Summary: The study examines the application of academically productive talk (APT) in online teaching during the pandemic. It reveals that APT is used to a lesser extent in remote, online classes, and is associated with interactive instructional formats. Teachers with higher teaching self-efficacy, autonomous orientations, and empathy tend to promote APT more in online teaching. More APT is associated with greater teacher well-being and student motivation and engagement.

Summary: Past research has shown that helping behavior plays a vital role in academic settings, but little is known about peer-to-peer help-giving in online learning environments. This study aimed to understand the conditions for effective peer help-giving in online college course discussion forums. The findings revealed that help-giving replies could be direct or indirect, and the model developed contributes to enhancing online learning opportunities for students.

Summary: Self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to the responsibility individuals take for their own learning. Self-regulatory skills are crucial for success in online learning. Previous research has mainly relied on self-reporting tools, but online trace data analysis has the potential to provide more authentic and convenient measures of SRL. This paper conducts a systematic review of studies that used online trace data to measure SRL, addressing research questions on data interpretation approaches and challenges.

Summary: The study evaluated antimicrobial stewards' experiences with a dashboard display integrating local and national antibiotic use data. It found that the social dimensions of tool use are as important as the decision support provided by the dashboard. Successful stewardship tools should be designed to meet both the social and cognitive needs of users.

Summary: This study assessed the treatment trends for patients with CRE from 2012 to 2018. The findings revealed a decrease in the utilization of aminoglycosides and colistin, while there was an increase in the use of extended-spectrum cephalosporins and ceftazidime-avibactam. Moreover, significant uptake of ceftazidime-avibactam, a newly approved antibiotic, was observed for treating CRE infections.

Summary: We examined the experiences and perceptions of the Self-Stewardship Time-Out Program (SSTOP) intervention in different implementation sites to enhance antimicrobial use. Through semistructured qualitative interviews with Antibiotic Stewardship physicians and pharmacists, five key themes were identified. SSTOP has the potential to promote sustainable improvements in antibiotic use.

Summary: This study examined the perspectives of non-steward clinicians who interact with antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) in their role as frontline healthcare workers. The analysis identified four primary perspectives regarding ASPs: non-ASP pharmacists considered ASP activities a high priority; nurses acknowledged limited understanding and involvement with ASPs; physicians criticized ASPs for their restrictions on clinical autonomy; and hospital leaders expressed support for ASPs and recognized the challenges faced by non-ASP clinical staff.
