Self-regulated learning (SRL) is critical in online learning, and profiling learners' SRL patterns is needed to provide personalized support. However, little research has examined how each learner performs the cyclical phases of SRL based on trace data. To fill the gap, this study attempts to derive SRL profiles encompassing all cyclical phases of…

Social factors, including social ties (the extent to which students form social ties with other students in the course) and social capital (the resources which are accessed through our social networks), have been acknowledged as important predictors of learning outcomes. Furthermore, they may be particularly important in online distance learning…

First-year students in a distance learning institution face academic writing challenges arising from inadequate writing skills developed in high school, the need to adapt to new writing standards, and limited language proficiency. These challenges could potentially lead to higher dropout' rates, increased failures, and delayed qualification…

Online learning has become an integral part of students' learning, and the development of internet-specific epistemic justification (ISEJ) has considerable significance in promoting learners' online learning effectiveness. This study aimed to explore the roles of college students' grades, learning media preference, online learning engagement…

Internationalization at a Distance (IaD) challenges the place-based nature of traditional mobility-centered internationalization initiatives. As technology increasingly drives forth new possibilities for internationalization, there is a growing need to reconceptualize place within digital programs. By reconsidering place through a…

This paper explores the potential of online micro-credentials, a novel learning approach that awards credentials after short educational experiences, as a viable solution to bridging the soft skills gap in the workforce. Using a qualitative foresight research design, the study analyzes and synthesizes insights gathered from 85 in-depth interviews…

This systematic review synthesizes 14 peer-reviewed studies from 2015 to 2023, focusing on the assessment methods and delivery of digital microcredentials. Microcredentials provide specialized, focused content and recognize professional learning or competency in specific skills. This paper defines digital microcredentials as those offered in an…

Leadership in online education involves strategically managing digital learning environments to ensure effective instruction and engagement. This research aims to identify the publication trends and highlight trending research topics and scientific conversations in this field of leadership in online education. Using 947 records from the Scopus…

Turning the camera on during online classes is one method to generate two-way interactions between the teacher and the students. The present study seeks to uncover factors that are thought to impact student attitudes. This study explored how demographics influenced student attitudes toward using cameras in distance classes. We analysed data from…

This research explores pre-service teachers' perceptions and experiences during their online practicum, using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. This qualitative study analyzed pre-service teachers' reflections on their online practicum. Initially, content analysis categorized their reflections based on TPACK…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review and categorize current trends in student engagement and performance prediction using machine learning techniques during online learning in higher education. The goal is to gain a better understanding of student engagement prediction research that is important for current educational planning and…

The COVID-19 pandemic caused nearly ubiquitous emergency remote teaching in both secondary and post-secondary education. While there has been a plethora of work examining how instructors adjusted classes to incorporate active learning during emergency remote teaching, there has only been minimal work examining how such emergency remote teaching…

This study used a single-subject design to determine the effectiveness of the Cool versus Not Cool (CNC) discrimination procedure to teach social skills to three young U.S. adults with autism. The CNC procedure was administered remotely during this study. The specific social skills targeted were asking open-ended questions and responding…

Purpose: This paper explores current teaching and learning practices, benefits and challenges in the implementation of Internationalization at Home (IaH) in higher education. Design/methodology/approach: The study follows a systematic review (SR) protocol in accordance with the PRISMA Statement, covering published research from 2018 to 2022.…

Based on the instructional interaction principles outlined by Chen and Wang (2016) in third-generation distance learning, this study employs a recursive logical perspective on the evolution of the theory of interaction in distance education. It constructs a structural equation model to measure the mediating utility path of the learner's proactive…
