Motivated by the benefits of repeated deliberate practice, we created an interactive exercise system for use in an undergraduate engineering mechanics class that focuses on practicing learned fundamental concepts. These exercises take the form of traditional word problems commonly found in mechanics courses, involving things like selecting and…

In online distance learning, the lack of interaction between teacher and student can raise a significant drawback that hinders social connection and belonging. Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of humanized online teaching in enhancing social presence and teacher-student relationships. In this regard, this study used a narrative…

This study aims to explore factors predicting the use of e-learning as a sustainable solution in Indian higher education institutions by employing a modified version of the technology acceptance model (TAM). An online questionnaire (n = 200), capturing post-graduate management students from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, was analysed using…

The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions or permanent closures of postsecondary institutions around the world, with adverse consequences on equitable education outcomes due to preexisting gender and digital inequalities. Due to the unprecedented global emergency, higher education students were forced to return home and conduct classes remotely or…

In this design case, I discuss the design and development of an open educational resource textbook on teaching methods of early literacy, primarily geared toward preservice teachers in Iowa. This design case intends to provide an interdisciplinary example of an accessible, multimodal, interactive, contextually relevant, and culturally inclusive…

This study proposes a knowledge graph-based big data analysis model for course quality evaluation, aiming to address issues in online education course evaluations such as semantic bias, grammatical deficiencies, vocabulary limitations, false evaluations, information distortion, and imbalanced evaluation categories. The model incorporates three…

Hands-on activities promote interest in engineering, but their use in primary education is under pressure due to doubts about their effect on learning. Based on the Challenge Point Framework, we hypothesized that an adaptive approach in which a pupil starts with tasks at its level of prior knowledge would raise the learning results of hands-on…

Background: Previous studies have indicated that encouraging learners to teach to their peers has been proven effective in second language learning. However, to date, no research has focused on how learners teaching to peers of varying proficiency levels impacts video learning performance and the cognitive neuroscience mechanisms of learners.…

Background: Learner-generated digital media has gained significant attention as a supplementary learning tool. However, a need exists for empirical research to discern among various learner-generated digital media formats. One potential area of divergence lies in the arousal levels evoked during media creation due to varying emphasis on the…

This poetic inquiry integrated a Black Educational Studies perspective on the relationship between digital community platform design conditions and forms of collegiality, mutuality, and solidarity that advance a humanizing praxis for educators. The authors contextualized this pursuit in the urgency of the current moment when coordinated fascist…

Prior work has developed a range of automated measures ("detectors") of student self-regulation and engagement from student log data. These measures have been successfully used to make discoveries about student learning. Here, we extend this line of research to an underexplored aspect of self-regulation: students' decisions about when to…

This study examined the effectiveness of online English learning among college students by integrating data from multiple learning behavior sources. The research revealed a bidirectional regulatory relationship between device environment and cognitive strategies, clarified the critical threshold for the regulation of metacognitive strategies, and…

The shift to hybrid learning during the COVID-19 pandemic emphasised the need for independent learning and effective digital resource management (RMS). This study, grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, examines how RMS supports students in managing digital distractions and optimising learning outcomes. Data from 275 randomly selected education…

This study investigated factors that constituted the digital and online learning environment at the University of Namibia during the COVID-19 pandemic; how these factors constrained or enabled the scaffolding of epistemological access and university students' success; and their implications for digital and online learning. A mixed research…

This study aimed to evaluate Promoting Reciprocal Relationships with Flexibility, Coaching, and Teaching (PRRFCT Match), a parent-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention package. An expansion from an earlier pilot study (see Kunze et al., 2021), PRRFCT Match incorporates virtual coaching between a novice coach and parent to…
