This predictive-causal study determined the factors affecting students' Behavioral Intention (BI) and Actual Use (AU) of Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) and Zoom for both synchronous and asynchronous classes in a private higher education institution in the Philippines adopting Technology Acceptance Mode (TAM). After surveying 496 students,…

This study investigates the effectiveness of video-based learning compared to traditional text-based methods in distance education for software courses. The research was based on two samples of students (n[subscript 1] = 32, n[subscript 2] = 30) enrolled in the "Fundamentals of PSPP" distance course at the N.B. School of Design and…

Communication skills are one of the abilities required for 21st-century learning. Students must consider communication skills in learning because they can guide students in conveying ideas effectively and interacting and collaborating with others. This study aimed to investigate the online reading-concept mapping-reciprocal teaching (REMAP-RT)…

This research investigates a design and development approach to improving science teachers' access to effective professional development (PD) in a fully online, asynchronous environment. Working with a small number of teachers, this study explores how a design combining social capital mechanisms with essential teacher learning and PD…

In order to ensure the effects of early intensive behavioral interventions for children with autism, performance feedback is often used to improve procedural integrity. However, in areas where access to professionals is limited, onsite feedback may not be feasible. Researchers suggest that providing remote feedback may improve procedural…

Responding to the need for learning to remain engaging and productive while classrooms have moved online, a qualitative study was conducted to gain greater insight into the use of asynchronous online discussions as a replacement for their in-class counterpart. Specifically, the researchers aimed to gauge student responses to their use of the…

Developing a sense of community (SoC) in college is vital due to its positive impacts on learning and student success. In this study, the researchers examine students' perceptions of SoC in synchronous and asynchronous online courses, with specific interest in the experiences of regional campus students who are often considered to be…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the teaching of programming for undergraduate mathematicians was moved online. This was delivered asynchronously, with students working through notes and exercises and asking for help from staff via online messages as needed. Staff delivery time was redirected from content delivery into a formal system of formative…

This paper, as part of a European Commission-funded project entitled REBEL (Repurposing Education through Blended Learning), deconstructs school communities understanding of the challenges and opportunities for blended learning in the school sector in Ireland with perceptions shaped by experiences of enforced school closures during the pandemic.…

Throughout the development of online courses within higher education, subject matter expert (SME) faculty often rely on an instructional designer's (IDs) expertise and leadership to produce high-quality learning experiences for their students. Although IDs guide the creation of online courses and programs, instructional design is a profession that…

This study investigated the effect of the online, flipped classroom model on learners' self-directed learning using the descriptive correlation design. A total of 181 students from three public universities that applied the online flipped classroom approach participated in the study. The finds reveal that students did very well in their…
