To address the problem of poor efficacy in hybrid learning in higher education, this study conducted a mix-method explanatory case study with structural equation modelling to examine a new construct, "perceived pedagogical value" (PPV), and its relationship with the core constructs of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of…

The rising demand for high-quality, timely content for online and blended learning environments presents significant challenges for instructional designers, particularly in managing resource-intensive tasks such as video production and image sourcing. This study investigates the impact of using artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large…

Drawing on the scholarship of writing and learning, this article motivates the use of writing assignments in analytics courses and develops a framework for instructional design that advances both writing skills and discipline-specific learning. We translate a best practices set of foundational writing concepts into a matrix of design levers for…

One way to emphasize students' strengths when reasoning verbally is through number talks. During a number talk, a teacher facilitates a 5- to 15-minute conversation during which students have the opportunity to engage in mental mathematics and verbally explain and justify their reasoning regarding how they make sense of numerical computations.…

Self-regulated learning can be conceptualized as the pursuit of learning goals by means of self-initiated control processes. Models of self-regulated learning postulate that goal-directed processes unfold within individuals from motivational states through volitional-control processes to goal achievement. Thus far, this hypothesis has mostly been…

The Wiggers diagram showing simultaneous events of the cardiac cycle in composite graphs is one of the most intimidating figures students encounter in their study of physiology.
