Research questions
What are the definitions of success from students’ perspective? 33
What are the different design components (content, interactivity, assessments) that impact student learning? 29
What patterns of behaviors lead to increased student learning for different populations? 26
How can we define and measure student success beyond traditional outcomes? 25
What support structures are critical to providing quality access to online instruction? 22
What is the currency of student learning beyond the existing credit hours? 22
What are the key components that promote a sustainable and an effective teaching and learning ecosystem? 21
Framework of inquiry
Framework of inquiry
Research toolkits
Shared measures – Student performance is based on numerical representation of grade converted to a 4.0 scale received in the course on assessments and as an overall grade.
RQs - What are the different design components (content, interactivity, assessments) that impact student learning?
