Students now have readily available and powerful tools to access, manipulate, combine, and visualize data. Acquiring data and visual literacy requires more than knowledge of how to use these tools. Students need to engage with assignments that challenge them to make relatively complex visualizations, interpret them, and explain why these…

Biomimicry has been proposed as an important tool to reach key skills for the new century. It has taken its place as an essential resource for critical and creative thinking in design disciplines. However, as emphasized in many studies, bio-informed research requires interdisciplinary collaboration and systematic knowledge transfer. This article…

Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Degrees (EMJMD) offer a unique opportunity to jointly design and deliver an integrated curriculum of excellence in an international context.

Determining student motivation within the context of Learning Analytics is fundamental for academic students to realize their educational goals. We aim to perceive the student's motivation state at a high level of abstraction and act accordingly to deal with motivation issues. We investigate how Model-Driven Engineering paradigms capture the…

Many higher education institutions have responded to the significant shortage of professionals with strong analytical expertise by offering graduate programs in business analytics and data science.

The focus of this teaching note is on the use of graphic novels in social work classrooms. The article first discusses the unique learning needs of today's digital native learners. It then provides justification for why these books are effective in reaching students who are well versed in image data because of heavy reliance on and use of the…

In this study, individual serial concept mapping was employed as a learning approach to demonstrate learner development over time. Participants (n = 22) individually completed serial concept maps consisting of five iterations. A highly structured peer feedback process was employed to support interaction within learners' zone of proximal…

This article describes a simple two-player game which illustrates basic concepts of brinkmanship, to include calculations of probability and expected outcomes, and risk-taking profiles. The game befits a single 50-minute class period with introduction, gameplay, and discussion. The game can supplement the study of conflict from classic Cold War…

In 2020-21, there are 559 HSIs located in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. For the first time in 20 years, the number of HSIs has decreased from 569 in 2019-20 to 559 in 2020-21. This decrease is due, in part, to enrollment declines, institutional closings, and consolidation during the pandemic. While the number of HSIs has…

This research focused on the "communication and systematic barriers Deaf and Hard of Hearing graduate students face in higher education." The research explored the experiences, roadblocks, and inequities the DHH students face daily in academia. This study utilized narrative inquiry and qualitative approaches to better capture the human…

Academic competence and experiential learning were the focus of this investigation. The research addressed the gap in the literature through a non-experimental quantitative correlational analysis of the constructs. This study answered two key research questions and one sub-research question: to what extent is there a relationship between academic…
