Yaxin Tu; Qiyun Wang; Changqin Huang – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2025
Learners' emotional engagement in synchronous online learning (SOL) is critical for improving learning persistence and performance. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews of emotional engagement in SOL. This review synthesizes the strategies to promote emotional engagement in SOL found in published…

Martin, Florence; Sun, Ting; Turk, Murat; Ritzhaupt, Albert D. – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2021
Synchronous online learning (SOL) provides an opportunity for instructors to connect in real-time with their students though separated by geographical distance. This meta-analysis examines the overall effect of SOL on cognitive and affective educational outcomes, while using asynchronous online learning or face-to-face learning as control groups.…

Pimmer, Christoph; Rambe, Patient – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018
This paper critically reviews literature on the role of Mobile Instant Messaging (MIM) applications, such as WhatsApp, in supporting learning and teaching practice. Using formal qualitative synthesis as its methodology, and dialectical theory as an analytical framework, our main objective was to identify tensions, affordances, constraints, and…

Mittelmeier, Jenna; Rogaten, Jekaterina; Long, Dianne; Dalu, Mwazvita; Gunter, Ashley; Prinsloo, Paul; Rienties, Bart – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2019
Much research in face-to-face contexts outlines the importance of early adjustment on students' higher education experiences. However, few studies have replicated this research in distance learning contexts to unpack the early multifaceted adjustments associated with studying in absence of a physical campus. This is particularly needed from a…

Venegas-Muggli, Juan I.; Westermann, Werner – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2019
This article examines the effect of two Open Educational Resources (OER)--Khan Academy Collection and a teacher-authored open textbook--on mathematical course performance and attendance amongst first-year higher education Chilean students. It also aims to find out about teachers' and students' views on the use of OER in order to understand how…

Eady, Michelle J.; Woodcock, Stuart; Sisco, Ashley – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2017
As e-learning maintains its popularity worldwide, and university enrolments continue to rise, online tertiary level coursework is increasingly being designed for groups of distributed learners, as opposed to individual students. Many institutions struggle with incorporating all facets of online learning and teaching capabilities with the range and…

Stenbom, Stefan; Jansson, Malin; Hulkko, Annelie – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2016
In online learning research, the theoretical community of inquiry framework has been used extensively to analyze processes of inquiry among learners and instructors within a community. This paper examines a special case of community of inquiry consisting of only one learner and one instructor. Together they engage in an online coaching discourse…

Rockinson-Szapkiw, Amanda J.; Wendt, Jillian; Wighting, Mervyn; Nisbet, Deanna – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2016
The Community of Inquiry framework has been widely supported by research to provide a model of online learning that informs the design and implementation of distance learning courses. However, the relationship between elements of the CoI framework and perceived learning warrants further examination as a predictive model for online graduate student…
