Twenty-first century higher education instructors are continually tasked to review, align, pilot, adopt, infuse, and evaluate new tools and resources into curricula rich with standards regardless of course format (online/ distance, hybrid, and face-to-face courses). Demands often overwhelm instructors who cannot assume that all students approach…

Introduction: In the past decade, use of screen media has increased dramatically among young adults. Statement of Problem: Mounting evidence suggests that high levels of media use are associated with a range of negative psychological outcomes. Literature Review: We present instructions for a four-day electronic media fast assigned in a course…

The process of talent development with children and young adults who have participated in programs based on the Enrichment Triad and the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) has been the focus of research by Renzulli and Reis, as well as other scholars and colleagues, for over four decades. Periodic summaries of this extensive research have been…

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the lives of millions. It has caused untold human suffering, delivered a sudden, sharp shock to sectors including retail, hospitality, travel and arts and culture, and placed health services around the world under enormous strain. Education has also been affected. When teaching and learning were forced to…

Published by Stylus in association with AAC&U, this publication provides expert guidance on deploying the ePortfolio as a high-impact practice. The authors present a comprehensive research-based framework, along with practical examples and strategies for implementation. They also identify key considerations to be addressed in the areas of…

Since data collection technologies has become a part of daily life, measurement and data requirements now permeate many state mathematics standards, beginning as early as kindergarten and extending through high school. For example, the Standards for Mathematical Content, recommend that kindergarteners "describe and compare measurable…

Did you ever wonder how rising inequality and polarisation will shape education? Or how advances in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and other technologies could transform teaching and learning? Trends Shaping Education is a triennial report exploring the social, technological, economic, environmental and political forces transforming…

Across the United Kingdom Higher Education system, the percentage of white students attaining a first or upper second-class degree exceeds the that of Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) students. This is known as the BAME degree awarding gap. Awarding gaps are also seen at the module level. The BAME module awarding gap is defined as the difference…

Due the wideness of the term Physical Computing, there is a need for a better structure of this topic. This paper is about an approach of structuring this field by finding attributes of different physical computing devices which can be used in class. Those attributes are meant to enforce teachers as well as researchers to analyze different devices…

In this article, the author details how art teachers can reframe post-internet art as a catalyst for teaching and learning toward the future in art education curriculum development. The ideas presented here could be adapted to K-12 and university-level teaching and learning in art education, particularly coursework that focuses on introducing…

We demonstrate that the simplicity of preparing functional microfluidic devices using 3D printing is well suited for undergraduate laboratories. Educational experiments utilizing non-paper-based microfluidic devices are often relegated to well-equipped, resource rich universities because traditional fabrication techniques require specialized and…

Integrated classrooms and 1:1 initiatives are growing in popularity and maturity. Each year, new school- and district-wide 1:1 initiatives launch. Even if schools are not yet a 1:1 environment, teachers and students likely incorporate and encounter more technology with each passing semester. While new initiatives launch each year, the first wave…

Critique is a primary method of assessment and feedback used in design education, yet is not well understood apart from traditional instructor-led activities in physical learning spaces. In this study, we analyze a series of group critiques in a human-computer interaction learning experience, focusing on an emergent instructional design for…

A computational laboratory experiment investigating molecular models for hexagonal boron-carbon-nitrogen sheets (h-BCN) was developed and employed in an upper-level undergraduate chemistry course. Students used the Avogadro user interface for molecular editing and the WebMO interface for the quantum computational workflow. Density functional…

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution and the intelligent economy, this conceptual chapter explores the evolution of educational governance from one based on governing by numbers and evidence-based governance to one constituted around governance by data or data-based educational governance. With the rise of markets and networks in…
