Technology development is shifting teaching modality and online education has become a normal teaching mode. This shift informed teachers of changes in instructional planning. To help teachers better understand planning for online instruction, this study investigates Mid-Atlantic State Virtual Program K-12 teachers' online instructional planning…

Virtual reality (VR) as an emerging technology has extreme potential to revolutionize online higher education for adult students through immersive and engaging learning experiences. Lower cost and advancing research in VR technology and immersive simulation software offers unique opportunities for adult students to engage in a virtual learning…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of online learning in a rural school district post-COVID-19. The study investigated students', parents', and teachers' experiences to gain insights into online learning as pandemic-related restrictions eased. Students' work-related attitudes and academic progress were also examined to…

This study reports qualitative findings related to elementary preservice teachers' perceptions and use of a six-phased planning approach, titled Planning for Elementary Digitally-Supported Disciplinary Literacy, to integrate digitally supported disciplinary literacy into lesson planning. Preservice teachers in this study were seeking PK-6…

This study observes two groups of high school students who were given different physics learning interventions. The first group (N = 35) learning physics with e-scaffolding in modelling instructions (LPE-MI),while the second group (N = 35) learning physics with modelling instructions (LPMI). This study investigates the influence of e-scaffolding…

Institutions are aggressively recruiting adult learners and developing adult degree completion programs. This is a hyper-competitive market. Many institutions lack experience working with this population. This paper outlines proven strength-based enrollment management strategies to instill confidence and provide student support for adult learners.…
