In the last few years, several works have emerged focusing on the cultural change that has to do with the simultaneous and sequential coexistence between different media. This is what is being called transmedia, and it is related to the new concepts of media convergence and participatory culture. All this new mediatic and cultural movement, of…

Students should have a strong conceptual understanding of the connection between force and acceleration before they start working with applications and problem solving. This has been discussed in the literature. During these days of flipped classroom instruction, an at-home activity could be especially valuable. I will describe an experiment with…

Classroom space limitations and increasing student enrollments push universities to the development of alternative course delivery models. The authors describe how a high-enrollment, general elective course was converted into a HyFlex model. A HyFlex course provides flexible participation, allowing students the choice of attending face-to-face…

The purpose of this article is to provide information from a research study that looked at the (re)imagining of a learning technologies course, "Integrating Technology with Teaching (ITT)." The course was (re)imagined to meet the needs of students who will be preservice and future teachers. Course design for the (re)imagined course was…

Contribution: While design project courses offer first-year students a practical introduction to engineering, a portion of class time is usually spent on lecturing foundational knowledge instead of practicing engineering design. This article presents a blended design-based learning (bDBL) approach that makes class time more efficient and explores…

With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities adopted a hybrid learning model as a substitute for a traditional one. Predicting students' performance in hybrid environments is a complex task because it depends on extracting and analyzing different types of data: log data, self-reports, and face-to-face interactions. Students must…

Audiovisual content is highly employed in modern education curricula. This study aimed to identify students' perceptions regarding the use of video in the courses they attend. Quantitative research was conducted among students of journalism and communication studies. Four courses were used for this study that employ video-based and video-assisted…

Most research has examined flipped learning within the context of face-to-face (F2F) instruction. However, previous research has not effectively explored the possibility of how online synchronous flipped learning influences pre-service teachers (PSTs) in teacher education programs during Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Recognizing the gap in the…

Purpose: The Catholic Church expects theological institutes, priests and seminarians to be well-informed, critical and creative users of information and communications technology. Currently, most theological institutes use the traditional face-to-face teaching method. An attempt to implement blended learning as an innovative teaching and learning…

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Blended Learning (BL) formats, are widely adopted across K-12 learning environments. Upon graduation, preservice teachers may be expected to implement UDL and BL practices. The present study was motivated by the need to provide preservice teachers with live modeling of UDL and BL concepts. Learning analytics…

This study aimed to understand the relationships among administrative support, teacher self-efficacy, and teacher anxiety on teacher stress during COVID-19. The study explored United States teacher perceptions during Fall 2020 as teachers and schools returned to teaching in multiple online formats (hybrid and virtual). Teachers (N = 311)…

Currently, technology has become the core of development and prosperity processes in various sectors of the world, including the educational sector. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly created many problems in the educational sector, especially when the education system was completely closed, and different countries of the world sought to mitigate the…

Blended learning which synthesizes face-to-face instruction with distance education opportunities in educationally meaningful ways aims to take advantage of the affordances of both genuine and virtual types of teaching and ubiquitously equip learners without the limitation of time and space. Blended learning has been integrated into several…

This case study examines how a cohort of eleven induction secondary STEM teachers engaged learners during the onset of COVID-19 and their designs for student engagement given an online or blended teaching context in fall 2020. Participants attended a summer professional development workshop guided by trauma-informed teaching practices and learner…

The highly contagious coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that began in late 2019 has greatly affected education globally, especially for learning skills that require human contact and constant practice in order to achieve competency. Similar to the rest of the world, the closure of theaters and suspension of school activities in…
