Linds, Warren; Jhunjhunwala, Tejaswinee; Nadarajah, Linthuja; Starnino, Antonio; Vettraino, Elinor – LEARNing Landscapes, 2021

Banja, John – Journal of Character Education, 2021

Eaton, Sarah Elaine – Online Submission, 2021
The COVID-19 crisis challenged us to learn, teach, and work in ways we never had before. As we move further into 2021 more educational institutions are thinking about how online teaching and learning can become a permanent way of offering programs.

Chu, Clara M. – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2015
Student-centered learning was the pedagogical approach that was tried but found wanting in Charles Martell's classroom; the experience which he describes in his 1972 "JELIS" article.

León Pérez, Isabel K.; Martín-Martín, Pedro – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2016
In experimental disciplinary fields such as medicine, the writing up of a research paper in English may represent a major hurdle, especially for inexperienced writers and users of EAL (English as an Additional Language), mainly due to a lack of familiarity with international discourse conventions. Despite the efforts of many EAP (English for…

I argue that a more useful conception of critical thinking is as a form of…
