We created an online discussion forum, with the teacher serving as the moderator. 58 posts and 1,955 comments were collected. We analysed these data through Latent Dirichlet Allocation to determine word cooccurrence and extract key topics from the discussions. We examined how the topics and depth of the discussion changed over time and the roles that the students and teacher played in the forum by using time-series data. The results indicate that the teacher played a crucial role in the forum by initially serving as a moderator and then guiding or prompting students to discuss certain topics. Those who participated more actively achieved higher grades, and those that were passive had lower grades at the end Overall, the online discussion forum enhanced the course by helping students understand the core materials and topics in the course.KEYWORDS: Higher educationonline discussion forumLatent Dirichlet Allocationtime-series data Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation Youth Foundation of China [62207026].Notes on contributorsWei XuWei Xu is an associate professor at the College of Educational Science and Technology of Zhejiang University of Technology.

There is a wealth of advice videos presented by ‘insiders’ including students, academics, consultants and institutional representatives. This article explores such ‘find a supervisor’ videos, characterising them as texts in the broader genre of doctoral writing advice. The article examines a sample of these videos thematically and then discursively, offering insight into the advice they give, as well as their positionality and rhetorical constructions of authority. Although potentially helpful to applicants, particularly those without strong networks, these videos nonetheless contribute to a complex advice market which requires critical scrutiny in terms of motivation and message. The article argues that, although supervisor advice videos may provide accessible support, they also capitalise on doctoral anxiety and perpetuate a culture of compliance with higher education norms, rather than encourage institutional and cultural transformation towards inclusivity.","PeriodicalId":47628,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Education and Teaching International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135037422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While a challenging time, these were also opportunities in disguise. There is evidence that HPE is historically slow to adapt at the best of times; COVID-19 was an unavoidable catalyst for change. As the world tries to adapt to ‘COVID-19 normal’ life, it is essential that those in HPE consider what a ‘COVID-19 normal’ response might be. The learnings noted in this paper draw on recent literature and aim to help health professional educators consider what we have learned from our experiences during the height of the pandemic and ways of advancing curricula, teaching and learning. While the learnings are drawn from the health professions, they likely have relevance to professional and higher education more broadly.KEYWORDS: COVID-19competenciescurriculumhealth professional educationhigher educationpandemic AcknowledgmentsThank you to Ingrid Scholten for acting as a critical friend and providing encouragement and valuable suggestions.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsSarah BarradellSarah Barradell, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer at Swinburne University.

The research objective was to use PBL as a teaching method where students learn by actively participating in a real professional task – preparing antenatal classes for future parents. We were also interested in developing recommendations for teachers and organisations using PBL in distance education. The study was conducted as mixed-methods research, using qualitative and quantitative data. Forty-four students and 131 future parents participated in the study. Results showed the importance of managing the PBL: learning environment, teamwork, mentoring and the use of information technologies and tools for learning purposes with appropriate didactic and learning strategies. The pedagogical process of PBL in distance education is based on interactive modelling of ICT and virtual reality with didactically integrating professional knowledge and skills in the virtual pedagogical process.KEYWORDS: Distance educationvirtual learning environmentPBLICTstudentsevaluation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors ContributionsAnita Jug Došler, Tita Stanek Zidarič and Metka Skubic: Conceptualisation, Investigation, Formal analysis, Data curation, Writing – original draft, Writing – review and editing.Notes1.

Specifically, this paper argues that the negative sides of the hidden curriculum could partially account for students’ dissatisfying writing development and unpleasant writing learning experiences and discusses its possible harm to educational effectiveness and equality.
