Mid-term and end-of-semester surveys indicate that students found strategies such as mini-lectures, Quick Checks, and…

Following Moore's conceptual framework of the three types of interactions: (1) Learner-Instructor; (2) Learner-Content; and (3) Learner-Learner, the following sequence of three articles discuss applications of core practice principles in online higher education kinesiology courses. Specifically, this article focuses on core practice principles…
