Integrating cognition, self-regulation, motivation, and metacognition
The adoption of blended and hybrid Flipped Classroom (FC) models increased dramatically during COVID-19 and is still highly valued and recommended for enhancing the quality, flexibility, and effectiveness of teaching and learning post-pandemic. While meta-analyses indicate a small yet meaningful effect size of the FC approach, examined studies often lack theoretical groundings and/or explicit design frameworks. As a result, there is an ever-incre…

Change and Continuity in English Armies, 1453–1513
This article explores how and why English armies changed between the mid-fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. It thereby addresses a topic that has hitherto not received the attention it deserves, especially the issue of change and continuity across the late medieval and early modern divide. Administrative sources, such as indentures of war and inventories, are examined to trace changes in the terminology used to describe soldiers, the weapon…

The effects of competitive classroom activities on undergraduates with varied levels of competitive preference
Classroom instructors regularly incorporate competitive activities into classroom instruction to increase student engagement and interest. However, research has identified negative impacts associated with competition in the classroom, bringing the efficacy of these activities into question. Further complicating the question of efficacy is the potential impacts of individual differences in preference for competition during these activities. This s…
Lessons learned
Immersive technologies such as augmented reality (AR) have the potential to enable students to remediate invalid assumptions about molecular structure through visualizing site-specific, non-observable chemical processes. In this study, we explore how this technology-embedded instruction impacted student perceptions and experiences in a collaborative face-to-face and independent remote organic chemistry laboratory, the latter of which occurred dur…
The Arms and Armour of the Bishopric of Winchester in the Thirteenth Century
This article examines the inventories of arms and armour stored at the castles of Taunton and Farnham that are recorded in the pipe rolls of the bishopric of Winchester in the thirteenth century. Relatively few inventories for this period survive, which means that these rolls provide unique insights into changes in military equipment in England. This includes providing information about the types of armaments used by footmen, crossbowmen, and kni…
The new normal
Although we can be proud of the way that K-12 educators and students battled the COVID-19 online learning storm, the experience may not provide the most representative version of what “online learning” can be. Many teachers, students, and parents were left with a distaste for this experience even though the emergency shift varied extensively from true virtual learning. It is important to consider how to best facilitate the movement toward true on…
Italian arms and armour for the royal household of Edward IV
The remittance of the custom duties due on a consignment of Italian military equipment imported into England provides valuable information on the type of equipment used by men-at-arms during the Wars of the Roses. It offers insights into royal procurement during the early part of the reign of Edward IV and evidence of a revival of the use of heavy cavalry in English warfare
Royal and Urban Gunpowder Weapons in Late Medieval England
First comprehensive study of English artillery in the late Middle Ages, bringing out its full impact on areas beyond the military
The scourge of the stones’
In 1415, the army of Henry V of England succeeded in capturing the French town of Harfleur after a six-week siege. This was a watershed moment in the history of warfare, as it was the first time that an English army had made extensive use of gunpowder weapons in besieging a sizeable urban settlement. Firearms were subsequently used in all major military operations, playing a key role in siege warfare and soon completely superseding traditional me…
