Blieck, Yves; Kauwenberghs, Kurt; Zhu, Chang; Struyven, Katrien; Pynoo, Bram; DePryck, Koen – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
Online and blended learning (OBL) is valued, but it also offers challenges. Literature indicates that OBL can enhance access to education and increase flexibility for students. However, the reported dropout rates indicate that student participation in OBL programmes is a concern. Scientifically valid knowledge about how factors that help students…

Friesen, N.; Lowe, S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
Facebook and other social media have been hailed as delivering the promise of new, socially engaged educational experiences for students in undergraduate, self-directed, and other educational sectors. A theoretical and historical analysis of these media in the light of earlier media transformations, however, helps to situate and qualify this…

Ravenscroft, A.; Schmidt, A.; Cook, J.; Bradley, C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
This paper presents an original approach to designing social media that support informal learning in the digital workplace. It adapts design-based research to take into account the embeddedness of interactions within digitally mediated work-based contexts. The approach is demonstrated through the design, implementation, and evaluation of software…

Levy, S. T.; Lahav, O. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
This paper addresses a central need among people who are blind, access to inquiry-based science learning materials, which are addressed by few other learning environments that use assistive technologies. In this study, we investigated ways in which learning environments based on sound mediation can support science learning by blind people. We used…

Clough, G.; Jones, A.C.; Mcandrew, P.; Scanlon, E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
There has been increasing interest in informal learning in recent years alongside interest in how such learning can be supported by technology. However, relatively little is known about the extent to which adults make use of their own mobile devices to support informal learning. In this study, a survey was used to investigate whether, and to what…

Gu, X.; Zhang, B.; Lin, X.; Song, X. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
This paper describes and assesses the development of an online solution for the experiential support of distance learning by teachers. Three hundred and forty-eight randomly selected K-12 teachers participated in this pilot study using the online learning environment designed in this research. Teachers' products, surveys, and interviews were…

Powell, D.; Dixon, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
The recent increase in short messaging system (SMS) text messaging, often using abbreviated, non-conventional "textisms" (e.g. "2nite"), in school-aged children has raised fears of negative consequences of such technology for literacy. The current research used a paradigm developed by Dixon and Kaminska, who showed that exposure to phonetically…

Guldberg, K.; Mackness, J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
This research draws upon community of practice theory to explore the factors that enabled or hindered participation in an online "Foundations of Communities of Practice" workshop--a course that is designed to align with Wenger's communities of practice perspective. The research used a mixed methods approach, drawing upon log-on and posting data,…

Ahanchian, M. R.; McCormick, J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
Virtual teamwork is a growing mode of operation within organizations through the increasing sophistication and accessibility of computer-mediated communication. The purpose of this paper was to develop a new conceptual framework and propositions to assist understanding of a new training phenomenon. The approach used was the integration of related,…

Vandenbroeck, M.; Verschelden, G.; Boonaert, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
The literature seems to suggest that women may be at risk from being excluded from adult education programmes, which use e-learning, especially when they have low economic status. Based on a survey of 551 women, family day care providers, we conclude that there is a persistent divide in PC access and use, as well as in perceived PC skills…

Davidson, J. K.; Elliot, D. L. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
This paper investigates and compares the utilization of online resources to support teaching and learning in two different educational sectors with overlapping student groups in Scotland: secondary schools and further education (FE) colleges. The online "Core Skills" materials included Numeracy, Communication, Information Technology…
