This research explores programs designed to support the mentorship of online instructional designers in higher education. The study investigated the characteristics of mentorship within institutions as well as professional development opportunities offered through external providers. Mixed-methods data was collected from instructional design…

This study explores student engagements with hybrid writing courses, revealing their experiences and perceptions of a modality that blends in-person and online instruction. Hybrid learning as a format is often overshadowed by its association with fully online instruction. After a number of writing courses on our campus were redesigned for hybrid…

Conducting survey research in rural educational contexts presents unique challenges and requires specific methodological considerations. This article provides an overview of potential adaptations that may help support effective, valid, and impactful rural survey research and a brief review of survey research published in "Rural Special…

Evaluation is essential to achieving program outcomes, especially when stakeholders engage with evaluation and make use of the findings. Both of these activities require evaluation capacity that might not be present in community-based organizations. In this paper, we describe how community-university partnership models can support evaluation…

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a teaching approach in which learning experiences are designed and adapted to meet students' diverse needs to facilitate student success. Advocates of this approach have implemented it in primarily K-12 learning environments with limited investigations into implementing it in college/engineering course…

The rising cost of housing in California has made it increasingly difficult for teachers and other school staff to live near their places of work, exacerbating teacher shortages and staff retention challenges. In response, local educational agencies (LEAs) across the state have begun developing workforce housing to provide affordable living…

This multiple case study explored the differences in online course design across disciplines using the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework as a lens. While the CoI framework was developed to be generic, research on the CoI and disciplinary differences has called for changes to the framework, yet none of the studies have considered the…

Students exhibit diverse cognitive styles, necessitating tailored educational approaches. However, the integration of Generative AI (GenAI) tools into design education presents challenges in accommodating the diverse cognitive styles of Industrial Design (ID) students. This study aims to identify students' cognitive styles in a GenAI environment,…

This conceptual replication study, building upon Bartholomew (2020), addresses a notable gap in the literature by investigating the potential of using learning by evaluating (LbE) as an interview primer for individual assignments in design coursework. While peer feedback commonly involves both giving and receiving feedback, LbE uniquely focuses on…

Design activities are increasingly used in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Guiding students during these activities can be challenging for STEM teachers, who may be inexperienced in the field of design. In this study, we focused on a case of three chemistry teachers who implemented design projects in their…

Undergraduate engineering students are commonly introduced to design in their first year and tackle a more authentic design challenge during senior year, with intervening courses focused on technical problem solving. Along this trajectory, students should acquire skills related to the development of engineering requirements, which are important to…

Critical research on data visualisations in education has so far mostly focused on the representation of numeric data in dashboards or graphs. Consequently, the question of how schools are made visible and (re)enacted through visual structures on data-mediated interfaces more broadly -- what we call Graphic Data Visualisations (GDV) -- has…

In this supplement to the reprint of "A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Designing Social Futures," Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope revisit the foundational ideas of the New London Group thirty years after the article's publication. They explore how the multiliteracies framework has evolved over time in response to changes in technology, media,…

This article provides a framework and strategies to position students as co-creators of service initiatives rather than just participants and outlines the myriad benefits of this approach for advancing impact. Scholarship on student engagement in community service often focuses on the what and why of program design while bypassing the…

The recognition that researcher discretion coupled with unconscious biases and motivated reasoning sometimes leads to false findings ("p-hacking") led to the broad embrace of study preregistration and other open-science practices in experimental research. Paradoxically, the preregistration of quasi-experimental studies remains uncommon…
