Virtual mobility experiences provide a valuable option to enrich student learning and development from home. However, there is a lack of evidence of how these online experiences are leveraged in STEM and their potential positive effect on students’ critical thinking capabilities. This study explores and details the design of a short-term virtual program and its influence on science students’ critical thinking. The program focused broadly on agric…

Design-based research principles for student orientation to online study
Few institutions have reported research on students' use of orientation programs designed for mature students returning to study in contemporary learning environments now regularly amalgamating distance and online strategies.

Integral to the design is active student engagement with activities to e…
