Abstract

The shift towards HyFlex learning in the post-pandemic era has introduced new challenges for higher education, particularly in maintaining student engagement and motivation in online learning environments. This paper examines the potential of anonymous asynchronous online discussion forums (AODFs) to enhance participation and engagement in large online classes. We propose a new model of forum management that integrates question-answering and peer-to-peer interaction, allowing students to post questions anonymously while responses remain non-anonymous. The study investigates the evolving roles of teachers and students in promoting and participating in forum activities, adopting a “students as partners” perspective. Data from the implemented AODF indicate increased student participation and motivation, with a substantial portion of non-academic questions addressed through peer discussion. Challenges such as lurking behavior and the limitations of relying solely on technology are also highlighted. The study underscores the critical role of instructors in evaluating and adapting emerging technologies to meet student needs and foster a sense of community in online learning environments.

Abstract

In higher education, student evaluations play a crucial role in assessing teaching quality. However, these evaluations areofteninfluenced byextraneous factors, e.g., false high-grade expectations indicated by course instructors. While previous research has extensively examined the long-term implications of grade inflation, the immediate impact of students' expectations for higher grades on their teaching evaluations has been less explored. This paper leverages smart campus data from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, coveringthe periodfrom 2018 to 2020, to addressthis gap. By selecting four representative indicators, we investigate their potential to enhance teaching quality through student evaluations. Our analysis reveals that integrating additional data on student life and academic performance from Smart Campus systems can help identify key factors influencing students’ expected grades. This, in turn, allows for more precise adjustments to teaching evaluation results, pave the way to develop AI models aimed at enhancing the accuracy and reducing the incredibility of student evaluation of teaching.

Abstract

The experience and duration of musical instrument training are often constrained by several practical and pedagogical limitations, including restricted physical space, high costs of instrument acquisition and maintenance, and reliance on traditional, instructor-centered teaching methods. These challenges can limit accessibility, reduce practice opportunities, and hinder learner motivation, particularly for beginners and individuals without access to formal music education environments. This study explores the potential of VR to enhance musical instrument experience and training by providing users with interactive, virtual environments where multiple instruments can be accessed and practiced without the need for physical resources. Through VR, learners are able to engage in diverse training scenarios, experiment with different instruments, and receive immediate feedback in a controlled and customizable setting. Furthermore, VR-based musical training integrates elements of gamification such as challenges, rewards, and progression systems, which can significantly increase learner engagement, motivation, and persistence. By transforming practice into an interactive and enjoyable experience, VR has the potential to address common barriers associated with repetitive and monotonous training routines. In addition, VR platforms can support self-paced and individualized learning pathways, accommodating users with varying skill levels and learning preferences. The findings of this study suggest that VR-based musical training not only enhances user engagement but also contributes to improved learning outcomes, particularly in terms of skill acquisition, retention, and confidence building. The immersive and interactive features of VR enable learners to develop motor skills, auditory perception, and performance techniques in a more intuitive and experiential manner. This research highlights the transformative potential of VR in redefining musical education by making it more accessible, cost-effective, and engaging. It underscores the role of emerging technologies in overcoming traditional barriers and expanding opportunities for music learning across diverse populations.
