This study introduces a modular teaching framework for business data analytics (BDA) curricula and programs. The framework integrates gamification features of the SAP business processes, ERPsim Games, and SAP data warehousing into the experiential learning of BDA curricula. The pedagogical practices of deploying the framework in an undergraduate…

Equilibrium is a challenging concept for many, largely because developing a deep conceptual understanding of equilibrium requires someone to be able to connect the motions and interactions of particles that cannot be physically observed with macroscopic observations. Particle level chemistry animations and simulations can support student…

With the current stance of the educational system in the COVID-19 pandemic period, it is imperative for any academic institution to have a nuanced perspective of the academic performance of its learners. This ensures that the educational system remains attuned to the institution's vision and mission amid the global health crisis. Although a…

Traditional classroom infrastructure has been completely replaced by digital platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and others during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective of this research is to empirically verify the research question "Is online learning providing better academic performance than offline (face-to-face)…

In organizations, teams are ubiquitous. "Weakest Link" and "Best Shot" are incentive schemes that tie a group member's compensation to the output of their group's least and most productive member, respectively. In this paper, we test the impact of these incentive schemes by conducting two pilot RCTs (one in-person, one online),…

This qualitative descriptive study was conducted to explore and describe the training and professional development needs of instructors moving from in-person to online-only instruction. The intent of the study was to encourage administrators to assess these needs and develop training and professional development programs that will meet need these…

The purpose of my study was to explore the instructional transitions from in-person to online by counselor education faculty due to COVID-19. Through a transcendental phenomenological approach (Moustakas, 1994), eight counselor educator participants were interviewed via a semi-structured format. All interviews took place online via Zoom, were…

This phenomenological study design explored the lived experiences of teachers' perceptions of virtual professional experiences through the lens of adult learning theory. The participants were comprised of elementary educators from a suburban county in New York state. The participants in this study were all forced to shift to virtual teaching and…

Research results from the past decade on the efficacy of online instruction for high school students varies. While many researchers suggested that younger students, mathematics students, and already struggling students who take online classes were underperforming compared to their classmates in the same course taken face-to-face (f2f), other…

The reliance on online learning systems has increased during the COVID-19 epidemic to maintain education. The effectiveness of online life and earth science instruction is assessed in this study which involves 150 first-year high school students. Methodologically, it juxtaposes elearning with traditional classroom teaching across various…

Although previous research has identified undergraduate student motivations for selecting online courses over face-to-face courses, this work tended to examine students as a single group. The current research presents survey results of business school students demonstrating that these motivations differ significantly by classification. Freshman…

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) did not allow elementary aged students to receive the vaccination for COVID-19 (which will be referred to as the pandemic) until the Spring of 2021. This created two environments: the face-to-face learning environment and the virtual learning environment. Teachers were thrown into a situation in which they had…

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented shifts in higher education worldwide. These sudden educational changes have the potential to accelerate the acceptance of online learning, or, conversely, to increase its rejection. The purpose of this experimental study is to examine students' acceptance of and intentions toward the continued use of…

The purpose of this quantitative ex post facto study was to examine the effectiveness of online learning amidst a global pandemic versus traditional learning and its impact on the achievement of secondary students. More specifically, the study investigated if there was a significant difference in the English Language Arts II test scores, Algebra…

The sport industry is a billion-dollar business that continues to grow, and with it, so are sport management degree programs (Stokowski et al., 2022). While these academic programs are growing, the research highlighting them is not. Pedagogical research has examined student satisfaction in many different avenues of academia, but there are few…
