The COVID-19 pandemic brought online learning to the forefront with the need to define online learning with best practices. Clemson University Extension conducted a retrospective observational study compiling survey data from virtual extension agents and supervisor's conducting online programs. A literature review analyzed terminology for online…

This phenomenological study of how virtual learning can transform the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in the state of Pennsylvania allowed the researcher to explore the impact of virtual learning after the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March 2020. The researcher created questions and interviewed twenty-three participants from the…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education institutions worldwide to rapidly transition to online learning, exposing vulnerabilities and highlighting the critical need for robust ICT infrastructure. This study investigates the readiness of network universities in upper northeastern Thailand to provide education using ICT during the COVID-19…

E-Learning has been massively used in higher education, one of which is in Universitas Indonesia. The e-learning system in Universitas Indonesia is called Student Centered E-Learning Environment Universitas Indonesia (SCELE UI). This research determines the effect of usability on the intention to use SCELE UI in a sustainable way. The Expectation…

Electricity has shaped modern civilization in a way few other discoveries have. Nonetheless, few students successfully develop a basic understanding of voltage, current, and resistance or their mutual relationship in simple DC circuits. Despite teachers' best efforts in the classroom, so-called "alternative conceptions" often prevail…

Mobile devices have become increasingly ubiquitous in the contemporary communication landscape. Riding this trend, educational apps have proliferated the market, with many which claim to support and improve children's learning and literacy development. Caregivers are often faced with the challenge of discerning the value of these educational apps…

While traditional civic education in the United States is inextricably linked to notions of a public sphere, this paper argues that the digital era requires a reimagining of this premise. The opaque nature of digital spaces makes it difficult for young people to understand how large of an audience they are interacting with and to what extent a…

In this study, we propose a novel and direct method of determining the focal length of a converging or diverging lens using a smartphone. The standard optical sensor used in modern smartphone cameras is an active-pixel sensor called the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). The CMOS is covered by an assembly of five to seven camera…

Though the number of instructional design models has increased, the usefulness of an instructional design process (linear or iterative) when making design decisions for e-learning solutions remains uncertain. This basic qualitative study was used to explore the perspectives of corporate instructional designers who were mandated to move from a…

Transistors are semiconductor devices that form the basis of today's electronic technology. Following the first step of developing a point-contact transistor developed by Walter Brattain and John Bardeen in 1947, the development of the junction transistor by William Shockley in early 1948 opened the way for rapid progress in electronic technology.…

A new device for teaching the physics of sound, specifically demonstrating the wavelengths of standing sound waves, is here described. I define a "Lincoln's Tube" as any hollow tube that uses lights (LEDs typically) to demonstrate the presence of sound standing waves. The name is chosen intentionally to recall a Ruben's Tube or a Kundt's…

In recent years, the opportunities for academic libraries to engage as a partner in digital initiatives in academia have expanded significantly. The traditional focus on digitization, preservation, and dissemination of collections has developed and shifted considerably, bringing new strategies for adequately serving the changed academic needs, as…

Using data from seven R1 and R2 universities in Ohio, this study seeks to determine the extent of usage of full-text e-journal articles stored across multiple platforms. Specifically, COUNTER 5 data is presented from five major academic journal publishers (Taylor & Francis, SAGE, Oxford, Wiley, and Springer), looking at usage within each of…

This article traces the history of college writing and suggests a different way ahead. To show why we need this approach, the article historicizes the start of postsecondary English as a paradoxical one, committed to egalitarian ideals while privileging narrow and exclusive English usage. To offer an alternative approach, the article synthesizes…

The merdeka curriculum is a curriculum whose learning structure is divided into two main activities, namely learning that refers to student learning outcomes in each subject and projects to strengthen the Pancasila student profile. A digital pocketbook is an electronic book that contains information in the form of text or images that can be…
