A scoping review of the online counselor education scholarship from 1997 to 2023 in 27 national and regional peer-reviewed counseling journals yielded a sample of 110 articles. Findings of the scoping review detailed the topics addressed, methodological features, key findings, and recommendations for practice and research.

Online higher education is by no means a new phenomenon but, with the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020, attention was refocused on the capacity of online teaching and learning to meet students' affective and social needs. Positive relationships support these needs but can be challenging to develop when working online. Attending to the…

Motivation is critical to student success in learning environments. However, changes in situation-specific motivation over time are rarely explored among online learners. Drawing from the Situated Expectancy Theory (SEVT), in the current study, I examined changes in situational task-specific task value and cost over the short term and tested the…

The perception of a graduate leadership education program's value by those enrolled is a critical factor in the continued success of the program. This article explores student experiences within an online cohort-based master's-level leadership program. The researchers sought to understand how students rhetorically codified or expressed their…

This research designed an improved collaborative filtering algorithm to be responsible for music recommendation tasks in the online music teaching platform. This algorithm integrates the user's social trust into the similarity calculation formula. Then, the algorithm uses behavioral feature data driven by preferences, music tags, and popularity as…

The Washington State University Extension Forestry program switched to all online programming in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 2,000 people participated in our webinars, providing an opportunity to survey a large audience about their webinar preferences. We found that people prefer webinars that are approximately an hour long and…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate learners' satisfaction and presence levels in five fully online graduate courses in special education that were offered in an eight-week semester, and whether there are any teaching, cognitive and social presence differences among the levels of learner satisfaction. The participants were…

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on students' perspectives regarding online courses. In this study, publication co-citation analysis, author co-citation analysis, and word frequency analysis methods were used to reveal the structure and transformation of online course literature. Descriptive data such as the distribution of…

Philosophical stances and design frameworks, such as value-sensitive design, manifest in design praxis through enacting specific design approaches and employing a variety of methods by the designers. Although it could overlap with other frameworks and approaches in the Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) field, value-sensitive design remains…

Online laboratories have been widely used in education, research, and industrial applications. For online laboratories, various architectures have been constructed to provide good user experience and powerful capabilities for online experimentation, in which the controller is a crucial part to connect the server with a controlled test rig.…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations increased virtual programming and adoption of online technologies. This article outlines the University of California assessment of tools for gathering data on participant learning outcomes from virtual educational programs. After assessing colleagues' experiences and searching for new web applications,…

Rubrics (e.g., Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education (VALUE) rubrics) that measure specific skills exist, and researchers have demonstrated their benefits; however, most of them were designed for use with undergraduate students. Although some rubrics have been created to assess dissertations and oral defenses, few have been…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot to enhance learning and engagement in a self-paced, asynchronous online R programming course. To contextualize the development and potential of RAG chatbots, we conducted a literature review on existing approaches and their use in educational settings.…

One of our favorite face-to-face teaching frameworks is "Launch, Explore, Summarize" (LES). However, transitioning LES activities to online settings challenged us to reimagine how learning and its interactions could be supported in this new environment. We explore our experience transitioning an LES lesson on the quadrilateral hierarchy…

This article presents a general-purpose method for detecting cheating in online courses, which combines anomaly detection and supervised machine learning. Using features that are rooted in psychometrics and learning analytics literature, and capture anomalies in learner behavior and response patterns, we demonstrate that a classifier that is…
