Wegmann, Susan J.; McCauley, Joyce K. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2014
This research project explores the effects of altering the structure of discussion board formats to increase students' engagement and participation. This paper will present the findings of a two-university, two-class research project in which asynchronous discussion board entries were analyzed for substance. By using oral discourse analysis…

Jorczak, Robert L.; Dupuis, Danielle N. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2014
This study compares undergraduate student exam performance of classroom and online course sections that have nearly identical instructional designs. The sections differed only in lecturing and peer discussion activities that are typical differences of classroom and online instruction. Classroom discussion activities were synchronous speech and…

MacMillan, Thalia; Forte, Michele; Grant, Cynthia – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2014
The dynamics of the student-student relationship within the asynchronous online classroom, as evidenced by conversations in an online discussion board, is a balancing act potentially more complex than those occurring in real-time. In order for learning to truly be considered effective, a collaborative, safe environment needs to exist among…

Dzubinski, Leanne M. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2014
The pace of globalization coupled with growing institutional pursuit of online education means that online classes are increasingly composed of a multi-national, multi-ethnic, and multi-cultural student body. Teaching presence, which is the ability to structure the class, create the social environment, give instruction, and assess student work, is…

Snyder, Martha M.; Dringus, Laurie P. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2014
Research is limited on how metacognition is facilitated and manifested in socially situated online learning environments such as online discussion forums. We approached metacognition as the phenomenon of interest partly through a methodological objective to evaluate the relevance of a metacognition construct and partly through a content objective…

Henning, Teresa Beth – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2012
This paper is a study of the author's experiences taking a six-week, asynchronous, online, faculty development class for educators at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Using autoethnography methods, the author details her learning and the ways her experiences support adult learning theories. Implications of this research suggest that adult…

Cavanaugh, Terence; Lamkin, Marcia L.; Hu, Haihong – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2012
Online instruction, like all traditional instructional environments, requires learner self-control and proactive learning to construct knowledge and acquire skills. However, online students often fail to complete some components of their online work each week, damaging their overall academic progress in the course. To assist students in completion…

Niemiec, Mary; Otte, George – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2009
Given the importance of administrative attention to blended learning, this article adumbrates the institutional benefits but also the institutional challenges of this integration of online and on-campus instruction. The reasons for engaging in blended learning determine how it will play out, so the "why" is given precedence over the "how". But…

Waters, Jim – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2012
The growth of online learning has exposed fundamental gaps in our knowledge, both theoretical and pragmatic. This research investigated some questions of the role of emergent leaders in online leaning and the influence of different behaviors. Firstly are there any common factors that identify thought-leaders? Secondly does the presence of…

Picciano, Anthony G. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2009
The purpose of this article is to propose a blending with purpose multimodal conceptual model for designing and developing blended learning courses and programs. A blended learning model is presented that suggests teachers design instruction to meet the needs of a variety of learners. Specifically, "Blending with Purpose: The Multimodal Model"…

Moskal, Patsy – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2009
The 2008 Sloan Blended Workshop evaluation track provided participants with ideas, methods, and resources with which to design and evaluate their courses, programs, and blended initiatives. The many questions that arose from participants at the Workshop provided the motivation to document our University's evaluation experiences at course, program…

Moloney, Jacqueline F.; Oakley, Burks, II – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2010
Over the past decade, online courses and entire online degree programs have been made available, serving millions of students in higher education. These online courses largely have been designed and taught using the theoretical concepts and practical strategies of Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN). During 2003-04, approximately two million…

Smith, Samuel H.; Smith, Samuel H.; Samors, Robert; Mayadas, A. Frank – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2008
Within our nation's public universities, online courses and programs have been increasing in number. This increase has led to the establishment of a National Commission on Online Learning through a collaborative effort between the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges. This commission…

Moore, Janet C.; Fetzner, Marie J. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2009
Although online course completion rates are commonly believed to be lower than in other delivery modes, some programs achieve equal or better course completion rates. This issue presents studies that suggest certain practices contribute to student success. Readers are invited to contribute to work-in-progress on key factors for a framework of…
