Almost five years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the higher education learning environment has been transformed, and research on this transformation is just starting to emerge. This article contributes to this effort by reporting the results of a study comparing two-course delivery formats: hybrid in-person and HyFlex. Results found no…

In this article, we preliminarily discuss the limitations of current video conferencing platforms in online synchronous learning. Research has shown that while the involved technologies are appropriate for collaborative video calls, they often fail to replicate the rich nature of face-to-face interactions among students and between students and…

Online learning has steadily increased since well before the COVID-19 pandemic (Seaman et al., 2018), but research has yet to explore online students' perceptions of online exam proctoring methods. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand the perceptions of fully online students regarding types of proctoring at a large state…

Rapport developed between teachers and students in a typical classroom setting can provide students with a more positive school experience, an increase in learning and performance, and added feelings of social belonging (Cook, et al., 2018). Online learning is associated with many advantages like a more comfortable setting for students to…

In this methodological discussion, a critical and reflective account of the process and use of online photo-elicitation interviews is given. The role and importance of a well-structured pre-interview task are discussed with a working example aiming to capture physiotherapy students' professional doctorate journey. It is argued that…

This study aims to understand students' adoption of ChatGPT in educational settings. Students' perceptions of ChatGPT influence their intentions to adopt it. The factors that influence their adoption include "Perceived Pedagogy", "Perceived Amplification ", Perceived Ingenuity" and "Perceived Ethics " and these…

With the rapid societal emergence of generative artificial intelligence chatbots, calls for responsible use of generative AI permeate public voices among faculty, administration, and Centers for Teaching and Learning. The Diffusion of Innovation Theory seeks to explain how technologies like generative AI large language models are being adopted.…

Given a rapidly evolving disinformation environment, many initiatives are currently being developed to counter the harmful impacts of disinformation. The aim of this study is to explore how an SMS intervention, as a hitherto untested modality for raising awareness of disinformation with promising potential and wide reach, could boost media…

The worldwide education system has experienced new-normal mode of teaching and learning with the prime support of the real-time online platforms especially during COVID-19 pandemic. However, the existing body of knowledge has not sufficiently dealt with it. To explore the student's intention to use the real-time online learning, Theory of Planned…

This study examined community college students' mathematics and academic self-efficacy in synchronous live online and asynchronous traditional online learning environments. Additionally, students' self-efficacy as it related to students' feelings of choice and preference regarding course modality was examined. This study took place during the…

ChatGPT and AI programs are creating a stir on college campuses nationwide. Concerns about cheating are strong and many instructors are adopting new teaching strategies to dissuade students from using the technology in assignments. In the present study, undergraduate students in an introductory epidemiology course were assigned to use ChatGPT to…

Clinical education rotations typically involve an initial training phase followed by supervised clinical practice. However, little research has explored the separate contributions of each component to the development of student confidence and treatment fidelity. The dual purpose of this study was to compare the impact of clinical training format…

Seeing that an overwhelming number of the students enrolled in the courses she offered did not attend the synchronous online lessons, the researcher felt the need for carrying out this qualitative case study to investigate the reasons behind it from the perspective of not only the non-attending but also attending students. Two qualitative surveys…

The rotational synchronous teaching (RST) model has attracted attention as it can increase the teaching presence and connected classroom climate in multiple synchronous classroom learning environments. This paper presents an investigation of the effects of the relationships between college students' perception of teaching presence, connected…

Students' perceptions towards synchronous and asynchronous online delivery modes of three engineering courses, in a large UK university is conceptualised, inspired by the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework. Using a qualitative methodology, 76 written student narratives were analysed. An overwhelming focus on the elements that helped them…
