Blended synchronous learning provides students flexible attendance options for class sessions. This study explored the experiences and interactions of remote and on-campus students in the blended synchronous classroom using a protocol pedagogy framework and a 360-degree camera. This multimethod study included observations and video recordings of…

The rapid digital transformation and the widespread influence of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted higher education in Vietnam. This social setting fosters online teaching and lecturers' online teaching competencies. The aim of this study is to investigate online teaching competence at two universities of technology and education in Vietnam…

Educators' perceptions of their teaching competence contribute to feelings of wellbeing and teaching effectiveness, which in turn impacts the quality of student learning. In the context of emergency remote online teaching brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, introductory workshops on educating using Zoom videoconferencing software were…

Technology has become a fundamental aspect of learning, yet many course instructors are hesitant to incorporate various forms of technology into their instructional design. This study sought to determine how course instructors can be assisted and supported to incorporate various asynchronous and synchronous technologies and strategies to course…

Researchers correlate a teacher's skills with teaching longevity, teacher stress, and student outcomes. Most preservice teachers lack the fundamental teaching skills necessary to succeed within a classroom of students. Educators attempt to solve this teaching skill deficiency by implementing practice-based teacher education. Educators have used…

Despite increased interest in synchronous remote K-12 education, there is limited research on how students perceive such education. This article explores student perceptions of remote education, tutor support, social presence, learning and satisfaction. We developed a survey, and after distributing it and analyzing the results, the survey was…

Textual and visual app-based communication is standard everyday interaction. I argue that, as researchers, we have to be better equipped to include various ways of interacting digitally with participants in qualitative research interviews. In this paper, I do a methodological focused analysis of app-based textual interviews (n = 98) with young…

The year 2020 will be remembered as the year of COVID-19 and its subsequent lockdowns. The time to return to face-to-face teaching has arrived, but the shadow of the disease still hangs over teachers, students, and society. Disruption in teaching can still occur for students, or even teachers, if they are either diagnosed as COVID-19 positive or…

Second language (L2) research suggests that synchronous written corrective feedback (SWCF) in online collaborative writing tasks can help improve L2 linguistic knowledge and writing skills. Following the rise of online collaborative writing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this exploratory study examines L2 learners' perceptions of receiving…

The global prevalence of autism has increased markedly in recent years, resulting in a surge in demand for services. Telehealth interventions offer an alternative to traditional service delivery, however, research is needed to examine the effectiveness of telehealth-delivered interventions for daily living skills (DLS; e.g., sleeping, eating,…

The study investigated the roles of advanced digital tools in enhancing engagement with physical education among undergraduates. The focus was on the effects of digital monitoring and real-time feedback technologies on increasing physical activity participation and improving physical fitness levels of undergraduates. Throughout a semester, the…

Purpose: This study developed an online lesson study, investigated teacher professionalism after following an online lesson study and examined students' environmental literacy. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a mixed-method research design. The qualitative approach entailed observing science learning focussing on environmental issues…

While the benefits of active learning to student experiences are well documented, less is known about active learning in online education, especially regarding the development of 21st century skills (e.g., communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity). Specifically, open questions remain concerning the contribution of different…

This study examines the types of oral comments from a reviewer's as well as an author's perspective offered within an online writing group (OWG) that met during the confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose was to zoom in on the members' interactions to have a broader perspective of how these exchanges could provide support through…

Recently, audio-visual feedback produced through screencast technology has received increasing attention. Yet, as opposed to synchronous (immediate) and bi-directional (a two-way process) audio-visual feedback, most recent research has focused on asynchronous (delayed) and unidirectional (a one-way process) audio-visual feedback. Therefore, this…
