Though online peer assessment is recognized as a critical factor in enhancing learning performance, pedagogical strategies and analysis of students' peer assessment at the group level, rather than the individual level, are underexplored. Online group assessment (OGA) focuses on assessing peer-group work in an online environment. A total of 64…

Instructional design (ID) is a common term in educational scholarship and practice. Yet, there appears to be a gap between theory and practice which potentially stems from a lack of collaboration between researchers, educators, employers, and (prospective) instructional designers (IDers). Consequently, despite extensive literature, numerous…

Background: Computational thinking (CT) refers to the ability to represent problems, design solutions and migrate solutions computationally. While previous studies have shown that self-explanation can enhance students' learning, few empirical studies have examined the effects of using different self-explanation prompts to cultivate students' CT…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to teachers. Teachers need a creative way to continue the engaged teaching process under the constraints of physical separation, emotional anxiety, and insecurity. Technology teachers who develop students' technology literacy or skills should be aware of the importance of integrating…

Citizen science has the potential to promote an understanding of science and to represent science in school authentically. Still, its implementation into formal education encounters tensions between scientific and educational goals. Factors for success and hindrances of the implementation of citizen science projects in the classroom can be…

With the rapid evolution of online learning, driven by technological advancements and the global transition to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for effective instructional design models has become increasingly critical. This study conducted a systematic mapping analysis of instructional design models tailored for online…

Background/purpose: Differentiated teaching materials are a source of quality and meaningful learning for students because they are prepared based on students' needs. Materials/methods: This research includes development research using the ADDIE model which aims to describe the profile of digital-based differentiated teaching materials (Barista)…

The value introduced by informed teaching practices on Design for Social Inclusion is becoming widely accepted by many Design programmes worldwide, though students frequently struggle to propose novel concepts and design ideas from which to develop inclusive solutions. Both teachers and students often employ stereotyped concepts that ultimately…

Doctoral supervision is complex and takes place against a background of contextual, political, economic, and cultural affordances/constraints; with multiple purposes; and in a global higher education system. The result can be significant tensions for supervisors and, often, poor student satisfaction and progression. Globally, systematic…

The purpose of this study was to examine college and university leaders' background in, perceptions of, and experiences with the administration of high-quality online programs and design of online courses. The population of this study included academic leaders at higher education institutions within the state of Texas from 2- and 4-year…

Introduction: While prior research has delved into the emotional aspects of instructional design, it has not extensively examined whether integrating affective features specifically relevant to the theme of the learning materials is essential for enhancing learning effectiveness compared to incorporating general affective features. This study aims…

This study aims to determine the e-learning readiness of Turkish family physicians and to obtain the views of program instructors to design the e-learning system. An online questionnaire was applied, and 1172 family physicians answered, and a semi-structured interview was done with the program educators. Infrastructure and equipment readiness was…

As higher education institutions increasingly expand their online course offerings, the role of instructional designers in enhancing instructional quality and effectiveness becomes critical. This study surveyed practicing instructional designers to explore the specific tasks they perform performed in higher education and identifies factors that…

The autoethnographic study investigates the transformative impact of generative AI on educational research, instructional design, and teaching practices over a 5-month period (May-October 2024). By integrating AI tools into every phase of the research process, the study examines AI's role as both a research partner and a subject of inquiry. Field…

Quality Matters (QM) is an international benchmark for quality assurance in online learning. However, few studies to date have analyzed the impact of instructional designer-supported QM professional development using a validated framework of student success. This study examined the impact of QM training and guided support on course quality and…
