Incorporating technology with linguistics has created opportunities to explore the effectiveness of grammar checkers in cultivating an autonomous learning culture among English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) learner. Even though there have been numerous studies on grammar checkers to cultivate autonomous…

Contribution: This research explores the benefits and challenges of developing, deploying, and evaluating a large language model (LLM) chatbot, MoodleBot, in computer science classroom settings. It highlights the potential of integrating LLMs into LMSs like Moodle to support self-regulated learning (SRL) and help-seeking behavior. Background:…

The increasing prevalence of online courses has highlighted the importance of digital literacy for students. This study investigates the relationship between digital literacy and academic achievement among students who participate in an online course on anatomy and physiology. The study also evaluates how different aspects of digital literacy,…

This study examines the use of evidentials in the 21 Independent Study (IS) manuscripts of EFL undergraduates across three learning contexts: onsite, online, and hybrid. The analysis reveals significant shifts in the use of evidentials, particularly during the online and hybrid phases, reflecting how these contexts influence academic writing…

Gamification-based instruction learning design can enhance students' conceptual knowledge and academic achievement by reversing before-class and in-class activities. This strategy raises the issue of students having to learn independently, especially for self-directed learning (SDL), where students often struggle. To create a flipped classroom for…

Teachers' thought processes are critical in the adoption of any new teaching practices, including those emphasizing students' autonomous motivation. Teachers' experiences may be particularly important in classes for struggling readers, as these educators must not only support students' development of autonomous learning skills but also deliver…

Many educational institutions in higher education switched to problem-based learning (PBL) in the last 5 decades. Despite its' successful implementation worldwide, many institutions still encounter problems in their daily teaching practices that limit deep learning in students. This raises the question: How else can we look at PBL practice and…

One issue that continues to impact higher education is students entering college without the skills and dispositions necessary for success at the postsecondary level. While instructors and educational leaders and often pay significant attention to addressing students' lack of the prerequisite content knowledge in mathematics, reading, and writing,…

A major assumption on which this study was based is that principals are looked to by their teachers as leaders of transformational change in their school. In order for these principals to be successful in leader transformational change principals must have received training and practice on leading transformational changes in a school environment.…

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…

Self-directed learning is generally considered a key competence in higher education. To enable self-directed learning, assessment practices increasingly embrace assessment for learning rather than the assessment of learning, shifting the focus from grades and scores to provision of rich, narrative, and personalized feedback. Students are expected…

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…

Lecture capture videos were explored as beyond the classroom course materials in upper-level descriptive inorganic chemistry courses during Fall 2017, Fall 2018, and Fall 2020 semesters. Page views data from the learning management system (LMS) Canvas site served as a proxy for course content usage materials such as lecture capture videos. There…
