Adult learners make up a significant portion of college and university students in the United States, but awareness and data around this population and their challenges, particularly for students enrolled in online programs, are lacking. Practitioners and others in the ecosystem also lack research into the experiences of adult students…

This systematic literature review provides an overview of research and practices that have occurred over the last five years in the realm of adults learning mathematics through online learning. It includes research in the tertiary space, much of which has focused on university education. Systematic literature reviews are a method of making sense…

This literature review explores how various challenges and possibilities of enacting collaborative inquiry (CI) in online contexts intersect with this holistic action research method's aims of transforming participant being, knowing, and doing. This article asks how digital tools and virtual platforms enable and constrain the democratic…

This paper summarizes the results of an analysis of the impacts of adopting information and communication technology (ICT) solutions in a learning context. The analysis is based on a literature survey of articles reporting research cases studying the impact of adopting ICT based solutions in various learning contexts. The subject has been reviewed…

While comprehensive texts, articles, and literature reviews presenting research in the singular arenas of motivation, help-seeking, and online science learning are relatively easy to find, syntheses and interactions between these constructs are lacking. Part I of this review addresses this knowledge gap by drawing together key research from the…

This paper attempts to explain the various concepts related to self-directed learning and also the various theories and models regarding adult participation and also non-participation in self-directed learning programs. Because of the extensive amount of previous literature and research findings dealing with self-directed learning, it is necessary…

This article fills a theoretical gap by identifying an understudied subject area for human resource development (HRD) theory building, learning participation of HRD interventions in organizations. The topic has critical significance in current HRD practices, such as concerns on e-learning dropout rates and HRD measurement and evaluation. First, a…
