Instructors' attention to students is vital for teaching. However, instructors' level of attention to students, which has the potential to influence students' learning across different lecture types, has yet to be fully explored. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of the instructor's attention to students and lecture type on…

Simulation-based teaching can be a valuable method for learning statistical concepts. Its practical implementation for health-related subjects is seldomly evaluated. We propose a simulation-based approach to teach interaction effects in a postgraduate biostatistics course. We describe the steps involved in organizing and implementing a…

Online learning has grown in popularity over the last few years. Understanding what factors and how they contribute to students' e-learning engagement is crucial for the success of online education. Based on the ecological system theory, this study aims to examine the association between perceived social support and e-learning engagement among…

This article investigates the potential mathematical learning opportunities arising from a digital activity designed to enhance students' comprehension of equations. Employing a commognitive-oriented lens, the analysis explores the potential mathematical discourses that could emerge from students' interactions with a digital scale inspired by the…

In online courses, much of the course communication occurs in public spaces. In synchronous courses, the video and audio channels represent a shared space, and although private chat messages are possible, they may not be substantial or frequent. In asynchronous courses, discussion boards are the allocated space for communication. In these…

Play has been discussed by mathematicians and mathematics educators as essential to mathematical progress and has been widely acknowledged to have a role in learning. Yet, play is rarely acknowledged, leveraged, or studied for mathematics learners beyond early childhood. Moreover, there are theoretical and empirical challenges with designing for…

Preparation of new graduate nurses is more important now than ever given the current state of health care. The pandemic has caused online nursing education to be a permanent content delivery modality across all degree programs. Best practices for e-learning only address course organization, instructional materials, learner interaction, course…

COVID-19 has significantly impacted humankind's lifestyle since its emergence. Educational institutions quickly adopted online courses to deal with its spread. Regrettably, the adoption of e-learning solutions, particularly in Africa, has not given due priority to security. However, cyberattacks and cyber incidents are leaping forward. To propose…

The problem this qualitative case study addressed is how poor online teacher communication has resulted in students enrolled in full-time virtual schools underperforming academically with assignment completion. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers' perceptions of how their online communication strategies contribute to the timeliness…

The rise in technology, social media, and video has led to the desire for short, interactive, and visually appealing instructional materials. Modern learners want flexibility, repeatability, accessibility, and low-stakes knowledge checks. A multimedia e-learning module may meet the learner's desires. This article describes the conception,…

Background: Team-based learning (TBL) is a widely recognised pedagogical strategy used in diverse fields and courses. Despite the success of TBL, certain concerns have arisen regarding social loafing within group collaboration contexts; this loafing can reduce the overall effectiveness of learning. Objectives: This study addressed the…

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) is an effective lecture video design that includes a screen capture video in the center and the instructor's talking head in one corner. Few research studies have directly investigated the usage of PIP lecture design by non-native English-speaking (NNES) instructors. The current study investigated the effects of PIP…

Information technology advancements have facilitated the widespread adoption of online education, providing learners with more flexible and convenient means of accessing educational resources and completing learning tasks. To improve the quality of online education and promote collaborative learning, online assessment is crucial in this…

Lecturers' pandemic challenges with transitioning to online teaching indicate them needing better 'online teaching dexterity' or the ability to negotiate a range of online teaching situations. This kind of teaching competency needs to be better understood as institutions are seeking more educational flexibility through online learning beyond the…

As online doctoral education continues to grow, faculty members are faced with mentoring an increasing number of students. To effectively support these students' research projects, faculty mentors need to develop strategies that take into account the unique challenges of online environments. This study, based on Crawford et al. (2014) theoretical…
