Peer assisted study sessions (PASS), also known as supplemental instruction, are structured peer guided sessions linked to a specific course, led by experienced and trained students called PASS-leaders. These PASS-leaders undergo several days of training before running their first session and receive supervision and feedback "on the…

Although traditional asynchronous tutoring is associated with text-based communication, writing centers are beginning to experiment with asynchronous multimodal tutoring with the assistance of accessible and interactive multimedia technologies and instructional platforms like VoiceThread. Using a mixed-methods approach of surveys and interviews of…

The purpose of this multiple-case study was to investigate how expert instructors in case-based learning (CBL) conceptualize, structure, facilitate, and assess asynchronous online discussions while addressing challenges. Accordingly, we first interviewed three expert instructors with extensive teaching experience using CBL in higher education in…

This online project was created to orient multilingual international students into the new academic context of a major Canadian university by offering them a set of asynchronous interactive self-paced modules. We drew on an academic discourse socialization framework to identify and scaffold areas in need of further development in students'…

In recent years, online education in institutions of higher learning has exponentially expanded the application of digital approaches to learning. The Learning Management Systems (LMS) used by online instruction provide a variety of tools to enhance learning with peers and instructors (Yount & Neild, 2022). One such tool, Asynchronous…

Purpose: Caregivers of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) face numerous challenges, including limited evidence-backed options for learning about oral language and DLD. This explanatory sequential, mixed-methods study quantified and described caregiver perceptions of learning about DLD through an online asynchronous training.…

Flipped classroom pedagogy, primarily focused on in-person classroom settings, emphasizes pre-class independent learning where students engage asynchronously with online materials and self-assessments. However, traditional pre-class learning methods, such as watching pre-recorded instructional videos and completing multiple-choice…

Many Canadian universities actively recruit international students but do not adequately explore or support their unique needs. This article investigates the early stages of additional language socialization occurring among international master's students in an English for academic purposes (EAP) program. Student perspectives on community…

This study addresses the necessity of comprehending the remote learning environment for improving online course design and delivery. The primary objective is to investigate the impact of teaching, cognitive, and social presence, along with learner motivation from the Community of Inquiry framework, on students' learning satisfaction in both…

Purpose: The study aimed to determine whether an online asynchronous program can positively influence undergraduate communication sciences and disorders students' attitudes, beliefs, and actions toward advancing social justice. Method: The study employed a mixed-method design. Participants included 18 undergraduate students from two state…

This article discusses findings from semi-structured interviews with writing consultants about their affective experiences working across three different consulting modalities: in person, asynchronous, and synchronous. This study offers affect as a lens for understanding consultants' responses to and strategies for consulting in multiple…

Once an integral component to library instruction programs, tours of academic library spaces are less common despite students' continued need for study spaces with various qualities. This study asks, "What do students remember after taking an asynchronous, on-site academic library tour?" Qualitative analysis finds that, while students…

This phenomenological study explored the technology tools and modalities that elementary schools used to communicate with and engage parents and families during the COVID-19 health pandemic, and how parents and teachers experienced and perceived the shift from in-person interactions to remote and online communication. The study examined three…

The increasing use of digital platforms in education has opened new avenues for peer interaction, particularly in the realm of language learning. This study explores the role of informal peer feedback on reflective blog posts in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Drawing on sociocultural theory and the concept of dialogic…

Recent developments have led institutions into a transition towards more flexible educational models, such as synchronous hybrid education, i.e., having both on-site and remote students at the same time or multi-access education also providing asynchronous access. It is assumed that these new models can enhance accessibility for learners with…
