Early engagement research focused on the traditional face-to-face classroom experience but has expanded over the past decade to encompass blended e-learning systems (BELS), which include asynchronous and synchronous online courses. However, limited research is available regarding student engagement in HyFlex, a BELS environment where students…

The purpose of this study was to identify the components of effective blended learning (BL) that administrators and teachers in a K-12 setting perceived as having the most significant impact on student achievement. The Commonwealth of Learning's (2018) Blended Course Learnability Evaluation Checklist was used as a framework to create an online…

The Ministry of Education Research Center for Online Education conducted a national survey of university administrators of learning and teaching. The survey results showed that: (a) the universities in eastern China had developed and introduced more massive open online courses (MOOCs) than those in the central and western regions; (b) of the…

Learning computer science (CS) is increasingly becoming a necessary component of K-12 education, but in most cases, teachers do not have either the essential knowledge to teach or a curriculum to follow. In this article, we analyze the outcomes from a yearlong, blended professional development (PD) program to teach teachers game design and coding…

Institutions are increasingly supplementing their traditional class formats with hybrid approaches that mix in-person, remote synchronous, and remote asynchronous delivery methods. Even when the student population expects and appreciates more flexibility in scheduling, students still struggle with technology-enhanced instruction when course design…

The rise of the student as prosumer (producer-consumer) of educational content is a novel development that has hitherto been the subject of very little research, especially in relation to the generation of digital contents and materials for online and hybrid education in particular. This article analyses whether there are patterns of behaviour and…

HyFlex learning environments have been meeting the unique needs of students and institutions for nearly 20 years. However, it was the pandemic that gave HyFlex its widespread acceptance and application. Literature suggests that HyFlex may now be considered part of the new norm in education and therefore, further study is needed on how it affects…

Background: SPEAK OUT! has been shown to enhance various aspects of voice such as intensity, prosody, voice quality and perception of voice. However, their impacts on expiration and communication effectiveness have not yet been evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Hybrid SPEAK OUT! method on aerodynamic measurements and…

The pandemic has globally changed the landscape of the educational system in most countries of the world, including Ukraine. Their educational systems have faced massive challenges in distance learning implementation. However, in addition to the destructive impact of the pandemic, Ukraine has a more serious problem in the form of a full-scale…

The formulation of a sense of community (SOC) among students has received significant attention in the literature in recent years. However, digitally enhanced learning and COVID-19 have amplified the challenges vis-à-vis connecting students and making them feel involved and recognized in virtual learning ecologies for higher educational…

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, many applications have emerged, sparking heated discussions across various social sectors, particularly in education. This study aims to delve into the impact of pedagogical agents on learning through a combined use of VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer. Specifically, VOSviewer will facilitate a…

Institutions of higher education are implementing Blended Learning (BL) approaches to supplement traditional courses in enhancing students' learning experiences. However, only fewer studies have examined BL acceptance based on the determinants that influence students' perception towards BL integration in improving learning performance.…

Children are socialized into society through education, which imparts cultural values and customs and provides them with the tools necessary to contribute positively to society. In this way, education promotes economic expansion and increases public awareness of regional and global issues. To meet the requirements and expectations of…

This study explored students' perceptions of the implementation of synchronous and asynchronous blended learning. The current case study investigated 78 undergraduates who enrolled in a course while involved in an experiential learning program called "Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka" (MBKM) or independent learning on an independent…

Literature suggests post-secondary students feel disengaged and socially isolated while learning virtually, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we explored whether a sense of belonging is differentially achieved in an inquiry-based course between two different delivery formats: virtual and blended (combination of virtual and in-person).…
