THE VALUE OF TWO HIGH-IMPACT EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES IN AN ONLINE COURSE: A CASE STUDY

Abstract
Abstract - A feeling of isolation has been cited in the literature as one of the main reasons students dropped off their online courses. 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 was examined. This study's primary goal was to assess students' perceptions of the usefulness of ePortfolio and their overall experience in the capstone course. The findings indicated how a program implemented ePortfolio in the entire program could impact students’ acceptance and view of ePortfolio. Limitations of this research study were also presented.
