Anatomists are well placed to tackle the transition from face-to-face to blended learning approaches as a result of the rapidly forced changes brought about by COVID-19. The subject is extremely visual and has, therefore, previously been a target for the development of technology-enhanced learning initiatives over the last ten years. Today's…

What happens when campus units come together to create both a shared physical space and a shared mission space? This case study highlights a unique cross-campus partnership between the UCLA Science Libraries and two academic support programs to create a STEM Collaborative Learning Center. This space serves to help decrease achievement gaps in STEM…

This case study will describe the labor and collaborative efforts, to-date, of an embedded librarian to pilot an OER textbook creation and/or adoption program in her liaison area--a school of education serving approximately 850 graduate and 150 undergraduates at a private Catholic university on the West Coast of the U.S.A. This case study will…

A design study was conducted to test a machine learning (ML)-enabled automated feedback system developed to support students' revision of scientific arguments using data from published sources and simulations. This paper focuses on three simulation-based scientific argumentation tasks called Trap, Aquifer, and Supply. These tasks were part of an…

The Open Distance Learning (ODL) commenced in Nigeria in the year 2003 by the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and many universities in the country have also adopted it. The study focused purposely on four ODL centers in Kwara state. Five research questions and three research hypotheses were formulated. The student samples were selected…

This study aimed to examine the measurement invariance of the mathematical affective characteristics model obtained from TIMSS 2015 4th grade Turkey administration according to home resources. For this purpose, firstly, the factor structure of the mathematical affective characteristics questionnaire was examined by explanatory factor analysis and…

Purpose: With the purpose of promoting cross-field dialogue, this paper aims to review workplace learning (WPL) and human resource (HR) literature. The authors endeavour a conceptual examination and discussion of the bridges that link both research fields in relation to learning, in an effort to establish an integrated understanding of learning in…

Institutional repositories have become widely used technologies to curate research data, scholarly publications, organizational records, and cultural heritage materials, but they need an engagement framework for institutional support, sustainability, and assessment. The institutional repository engagement framework becomes a link between an…

This article explores some of the links that can be made to the science curriculum through learning outdoors with bushcraft and Forest School activities. It focuses particularly on students who are otherwise disengaged with learning, or who have relatively complex needs that mean they find traditional education more challenging.

Background: Supported Employment has been advocated for by successive governments and policymakers alike as the "best" approach to employment inclusion for people with an intellectual disability who are in receipt of social care. Yet only 5.2% of this demographic are in any form of work and these numbers have been persistently stagnant…

Background: The educational resources that parents provide at home are crucial to their children's development. In this study, we focused on home reading environment, a key contributor to success rates regarding the mastery of reading skills. We aimed to investigate students' home reading environments and examine its effect on the reading…

Teachers in K-12 settings increasingly demand instructional materials beyond textbooks to follow the upward momentum of personalized instruction. Especially during the outbreak of COVID-19, K-12 teachers are forced to quickly adapt to online teaching and thus have more difficulties of delivering personalized instruction in a relatively…

This article analyzes a survey delivered in 2019 to 259 experts in engineering education that asked them to forecast information and communication technologies, which were most likely to impact the practice of engineering education based on the expert's discipline (electrical, electronics, mechanical, telecommunications engineering, computer…

This study draws from the SHRM and TCEL literature to apply an HR systems typology to categorize school districts based on their personnel policies. The researchers descriptively examine whether types of HR systems are related to district demographics and outcomes. Sources for analysis included a comprehensive review of sample district's websites,…

Social media (SM) has gained a huge acceptance from all and sundry. A huge potential exists for academic researchers in the use of SM for intellectual exercise. Informal learning (IL) has redefined the entire learning process, creating a new dawn from the formal learning rigid structures. However, there is lack of research on why some researchers…
