Using qualitative data, this article unleashes the narratives of teachers (n = 20), engaged in the universities and colleges of Kashmir, about synchronous online teaching. Their narratives were replete with a range of negative emotions regarding the pedagogical, political and personal domains of online teaching. These negative emotions have been…

A convergent parallel mixed methods study was employed to investigate teacher candidates', peers', and the instructor's perceptions of teacher candidates' teaching performance during an online field experience using virtual simulation in a mixed reality environment. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected simultaneously, analyzed…

This study is part of a larger critical discourse analysis (CDA) that examines technology-enhanced learning environments, such as online learning, e-learning, Web-based learning, computer-assisted learning, computer-mediated learning, and open and distance learning. The goal of this qualitative research was to analyze how educational technology…

The use of fully online (FO) mathematics teaching has been increasing worldwide. Despite claims and findings that mathematics is more challenging to teach FO than face-to-face (F2F), we know little about FO mathematics teaching. In this paper, we address this gap by working to elucidate the differences between teaching in the FO and F2F…

The growth of online learning has created a need for instructors who can competently teach online. This literature review explores the research questions, program recommendations, and future research suggestions related to professional development for online instructors. Articles were selected and coded based on date of publication and the context…

During the COVID-19 pandemic period of almost two years, online teaching was adopted by Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) mostly as an emergency measure to maintain endurance in teaching-learning activities in academics. Although a lot of research works have focussed on the teaching-learning strategies deployed during the pandemic period, the…

The COVID-19 pandemic has struck education system around the globe. The pandemic initiated an immediate and complete lockdown of all the educational institutions, to keep social distancing. According to healthcare professionals, lockdown and social distancing could help to flatten the infection curve and reduce total fatalities from the COVID-19…

The aim of this investigation was to survey faculty members on their perceived level of preparedness to design and implement hybrid flexible (HyFlex) instruction. Participants included 121 full- and part-time faculty. Using an electronic survey, faculty members: a) rated their preparedness to engage on different HyFlex instruction competencies, b)…

The demand for online learning is growing which makes it apparent that there is a demand for educators who are prepared to teach online. Scarce are online science courses, especially laboratory courses, and all academic disciplines not offering online courses because educators are not prepared to teach science online. The purpose of the research…

Online education has been permanently established in secondary education. Multiple sets of quality standards provide a guide for quality online course design and online instruction. While the standards are based on educational research, there is little research to substantiate the implementation and effectiveness of the standards in promoting…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers were forced to move their teaching completely online. While some seized the opportunity to learn and innovate, others experienced difficulties. This study provides insights into the differences between university teachers during the COVID-19 crisis. A survey among university teachers (N = 283) was conducted…

The novelty of this study is in developing a conceptual model for predicting the non-linear relationships between human-computer interaction factors and ease of use and usefulness of collaborative web-based learning or e-learning. Ten models (logarithmic, inverse, quadratic, cubic, compound, power, s-curve, growth, exponential, and logistic) were…

A close examination of student successes and failures in online teaching can inform and improve future pedagogy. This reflective case study involves a close examination of how an online MSW course was conducted prompted by a significant drop in student qualitative and quantitative feedback in the end of term Student Evaluations of Teaching in Fall…

This qualitative multiple case study attempts to capture and document the lived experiences of a group of elementary educators surrounding the COVID-19 emergency school closures of the 2019-2020 school year. The purpose of this study is to capture the observations and reactions of teachers after their experience using the Collabrify Roadmaps…

Many mathematics students require support for learning challenges, such as those invoked by mathematics anxiety. Support for these learning challenges is imparted through personal interactions between the student and the instructor, support staff or their peers. The online delivery of mathematics classes and support meetings reduced the quality of…
