The outcomes include boosting attendance and intellectual engagement (Das et al, 2019;Kropf et al, 2019), increasing student satisfaction and self-efficacy (Krsmanovic, 2021), enhancing student academic performance (Wilson et al, 2018), and improving course completion rates (Hudson et al, 2015;Kropf et al, 2019). The ultimate goal of course redesign is to support students to learn better and acquire a broader knowledge of the study field (Kropf et al, 2019).…”

Adult learners take online courses or programs because of the convenience, cost-saving, flexible schedule, and work-life-school balance. In the United States, student enrollment in online education has proliferated in the past few decades. The online modality of providing education has become a crucial part of higher education. Online courses are in high demand. However, due to adult learners' characteristics and work-life situations, the course design and facilitation in online education can only partially replicate directly from the traditional classroom setting. Owing to high attrition rates in online classrooms, institutions and educators must carefully design or redesign courses relevant to the competitive job market demands. The need for contemporary instructional designs focusing on student-centered education is essential. Supported by comprehensive research studies, active learning, and high-impact educational practices have helped learners develop critical competencies and skills required by employers. Moreover, adopting appropriate pedagogical practices is necessary for better student engagement, academic performance, and retention rate.

“…Course redesign allows higher education institutions and educators to rethink how to deliver instructions to maximize learning (Das et al, 2019;Theodosiou & Corbin, 2020). Numerous research studies have revealed that innovations in course curricula, instructional delivery, and pedagogy can improve student engagement, support student learning, boost student satisfaction and self-efficacy, and increase course completion rates (Budihal et al, 2020;Kropf et al, 2019;Krsmanovic, 2021;Wilson et al, 2018). A well-planned and executed course redesign takes a learner-centered approach that could help resolve many issues associated with the existing course (Das et al, 2019).…”

A feeling of isolation has been cited in the literature as one of the main reasons students dropped off their online courses or programs. Innovations in instructional design and delivery can boost student engagement, advance student learning, and enhance student success. Based on the findings generated from countless evidence-based research, high-impact educational practices are effective teaching strategies and can substantially benefit students. This paper presents a case study in which a capstone course incorporated with ePortfolio in an online master’s program in healthcare administration is examined. This study's primary goal is to assess students' perceptions of the usefulness of ePortfolio and their overall experience in the capstone course. The findings shed light on how a program implemented ePortfolio in the entire program could impact students’ acceptance and view of ePortfolio. Limitations of this research study are also presented. The contribution of this case study to high-impact educational practice research and implications for institutional decision-makers and educators are also discussed.
