There is already an abundant literature on the virtues of simulation in education. However, there is also a lack of assessment instruments to determine the impact of virtual simulation and virtual exchange on participants' self-realisation of learning in teacher education. The aim of this study is to identify the variables that best describe…

A comparative longitudinal data analysis between two online non-thesis master's programs--natural resource management and environmental science--in a college of natural resources to determine the relationship between student characteristics and disenrollment risks. Risks varied between the two programs, with significance found to increase the risk…

Grounded in Vygotskian sociocultural theory, we propose a novel methodology for second language teacher cognition research called "dialogic restorying." We exemplify this methodological innovation by presenting a qualitative longitudinal project in which we prompted L2 teachers to revisit and restory what Veresov (2017) calls…
