The purpose of this qualitative case study was to discover how an institution accredited by the Higher Learning Commission provided follow-up and continual training to develop faculty designers (designers-by-assignment; DBAs) for the instructional design process. A gap to fill in the literature regarded evidence-based data that report on the range…

Due to COVID-19, all classes in schools have been converted to distance learning using online platforms. However, various problems were raised when converting face-to-face classes to online distance learning. In particular, the difficulties were more pronounced for practical design courses because they include practical experience. In this…

The learning sciences inherently involve interdisciplinary research with an overarching objective of advancing theories of learning and to inform the design and implementation of effective instructional methods and learning technologies. In these endeavors, learning sciences encompass diverse constructs, measures, processes, and outcomes…

Students with significant support needs (SSN) have often been denied the breadth and depth of literacy instruction compared to their nondisabled peers. However, exposure to academic literacy increases when students with SSN are educated with their peers without disabilities within inclusive settings. While exposure is the first step to accessing…

Drawing on the disability justice paradigm of care work (Piepzna-Samarasinha), this article moves to shift the labor of resilience from students to our course design, noting how models of student resilience are often tied to ableist expectations of performance and coherence. The authors share their ongoing experiments in creating…

Employing a flipped classroom is an excellent way to increase student engagement, integrate material, and elevate learning from memorization to application. This case highlights the design, development, implementation and evaluation of a flipped classroom approach for a large group of medical students at a US military medical school. We discuss…

Background: With the increasing interdisciplinarity between computer science (CS) and other fields, a growing number of non-CS students are embracing programming. However, there is a gap in research concerning differences in programming learning between CS and non-CS students. Previous studies predominantly relied on outcome-based assessments,…

Following the global COVID-19 pandemic, digital learning environments have gained in importance in education all around the world. A new digital learning format called a "Digital Learning Module" (DLM) was developed within the Physics Education Research (PER) group at CERN, consisting of a series of prerecorded explanatory and experiment…

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into early childhood education raises important pedagogical questions about how to design inclusive, multimodal learning experiences that nurture children's agency and critical literacies. This paper analyzes sixty AI-enhanced teaching scenarios, developed during a national training program, through…

Curved Side Spaces (BRSL) in learning need to be presented with learning media to make it easier for students to understand the concept. This research aims to produce learning media based on technology and cultural values. The media in question is (BRUSLE) an Android application that can be accessed via mobile with augmented reality hologram…

The recent popularity of computational thinking (CT) and the desire to apply CT in our daily lives have prompted the need for a successful pedagogical technique for learning CT in K-12 education. The application of co-design pedagogical techniques has the potential to improve students' CT learning through knowledge sharing and the creation of…

This study originates from the observation during teaching and student interactions that students in industry-academic cooperative programs have very limited time to dedicate to coursework. The target group for this research consists of third-year students in the Mechanical Engineering industry-academia collaborative training program, and sessions…

This article reports on the results of an investigation into what matters to learners of language Massive Open Online Courses (LMOOCs). The study conducted content and sentiment analyses of learner reviews of LMOOCs to investigate the key themes/subthemes in learner reviews and learners' emotional tendencies in the themes/subthemes as well as…

The majority of U.S. college students have experienced a traumatic event that could impact their health, social life, and academic success. While faculty are encouraged to implement trauma-informed teaching practices, rigorously studied resources do not exist for online courses. We address this gap by presenting findings from an initial study of…

Needs assessment is a fundamental step in the instructional design process where instructional designers must determine the difference between the current state of affairs and a desired state. Throughout the needs assessment process, the instructional designer must feel comfortable making decisions and assumptions based on the information that has…
