The purpose of this mixed-methods simple explanatory sequential research design study was to examine and explore the relationship between semester-length and online student success at a community college in southeast Texas. Five research questions were addressed. The first two quantitative questions asked (1) how does semester-length relate to…

Network meta-analysis has evolved into a core method for evidence synthesis in health care. In network meta-analysis, 3 or more treatments for a given medical condition are compared, based on a number of clinical studies, usually randomized controlled trials. Often, many different endpoints are investigated, related to different aspects of the…

Virtual images are often introduced through a "geometric" perspective, with little conceptual or qualitative illustrations, hindering a deeper understanding of this physical concept. In this paper, we present two rather simple observations that force a critical reflection on the optical nature of a virtual image. This approach is…

There are images in the history of education that can be considered iconic, images that are, as Georges Didi-Huberman says, "full of future". In this article, I want to consider two children's films from the 1930s, "Emil und die Detektive" (Gerhard Lamprecht, Germany, 1931) and "Zéro de conduite" (Jean Vigo, France,…

Designers give themselves something to "react to" and they make it "rich." During design, what they react to can take many forms: a homepage wireframe, an Excel spreadsheet, building drawings, and a Tweet prototype. Using a phenomenological research design using an interactive methodology and multiple data collection methods,…

Throughout the 56-year history of "Studies in Art Education", scholars have repeatedly articulated concern that research within the field is disconnected. Most recently this problem has been categorized as scholarly oblivion. Through the lens of network theory and data visualization techniques, the present research clarifies structural…

Cities worldwide are facing challenges from rapid urbanization and climate change, making them susceptible to increased likelihood of flooding, due to rising sea levels and extreme weather. To mitigate the risk and minimize the impacts of natural and human-made disruptions caused by climate change, smart cities are improving their energy…

While authors like Mayer (2009) suggest that designers should avoid using visuals for the purpose of attracting learners' interests, some scholars suggest that visuals could influence learners' emotions. In this study the author investigated whether the perception of the visual appeal of instructional handouts affects learners' self-reported…

For the past eight years, the ACS Examinations Institute has been developing Anchoring Concepts Content Maps for the different subdisciplines taught throughout the undergraduate curriculum. The structure of the map consists of two top levels that are shared throughout the entire curriculum and two subdiscipline specific levels that contain…

The use of electronic slide presentations (ESP), usually through PowerPoint or Prezi software, has become widespread in higher education and is part of the expectations and perceptions of both teachers and students of how a successful and quality class should be. Is this dissemination of ESP use justified by the pedagogical quality fostered in…

The purpose of the study is to reveal the self-evaluations of the prospective teachers on two-and three-dimensional visual teaching materials they have designed in the field of the pedagogical formation education. A qualitative research method was used in the study. The study group was chosen from the prospective teachers who were enrolled in the…

Finding intersections, unions, and complements of sets is an essential issue in elementary mathematics. It builds the foundation for set theory, probability, logic, and other topics. It is commonly recognized that drawing a Venn diagram, which was first introduced by the British philosopher and mathematician John Venn in 1881, is a classic and…

The analysis of a historical mathematical textbook constitutes a particular challenge when the original had been composed before the invention of the printing press and an even greater one when the very original might even not have been fixed as a manuscript. The analysis of such cases affords a focus on the relation between orality and written…

This article proposes a heuristic that teachers and students can use together to create a vocabulary for discussing the aesthetic aspects of color and typography in document design work. By using this framework, teachers and students can generate a collection of shared "visual topoi" or commonplaces for describing the aesthetic value of…

The purpose of this study is to examine three-dimensional human modeling software suitable for use in the field of sport sciences. Three-dimensional modeling takes place by transferring virtual objects to objects in our real or imaginary world. Virtual objects, which are transferred to virtual environments by a designer or a design team using…
