time management, and resource management. Therefore, scientifically exploring how to effectively promote the…

Learning Management System (LMS) can track student interactions with digital learning resources during an online learning activity. Learners with different goals, motivations and preferences may exhibit different behaviours when accessing these materials. These different behaviours may further affect their learning performance. The purpose of this…

This study investigates students' perceptions of rehearsal (test preparation) and testing after the pandemic forced increased online teaching use and experimentation. Data was gathered from information and decision sciences (IDS) students in an underrepresented minority (URM) serving university. Responses from 136 participants were analyzed and…

Doctoral supervision is complex and takes place against a background of contextual, political, economic, and cultural affordances/constraints; with multiple purposes; and in a global higher education system. The result can be significant tensions for supervisors and, often, poor student satisfaction and progression. Globally, systematic…

The aim of this study is to investigate how students graphically represent qualitative and quantitative aspects of co-varying quantities in an embodied digital learning environment that provides feedback in the form of an animation showing what kind of motion their graph represents and how this feedback helped them to overcome typical graphing…

Background: Online exercise interventions can improve access to tailored programmes for individuals with intellectual disabilities (including Down syndrome). This paper aimed to describe best practices and provide recommendations for online physical activity or exercise programmes for this population. Method: Two research teams with extensive…

Social factors, including social ties (the extent to which students form social ties with other students in the course) and social capital (the resources which are accessed through our social networks), have been acknowledged as important predictors of learning outcomes. Furthermore, they may be particularly important in online distance learning…

First-year students in a distance learning institution face academic writing challenges arising from inadequate writing skills developed in high school, the need to adapt to new writing standards, and limited language proficiency. These challenges could potentially lead to higher dropout' rates, increased failures, and delayed qualification…

This study aims to determine the e-learning readiness of Turkish family physicians and to obtain the views of program instructors to design the e-learning system. An online questionnaire was applied, and 1172 family physicians answered, and a semi-structured interview was done with the program educators. Infrastructure and equipment readiness was…

Prior research on the "Community of Inquiry" (CoI) framework has a limited amount of work which uses structural techniques to confirm the factorial structure of the CoI. The current study investigates the structural relationships among the three elements of the CoI framework (cognitive presence, teaching presence, and social presence),…

Indiana University (IU) is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which requires accredited institutions to regularly review programs within the institution and act upon the outcomes of the review. There is no single campus-based system for program reviews; therefore, the Office of Collaborative Academic Programs (OCAP) developed…

In this article, we preliminarily discuss the limitations of current video conferencing platforms in online synchronous learning. Research has shown that while the involved technologies are appropriate for collaborative video calls, they often fail to replicate the rich nature of face-to-face interactions among students and between students and…

In today's rapidly changing and technology-driven world, the ability to think creatively is essential for individuals and organizations. To date, technology-based training has become a new trend for learning and training in the 21st century; however, little empirical research has been conducted to enhance creativity through online training. In the…

In a world overflowing with information, how can we adapt our learning methods to thrive? Dave Cormier, a pioneering figure in digital education, presents a thought-provoking manifesto in "Learning in a Time of Abundance." A leading voice in digital learning, Cormier offers a fresh perspective on how we can face the uncertainty of a…
