USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Numerous research showed having a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can affect families in many ways (Brace, 2009; DeGrace, 2004; Fantaroni, 2012).

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
There is a lack of empirical research on the motivational regulation and reactions of higher education students enrolled in blended courses.

In this mixed-methods exploratory case study, I explored in what ways nontraditional adult learners' motivational regulation and their motivational reactions to course design relate to their perceived learning experience in a blended technology course with a flipped design. Specifically, I investigated how nontraditional community college students described their goals for participating in a blended course prior to the start …
