Hakan Genç; Mehmet Kesim – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
In critical situations caused by crises such as a pandemic, emergency remote teaching (ERT) practices might not be effective because they depend mostly on on-the-spot decision-making. On the other hand, open and distance learning (ODL) has its own dynamics and is a well-planned system. In order to put quality ODL plans into practice in crisis…

Yavuz Akbulut; Abdullah Saykili; Aylin Öztürk; Aras Bozkurt – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Online surveys are widely used in social science research as well as in empirical studies of open, online, and distance education. However, students' responses are likely to be at odds with their actual behavior. In this context, we examined the discrepancies between self-reported use and actual use (i.e., learning analytics data) among 20,646…
