The duration variesfrom 30 min to a class-long and beyond, going into a series of class meetings to finish anactivity. A lot of content is focused on the school subject topics. Some of those subjects,like mathematics, physics, and chemistry are present in both high school and college.Others, like some types of engineering, have no direct
avenue to discuss and reflect on the complexity of the students’ values, needs, and circumstances.This exercise could easily be modified and adapted for use in a variety of settings. Future workwill involve completing a more thorough analysis of student stories, specifically with regards tothe impact of student sense of belonging and identity development.References[1] C.

The Teaching Pathway, for example, is designed to allow students to earn both anaccredited engineering degree and licensure as a mathematics, science, or engineering teacher,while the Pre-medical Pathway will allow students to take all of the coursework required foradmission to medical schools. The Environmental Studies Pathway leverages the environmentalengineering courses currently offered through civil engineering plus coursework in geosciences,social science, and public policy to strengthen the multidisciplinary curriculum.

structure of these cohorts is also critical to theoverall success of the venture [12].With adult learners, the needs are diverse and often quite different than the traditional K-12 orundergraduate student, especially when considering the working adult [13]. This is one reasonwhy learning cohorts are a valuable structural method for adult learners. Spaid and Duff [13]define a learning cohort as “a group of 10-30 students that enroll at one time and advancethrough a program taking the same courses at the same time” (p. 104). These cohort groups offerstability and continuity that is often not readily provided in a traditional collegiate format [13].Cohort models that allow students to move through courses and the program together aid inestablishing a

To address the transformative effects of ChatGPT on the learningenvironment, it is crucial to educate both teachers and students about the capabilities andlimitations of the tool. Academic regulations and evaluation practices used in educationalinstitutions need to be updated to accommodate the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools.Educators should

Unlikeonline learning, the transition to ERT had limited time for the planning and design processesthat are required for effective online learning [3]. The duties of transitioning courses for ERTincreased instructors’ workload [3], including redesigning assessments, as more emphasis wasplaced on formative assessments rather than summative [5]. Instructors were also required toacknowledge interpersonal matters such as access to reliable internet and students’ personalresponsibilities when they returned to their homes [5].Research about instructors’ experiences during the pandemic have started to emerge
