This study focused on postsecondary students who participated in solely online educational programs. The study sought to determine if there was a correlation between student personality traits and their ability to persist in online programs. In addition, this study revealed if a certain personality profile, based on the dominant trait, correlated…

Cooperative learning is associated with a variety of potential benefits to students, including better comprehension and retention, improved perceptions and attitudes, and increased openness to diversity. Yet, there is limited evidence or instruction on cooperative learning activities in asynchronous online classrooms, an increasingly common course…

During the global COVID-19 pandemic, to decrease the risk of viral spread, universities in the United States were forced to transition traditional classroom learning to online learning formats. Instructors who were teaching face-to-face classes had to urgently transition those courses to all-online. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological…

This study aims to present a sample online STEM education design that can be used at secondary school level. In the exemplary design, "environmental issues" were used with a focus on how important it is that the students approach the problems from an ecological perspective. The study was carried out with the "action research"…

The purpose of this research was to explore master-level counseling students' lived experiences when taking online counselor education courses within the past five years (i.e., 2017-2022). Traditionally, counselor education programs and classes are offered through in-person learning modalities. However, the increased movement and utilization of…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the preferences and practices of students enrolled in online graduate programs regarding instructional video or visual tools used by instructors. Graduate students enrolled in online courses were surveyed to determine their perceptions of the best and worst instructional video or visual tools…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have also received interest from researchers worldwide; however, there was no comprehensive review of the MOOC research. This paper aims to identify the MOOCs research scientific landscape as the trend from publications worldwide. In assessing research trends, the bibliometric network analysis using…

Asynchronous online discussions (AODs) are a central component of online courses and have been widely implemented in case-based instruction (CBI). In online CBI, AODs offer learners a medium for making sense of complex problems, as they consider case topics collaboratively with peers and facilitators. Therefore, learners' interactions with others…

The COVID-19 pandemic led institutions of higher education to move face-to-face (F2F) courses online. Here, Q methodology allowed the researcher to differentiate and describe the three student viewpoints that emerged about this situation. The "It is what it is" view represents acceptance of the situation despite missing their F2F…

The COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in unprecedented campus closures and social distancing, has reinforced the value of learning using a virtual teamwork format. While a large body of research focuses on the inputs (members' skills, motivation, technology, and virtuality) and outcomes (satisfaction, performance, and learning) of virtual teamwork, to…

A synthesized investigation, employing graphical and analytical approach, has been conducted to examine inadequacy of electronic education and limitations posed by transformative mode of learning from students' perspective. Moreover, the breadth of subject understanding through digital mode and students' preference for physical or electronic mode…

Online Professional Learning (PL) has become a fundamental modality of providing PL support to teachers. The online learning design is one of the characteristics linked to the course's effectiveness. This Educational Leadership Portfolio (ELP) aims to improve the quality of online professional learning courses by identifying the features of online…

The lack of connectedness experienced by college students during the COVID-19 pandemic was problematic. An innovative approach undertaken in a (virtual) graduate classroom at Clemson University was the concept of team teaching. Team teaching allows a group of instructors to work together to enhance student learning. Upon course completion,…

Persistence in distance learning has become problematic. This quantitative nonexperimental study examined whether perceived connectivity, perceived internal locus of control, and age predict persistence in online master's degree programs. Rotter's locus of control theory, Moore's transactional distance theory, and Rovai's composite persistence…

The dynamics of students' engagement in online mathematics learning during the pandemic have differed significantly from face-to-face learning. To further investigate this, the current study aims to examine the relationship between student adaptability and engagement, taking into account the mediating role of self-regulation and the influence of…
