challenges that the faculty and student instructorsovercame are the following:1. Lack of developed online materials [9]. Existing services at this university consisted of in- person appointment services which were underutilized by existing students in lieu of walk-in tutoring services. With funding from Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF), this university pivoted to utilize online education resources/infrastructure and to support students learning with integrated courses [10].2. Student’s Lack of Discipline and Studying Skills. With online learning during COVID, the students had to become driven learners and the regulation of their own learning became pivotal [12], [13]. In the new virtual environment, students now had

To mitigate this problem, the Ghana Health Service has implemented theCommunity Based Health Planning Services (CHPS) program, in which community healthofficers (CHOs), individuals with basic healthcare training, are positioned in rural communitiesto assist in preventative and emergency healthcare. The premise is that healthcare workersembedded in a community, even if working alone, can disseminate information regardingpreventative measures (nutrition, hand-washing, water quality, sanitation, malaria prevention,etc.), provide basic and some emergency medical care when transport to a healthcare center isimpossible or impractical, and relay information about the health of the community to the Ghana

relationship with their academic institutions, research, and colleagues and whathappens when this does not occur smoothly will provide valuable insight to mitigate attrition.While identifying and understanding the causes of attrition is essential, it is necessary to develop practicesand interventions that will promote student retention simultaneously. Over the last few decades, severalprograms and initiatives have emerged to encourage scholastic achievement and support underrepresentedpopulations. For example, students who participate in research internships, mentoring relationships, andsummer bridge programs complete their degrees at higher rates than students who lack these experiences[15]. In addition, several initiatives, such as the federal TRIO

In particular, I am interested in teacher/learner interaction across various settings, including multi-dimensional design- based implementation research (DBIR) in various workplaces and academic institutions. In addition, my work looks at the impact of co-constructed methodologies in settings that are a mix of informal sites as well as traditional (but evolved) classrooms. I am

However, the focus of the research presented inthis paper pertains exclusively to the experiences of students when they are in college—we arelooking neither at pre-college experiences nor post-college employment activities. To be certain,what takes place in college has a relationship to the information students are provided by collegecounselors and student affairs personnel, and the experiences that an engineering or sciencestudent has in college impacts the employment that may follow college. However, the focus ofthe presented research is confined to the pedagogical practices engineering and science studentsencounter while

Due to a turn of events surrounding Black Americans encounters with law enforcement,Black Lives Matter (BLM) --a movement of social-political activism that emerged in 2013-- hasseen a burst of activity. Following George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor’s death,this movement has prompted a drastic increase in statements released by corporations
