Competency-based institutions eager to improve student outcomes would be wise to consider research-based measures, such as a course planning and learning tool (CPLT), as one step in the student life cycle. Recent research has indicated which assessment practices tend to be most successful in an online competency-based environment while hinting at…

The demand for Education 4.0 is believed as response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Founded on this concept, learners are expected to be digitally literate since Education 4.0 promotes novel ways of learning that focuses on collaboration of men and machines. For this reason, this quantitative-correlational study aimed to analyze the…

Laboratory classes are a cornerstone of physiology education, enabling students to develop essential knowledge and skills. Recent moves toward utilizing blended options to support face-to-face classes with online materials are beneficial, but using solely online classes may not produce similar learning gains. During 2020, the global pandemic meant…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) created unparalleled challenges to anatomy education. Gross anatomy education has been particularly impacted given the traditional in-person format of didactic instruction and/or laboratory component(s). To assess the changes in gross anatomy lecture and laboratory instruction, assessment, and teaching resources…

The rapid surge of digitalization in the education sector has redefined the dynamics of the modern classroom. In a world that embraces convenience, online learning has established its own relevance and has been a subject of considerable interest to researchers worldwide.

The abrupt pivot to online teaching and learning during the Spring semester of 2020 because of worldwide stay-at-home directives left educators and their stakeholders with few guidelines to enact teaching and learning in online platforms. Network etiquette, coined as netiquette in 1995 by Intel (Hambridge, 1995), established nascent directives…

It is critical that educators consider ways to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in the classroom to prepare future generations for growing STEM jobs. Occupational fields that benefit from knowledge and practice in STEM education are experiencing instant growth, and consequently employers are seeking ways to…

Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are utilized by universities as one component in assessing course effectiveness, despite evidence in the research regarding their validity. With the global COVID-19 pandemic, many universities rapidly transitioned teaching modalities from face-to-face to online learning, regardless of the faculty experience.…

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the Restricted Movement Order (RMO) due to COVID19 to March-July 2020 semester students of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malacca.

Most of the studies establishing factors affecting digital text and multimedia comprehension have been conducted in controlled conditions. The present study sought to test and extend the modality and seductive details effects, and the role of verbal ability and working memory capacity, to a remote, self-paced, E-learning scenario. Two hundred and…

Interactive learning is one of the approaches that is very important to explore in higher education. Chemistry students own smartphones, laptops, and tablets and could use appropriate apps to complement traditional forms of learning. Here we introduce a new app, MILAGE LEARN+, which integrates several teaching strategies, such as mobile learning,…

Class room instruction should be a self-regulated process and the learner should be self-motivated to explore problems and situations. Learning for the students who learn through web as a source of knowledge, the learning environment should be shifted to a learner centered rather than teacher centered environment. The advantage of social skills…
