“…Students' willingness to engage in high-impact language practice in the program and their perceptions of significant transformation show the benefits of the personalized support amplified by the application of culturally responsive pedagogy in online teaching and learning settings (Baron & McNeal, 2019;Nussli et al, 2019). From this, there are five pedagogical insights.…”

International students with low academic English proficiency face challenges with reading their course materials and writing assignments. Their challenges are exacerbated during remote learning, as they remain in their home countries, immersed in their home languages, which may be quite distant from academic English. To investigate the effects of culturally responsive pedagogy for international students online, quantitative and qualitative data were collected from a learner-driven, instructor-facilitated (LeD-InF) support program at a large university in southern Ontario. This fully online delivery of the Reading and Writing Excellence (RWE) program was re-envisioned from a long-running co-curricular program that addressed students’ academic English reading, writing, and critical thinking needs. Among eight groups (with the total enrolment of 154) in the Fall 2020 academic term cycle and nine groups (with the total enrolment of 226) in the Winter 2021 academic term cycle of the online RWE program, the intervention groups that were additionally supported with culturally responsive pedagogy had the highest volume of writing output and engagement metrics among all groups. The text data (of student voices and experiences) also reinforces the efficacy of culturally responsive pedagogy in facilitating student experience, constructing identities, promoting learner agency, increasing satisfaction, improving students’ perceptions of learning, and realizing transformative inclusivity.

This chapter focuses on the utilization of simulations to assist learners in active learning. Throughout the chapter, there are several areas of focus. These include the importance of using active learning in an online environment; a focus on the value of simulations within online, hybrid, and face-to-face environments; an emphasis on simulation design for both individuals and teams; a focus on redesigning current passive learning activities to active learning simulations; a section dedicated to assessing student learning within the simulation and creating appropriate assessment materials; and examples of simulation success for both individual and group simulations. The chapter concludes with final takeaways regarding simulation creation and optimal use.

The most important word for contemporary global higher education institutions is retention. Although online education enrollment in these institutions has increased by approximately 40 percent in recent years, the dropout rates for online students is approximately 20-30 percent more than for face-to-face classes. Institutions have tried to address this issue, but the dropout rate continues to be a serious concern. The authors of this manuscript propose that the addition of online services for online students as a possible solution.
