Volungeviciene, Airina; Tereseviciene, Margarita; Tait, Alan – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2014
This research paper addresses the issues of integration of technology enhanced learning (TEL) into an educational organization. Good practice experience cannot be directly transferred to new organisations due to different contextual conditions. The TEL integration depends significantly upon a very rapid development of services and information…

Aghaee, Naghmeh; Hansson, Henrik – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
This paper describes a specially developed online peer-review system, the Peer Portal, and the first results of its use for quality enhancement of bachelor's and master's thesis manuscripts. The peer-review system is completely student driven and therefore saves time for supervisors and creates a direct interaction between students without…

Samuels-Peretz, Debbie – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2014
Discussions are commonly used in online teaching and have been shown to foster student learning and collaboration. This case study uses content analysis to explore the interaction patterns of student online discussions during a semester-long teacher preparation course using concepts from sociometry. Findings suggest that interaction patterns were…

Ching, Yu-Hui – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2014
This study explored the impact of role-playing on the quality of peer feedback and learners' perception of this strategy in a case-based learning activity with VoiceThread in an online course. The findings revealed potential positive impact of role-playing on learners' generation of constructive feedback as role-playing was associated with higher…

Ching, Yu-Hui; Hsu, Yu-Chang – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
There has been limited research examining the pedagogical benefits of peer feedback for facilitating project-based learning in an online environment. Using a mixed method approach, this paper examines graduate students' participation and perceptions of peer feedback activity that supports project-based learning in an online instructional design…

Shea, Peter; Hayes, Suzanne; Vickers, Jason – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2010
With more than 4 million students enrolled in online courses in the US alone (Allen & Seaman, 2010), it is now time to inquire into the nature of instructional effort in online environments. Reflecting the community of inquiry (CoI) framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) this paper addresses the following questions: How has…

Abeywardena, Ishan Sudeera; Tham, Choy Yoong; Raviraja, S. – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
Open educational resources (OER) are a global phenomenon that is fast gaining credibility in many academic circles as a possible solution for bridging the knowledge divide. With increased funding and advocacy from governmental and nongovernmental organisations paired with generous philanthropy, many OER repositories, which host a vast array of…

Shea, Peter; Hayes, Suzanne; Smith, Sedef Uzuner; Vickers, Jason; Bidjerano, Temi; Gozza-Cohen, Mary; Jian, Shou-Bang; Pickett, Alexandra M.; Wilde, Jane; Tseng, Chi-Hua – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
This paper presents an extension of an ongoing study of online learning framed within the community of inquiry (CoI) model (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2001) in which we further examine a new construct labeled as "learning presence." We use learning presence to refer to the iterative processes of forethought and planning,…

Sugar, William; Brown, Abbie; Luterbach, Kenneth – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2010
The researchers engaged in cooperative inquiry in order to explore screencasts as online instructional tools. In total, each researcher analyzed 37 screencasts, which provided over two hours of instruction. The content area of these screencasts concentrated on teaching specific computing procedures (e.g., how to install web server software or how…

Nguyen, Bao-An; Yang, Don-Lin – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
An ontology is an effective formal representation of knowledge used commonly in artificial intelligence, semantic web, software engineering, and information retrieval. In open and distance learning, ontologies are used as knowledge bases for e-learning supplements, educational recommenders, and question answering systems that support students with…

Nyerere, Jackline Anyona; Gravenir, Frederick Q.; Mse, Godfrey S. – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
The increased demand and need for continuous learning have led to the introduction of open, distance, and e-learning (ODeL) in Kenya. Provision of this mode of education has, however, been faced with various challenges, among them infrastructural ones. This study was a survey conducted in two public universities offering major components of ODeL,…

Ritzhaupt, Albert D.; Stewart, Michelle; Smith, Patryce; Barron, Ann E. – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2010
The field of distance education is composed of a multiplicity of topics leading to a vast array of research literature. However, the research does not provide a chronological picture of the topics it addresses, making it difficult to develop an overview of the evolution and trends in the literature. To address this issue, a co-word analysis was…

Gorsky, Paul; Caspi, Avner; Blau, Ina; Vine, Yodfat; Billet, Amit – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
The goal of this study is to further corroborate a hypothesized population parameter for the frequencies of social presence versus the sum of teaching presence and cognitive presence as defined by the community of inquiry model in higher education asynchronous course forums. This parameter has been found across five variables: academic institution…

Tammets, Kairit; Pata, Kai; Laanpere, Mart – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
The study proposes a way in which the learning and knowledge building (LKB) framework, which is consistent with the knowledge conversion phases proposed by Nonaka and Takeuchi, supports teachers' informal and self-directed workplace learning. An LKB framework in a socio-technical system was developed to support professional development in an…
