An interactive multimedia-based e-module is an enhanced version of conventional modules incorporating information technology. It integrates navigation buttons and user instructions, enabling independent use by those at any location and time. This phenomenon facilitates the optimal implementation of learning in the digital literacy era. This study…

This study examines the effects of synchronous and non-synchronous online engagement on the academic performance of accounting students at a New Zealand university based on their choice of course delivery format -- either distance learning or face-to-face learning with online components (F2F+). We track accounting students as they complete three…

E-learning can be particularly challenging for emergent bilingual students or English learners (ELs). Emergent bilingual students rely on readily accessible supports in the classroom such as body language, word walls, gestures, and collaborative work with a partner or group (August et al., 2014). Face-to-face exchanges are critical for these…

To create a more collaborative and communicative learning environment, digital tools are often looked to as possible solutions. Miro, an online whiteboard, is one such tool that allows students to easily share ideas and exchange information using a range of different media. Its strengths are its ability to allow real-time sharing and creation of…
