In this article, we explore the process of creating spaces for the practice and inquiry of transformative listening through the development of the Transformative Listening Protocol (TLP). Our premise is that embodied listening opens doors to transformations via a process to improve listening and safe spaces where people may engage with each other…

COVID-19 required educators and students to rapidly move to online learning. Simultaneously, while navigating the pandemic in lockdown, citizens were exposed to the brutal murder of George Floyd. The increased exposure to online activity and discrimination generated a hyperawareness of the potential link between the two. Our interest was to…

Nurses acknowledge that their understanding of the shortcomings in the utilization of medical devices stems from insufficient knowledge about their correct usage. The use of Quick Response (QR) technology has paved a new gateway for accessing information and resources. The available evidence confirmed the usefulness of QR codes for use in clinical…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore and highlight the issues and challenges teachers face while supervising thesis and projects in distance/online learning mode. Design/methodology/approach: This is a cross-sectional qualitative study. Grounded theory approach using Gioia methodology has been applied. Semi-structured interviews of 16…

Integrating education practices and measurements of brain activity has the potential to make learning more engaging and productive. Direct recordings of electrical activity in the brain provide important information about the complex dynamics of the cognitive processes and mental states that occur during learning, which can ultimately empower…

This study examines the extent to which the learning orientations identified by student self-reports and the observation of their online learning events were related to each other and to their academic performance. The participants were 322 first-year engineering undergraduates, who were enrolled in a blended course. Using students' self-report on…

The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing many institutions to consider remote, virtual instruction for the safety of employees and students. Based upon the authors' experiences in transforming preclerkship medical science courses to virtual platforms, this paper shares tips for faculty rapidly establishing remote medical science instruction. With planning…

There is a growing interest in the use of learning analytics in higher education institutions. Learning analytics also appear to have the potential to be used to provide personalized feedback and support in online learning. However, when the literature is examined, the use of learning analytics for this purpose appears as a gap to be investigated.…

Programming in schools is no longer a novel subject. It is now quite commonly found in our schools either in formal or informal curriculum. Programmers use creative learning tactics to solve problems and communicate ideas. Learning to program is generally considered challenging. Developing and implementing new methodologies in teaching programming…

One of the most pressing issues in online learning systems that have contributed to the failure of online education and student dropout is the lack of interaction. Investigating and exploring the different factors that influence learners' online interaction and engagement are crucial for e-learning success. This study proposes a research model to…

This study investigated the affordances and constraints of a VR-based learning environment for the teaching training of university graduate teaching assistants in relation to the task, goal-based scenarios, and learning support design. Seventeen graduate teaching assistants participated in a multiple-case study with an OpenSimulator-supported,…

This two-part observational and intervention study addressed the role of the smartphone in self-regulated learning (SRL) and student success as measured by achievement. Smartphone usage among students has been identified as contributing to lower academic achievement in a variety of settings. What is unclear is how smartphone usage contributes to…

With the emergence of technology, the personalization of e-learning systems is enhanced. These systems use a set of parameters for personalizing courses. However, in literature, these parameters are not based on classification and optimization algorithms to implement them in the cloud. Cloud computing is a new model of computing where standard and…

At a private university, a correlational survey design was implemented to assess students' perceptions towards Open Educational Resources (OER) before experiencing an open course design initiative and to subsequently provide stakeholder feedback for guiding pedagogical decisions. The Student Textbook Survey was employed to determine if interest in…

Interdisciplinary training for doctoral students is an emerging scenario in higher education. The learning relations of knowledge transfer (KT: transferring knowledge from one person to another) and knowledge integration (KI: integrating or synthesizing perspectives from different disciplines) built by doctoral students play an important role in…
