ERP systems have a reputation for their complexity, making it challenging for students to learn to use them. This study uses three common multimedia teaching methods, including the lecture, the video-based tutorial, and the paper-based tutorial to deliver hands-on SAP ERP exercises to students. Studies show that multimedia learning helps learners…

This paper explores the processes and outcomes of an action research project, which utilised action learning sets to explore the experiences of a community of academics, who promote pedagogical enhancement in a UK university. Five academics acted as participant action researchers in a longitudinal study exploring the issues they face within their…

Mathematics creativity is very important in studying mathematics at every level of education but less attention is paid to it in the teaching-learning process and this has resulted to poor performance in the subject. The study investigated how activity based learning approach can enhance the creative skills of primary school pupils. A sample of…

Based on elementary and secondary schoolwide implementation experiences at GEMS World Academy Chicago, this paper defines 'field studies' as a field-trip adaptation that connects curricular targets from one or more disciplines to student-directed inquiry-based experiences. We detail the process to develop and coordinate a schoolwide field-study…

Many universities have incorporated entrepreneurship education into their programs. However, research and the practice show that this curriculum is taught in various ways, which the authors group into three themes: teaching about entrepreneurship, teaching for entrepreneurship, and teaching through entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship educators face…

This account of practice is about the 'Scale Up' programme, an attempt by an external consultant and their client to implement a model of Action Learning in an academic environment. It tells the story of establishing an Action Learning programme for local business leaders in collaboration with an academic business school. The programme involved…

Informal learning experiences can provide valuable visitor-to-staff interactions that require skilled staff--often volunteers--to adjust to the needs of each visitor group. These experiences are often less regimented to provide increased flexibility for both the museum and the volunteer, allowing for more diversity of volunteer support. This…

The following article outlines the importance of classroom engagement through use of innovative group projects within a marketing research class. Project findings address learning engagement, student loyalty, and enhanced learning using an experiential learning based project designed to help students produce a marketing research project. The…

We examined the scope of peer feedback exchanged during group supervision of beginning supervisors throughout a semester-long doctoral-level experiential counseling supervision course. Concept mapping revealed 13 clusters representing five areas of beginning supervisors' peer feedback. Supervisors of supervisors and supervisor training programs…

This study proposes and explores "STREAM", a new concept that includes recreation to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) to improve STEM education. Fifteen college students participated in a recreational activity created by the authors to teach the concept of Distributed Ledger; the students did not have prior…

Area models are an important strategy for representing and solving multiplication problems under the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). The hands-on task presented in this article, featuring differentiation and open-ended learning, sets up students to discover area models for themselves. Organized around…

Study abroad (SA) is often equated to cultural learning, which is problematic when culture is presented as a fixed concept free of context. To challenge cultural labeling and develop students' critical consciousness, this study implemented an arts-based inquiry intervention within a United States (US) SA program in Italy. Using a Deweyan…

In this article, the authors share a unique science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) online field trip structure developed for high school students. The ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade students who participated in the virtual field trips were from multiple high schools. This article focuses on two virtual trips that the authors…

High-impact practices (HIPs), such as learning communities, undergraduate research, internships, study abroad, and culminating experiences, are lauded as transformative and particularly beneficial for historically underrepresented students. This article responds to the call to focus on racially minoritized student experiences in HIPs. The authors…

The cyber archaeometry concerns a new virtual ontology in the environment of cultural heritage and archaeology. The present study concerns a first pivot endeavor of a virtual polarized light microscopy (VPLM) for archaeometric learning, made from digital tools, tackling the theory of mineral identification in archaeological materials, an important…
