Higher education (HE) institutions continuously evolve to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff to grow as global citizens. The recent pandemic put academic and research programs in stress. International partnerships and collaborations had to adapt to allow existing efforts to continue with many functions shifting to online. However,…

This essay provides a research brief on current studies related to utilizing a flipped learning model. The flipped model entails students engaging with a recorded lecture prior to live class time, allowing for more student engagement with content, classmates, and the instructor during synchronous class time. A flipped model empowers students with…

Music educators regularly provide students with real-time formative feedback in the classroom, but there are frequent opportunities to improve its utility and effectiveness. This article presents a model for examining synchronous formative feedback (SFF), offering music teachers tools to explore and enhance the feedback they share with students.…

Quality feedback is crucial to learning; the growth of online delivery has altered how it is obtained and shared. Educators interested in improving online learning can benefit from understanding formal and informal feedback flows existing in face-to-face environments and how these transfer online. This article examines the nuance of informal…

Technology-based assessments that involve collaboration among students offer many sources of process data, although it remains unclear which aspects of these data are most meaningful for making inferences about students' collaborative skills. Recent research has focused mainly on theory-based rubrics for qualitative coding of process data (e.g.,…

Few studies have compared the nature of negotiation of meaning across face-to-face (FTF) and synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) modes with mixed-proficiency dyads. Such comparisons can help identify important strengths and weaknesses of each mode. Therefore, this study explored whether FTF and SCMC modes differ in terms of…

The use of online, distance, and remote teaching is a growing phenomenon in the K-12 context. The aim of this pilot study was to explore K-12 students' experiences of the synchronous (real-time) remote teaching and learning environment. The following research questions were posed: (1) What possibilities and challenges can be identified from the…

Graduate Schools provide formal education. Their functions for providing students with scientific research methods, technics and procedures are of great importance for the scientific developments and discoveries globally. However, because of the COVID-19 virus emerged from the Republic of China in 2019, schools and universities across the world…

Amid the recent overwhelming demand for online education as emergency remote teaching, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of online teaching and learning experiences. Through a self-study of online teaching, it explores a teacher educator's emotional experiences and struggles during online teaching concerning teacher identity,…

The need to quickly transition from face-to-face teaching using engaging, content-based activities to a new, online platform in just two weeks during the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID19) pandemic, made it necessary to try to migrate familiar activities that the students enjoyed into a virtual classroom. The activity that proved to be the most…

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is tragic, yet we can still learn a great deal about the virus and its effects. The biochemistry of the virus is rather interesting despite its ill effects, and it is important to know how it works to understand how to defeat…

Teacher-provided opportunities to respond are a powerful strategy for improving behavior and academic outcomes of students with disabilities. However, online instruction makes opportunities to respond more challenging to implement. For the purposes of this article, online teaching refers to synchronous instruction taking place via video…

The relationship between handwriting and instant message (IM) frequency has not been studied in English and the reason may be related to the similar cognitive process of typing IM and handwriting words. The mental processes of producing both handwriting and typing English words are from semantics to phonology and orthography. However, the…

Effective use of learning analytics systems has been purported to confer various benefits to learners in terms of both attainment and retention. There is, however, little agreement on which data are meaningful or useful. Whilst measures of engagement might correlate with outcomes, thereby retrospectively 'predicting' them, there are fewer studies…

With the development of the technological equipments, distance education technologies are developing rapidly. This development has made distance education a powerful alternative to the traditional education. While Asynchronous Model provides students with complete freedom of time and place, Synchronous Model is offering online learning platform…
