Feedback literacy, the process by which students make meaning and learn from feedback, is frequently low among post-secondary students, perhaps due to lack of training (Carless & Boud, 2018). We sought to determine if students benefitted from feedback literacy training integrated with mindfulness training. We created a six-lesson, online,…

The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the importance of supporting students' comprehensive well-being when teaching online. One promising approach is formative or whole-person education, which emphasizes wholeness, purpose, and community. We created a scale using a polytomous Item Response Theory modeling approach, measuring the extent to which…

Research on multi-attempt online assessments is sparse and inconclusive and lacks the voice of students. To help bridge the gap, this paper analyzes student survey data across multiple supply chain management classes. The results show that students prefer three attempts on quantitative assessments. The preferences do not depend on age, gender or…

Emotional self-efficacy is a vital component in student academic engagement and performance, but few studies have identified emotional self-efficacy profiles from a person-centered perspective and examined their relations to self-regulation, motivation and academic performance in online learning environments. To address this gap, we performed…

During online group learning, students constantly encounter socio-emotional challenges that can trigger negative social emotions. These emotions weaken their psychological safety, disrupt communication, strain peer relationships, and ultimately lower productivity and contribution to group tasks. As a result, their attitude towards group learning…

Online collaborative learning has been an effective pedagogy in the field of education. However, productive collaborative learning cannot occur spontaneously. Learners often have difficulties in collaborative knowledge building, group performance, coregulated behaviors, learning engagement, and social interaction. To promote productive…

This paper studies the circulation of learner emotions during a tertiary chitchatting e-tandem called "Bab(b)elade." In this online collaborative language learning project, students of French and Dutch develop each other's foreign language competence in an informal setting, away from 'classic' academic requirements. Using questionnaire…

This study examined how peer assessment and self-assessment influence higher education students' use of three modes of regulation of learning (self-regulation, co-regulation, and socially shared regulation) in an online collaborative task during the COVID-19 epidemic. Twenty-one first-year undergraduate students were assigned to one of three…

The absence of instructional support during peer feedback prevents students from engaging with peer feedback. This study adopted regulated dialogic feedback as the instructional foundation and investigated its impact on students' engagement using an experimental research design. Students in the experimental group (n = 26) performed the feedback…

This paper reports on an innovation of allowing higher education students to select their preferred mode of feedback. The aim was to investigate how a sample of 35 postgraduate students perceived and experienced self-selected feedback mode (audio, video or written) as part of an online research subject. Participants were invited to complete a…

The design of social learning analytics (SLA) tools has become a practical means to make available learning information with a goal to improve students' regulation, reflection, and engagement in online learning. This design-based research uses the multi-method analytics to iteratively design, implement, and modify the SLA tool that makes available…

Design education has traditionally been deemed a face-to-face endeavor causing online learning to be disregarded as a viable teaching option. Nonetheless, the recent impact of COVID-19 pressured design schools to rapidly migrate online, impelling many educators to utilize this unfamiliar and largely dismissed methodology. The impending problems…

As the focus on optimizing the learning experience within online courses has sharpened, the features of Learning Management Systems (LMS) have evolved to allow for more multimodal instruction. While these features have become more sophisticated, there is still much to learn about how to best integrate them into the teaching and learning process,…

Distance education has increased steadily since the onset of COVID-19. As online offerings become a staple in programs of study, rather than the exception, it is important to consider how instructors design their courses to incorporate feedback as well as how they promote active student involvement in feedback processes. In this paper, the authors…

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a significant shift toward online Education. However, this transition has raised concerns about assessment, distance learning effectiveness, and student workload. These pandemic-induced conditions may also lead to ethical challenges in education. Despite existing research on ethical issues in…
