The trialogical approach to learning offers a framework for fostering novelty and innovation. However, the framework lacks the details needed to guide practitioners. More studies should understand how it can be effectively adapted into instructional practices. This study addresses this gap by examining collaborative interactions' role in a…

This study advances the emerging research on shared metacognition through the lens of the community of inquiry framework. It seeks components and utterances of the community of inquiry and shared metacognition in online collaborative learning environments to bring an instructional design model to the fore. A three-cycle design-based research…

Collective Intelligence (CI) is important for groups that seek to address shared problems. CI in human groups can be mediated by educational technologies. The current paper presents a framework to support design thinking in relation to CI educational technologies. Our framework is grounded in an organismic-contextualist developmental perspective…

While faculty are subject matter experts in their fields of research, they are often lacking the pedagogical training to support student academic success. Additionally, career readiness skills are increasingly a focus in higher education through the intentional inclusion of soft skills or "21st-century skills" in the classroom.…

This research aims to develop an online Project-Based Collaborative Learning (PBL) model design by utilizing an asynchronous Online Discussion Forum (ODF) that can systematically direct teachers or lecturers as facilitators in learning, and how experts think about the design. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method, this design was…

Stakeholders emphasise that accounting graduates need excellent teamwork skills. Group work activities, included in the academic programme to develop teamwork skills, often lead to 'free-riding' by some students and disillusionment on the part of diligent students. Diligent students often prefer to work alone and could lack teamwork skills as a…

This study, anchored in the empirical domain of student learning experiences, employs the Chaoxing Fanya network teaching platform to delineate a comprehensive model of factors that influence student learning experiences within the framework of blended collaborative learning. Through a rigorous synthesis of extant literature and qualitative…

This book explores analogue game-based learning in the context of the Anthropocene, addressing an urgent need for educational approaches beyond traditional scholastic boundaries. In the context of a complex world, the book emphasises the inadequacies of current educational methods and the potential of game-based learning to foster collective…

Open pedagogy, characterised by students creating or co-creating artefacts that others may use, offers transformative opportunities for students to move beyond passive learning into active content creation. This qualitative study examines the experiences of 25 undergraduate students who engage with open pedagogy principles, including…

The purpose of the online course, Teaching Methodology Economics in the Further Education and Training Phase, is to expose student teachers to the online team-based learning (TBL) strategy as a collaborative teaching and learning approach that allows them to follow an organised procedure. To increase student engagement, accountability and…

An in-depth analysis of collaborative problem solving (CPS) patterns contributes to understand team dynamics and effective paths to conflict resolution. However, there remains the lack of a perspective in the field of CPS research that organically combines the cognitive, meta-cognitive, and social-communicative dimensions. Moreover, the analysis…

While educational environments are swiftly evolving to embrace and offer increased accessibility to technological resources, the inquiry into the appropriate utilisation of Web 2.0 tools in education persists. Thus, this study investigates the efficiency of a blended language learning environment that incorporates Web 2.0 technologies in…

In recent years, digital education has become a cornerstone of higher education, particularly following the rapid expansion of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The specific objective of this study was to identify the key affordances (critical factors) and essential features for effective digital course design within higher education.…

This systematic review examines how gamification and artificial intelligence (AI) can converge to foster essential 21st-century skills like creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in education. The review followed the main PRISMA statement guidelines, resulting in 175 articles for qualitative content analysis and bibliometric network…

Online learning, especially in higher education, has grown in recent years and the study of its didactic implications has also increased. Online experiences have been found to be as successful as face-to-face ones, but there is a concern about a lack of social interaction among students. This makes it necessary for teachers to plan collaborative…
