In response to the rapidly changing realities of higher education, educators need to reconceptualise how they think about learning spaces. This paper examines how the concept of connected learning space may better represent the learning experiences of postgraduate students than paradigms of physical and/or virtual space. Eleven focus groups,…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore the behavior pattern, perceptions, and motivations of students towards academic misconduct in a Business School with a view to mitigating its occurrence. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted among a batch of undergraduate students who responded to various dimensions of plagiarism…

Feedback is a process in which students play a central role. To support this process, recent conceptual research suggests that students need to develop feedback literacies. However, additional empirical research is required to validate emergent frameworks of feedback literacy, including an investigation of the components of feedback literacy,…

Research is urgently required to understand COVID-19's impact on international students and satisfaction with support interventions. This study investigated these dimensions for international business students studying in Australia to inform international HE policy and marketing.

Higher education institutions are leveraging the attributes of digital devices to enhance student's learning. The capability of digital devices to present visual images is the subject of this article, specifically the potential for visual organizers (VOs) to support students in an undergraduate marketing research course. Students reported that VOs…

Studies have reported that employers, graduates, and other stakeholders do not believe that higher education curricula facilitate the development of teamwork competencies adequately.

Advances in technology have significantly enhanced the quality of mixed-reality simulations, incorporating both real and virtual aspects. Mixed-reality simulations have been used to develop individual knowledge, skills and abilities in higher education; however, the use of such simulations to introduce authentic learning activities into higher…

Assessment is a key driver for engagement and a widely criticised aspect of the tertiary student experience. In regard to assessment, in particular, feedback, rubrics and peer review have been major focuses for researchers in recent years. This research utilised an innovative peer review process in a triad structure to evaluate and improve…
