Faulconer, Emily K.; Gruss, Amy B. – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018
The effectiveness of traditional face-to-face labs versus non-traditional online, remote, or distance labs is difficult to assess due to the lack of continuity in the literature between terminology, standard evaluation metrics, and the use of a wide variety non-traditional laboratory experience for online courses. This narrative review presents a…

Rodriguez, Brenda Cecilia Padilla; Armellini, Alejandro – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2015
Although interaction is recognised as a key element for learning, its incorporation in online courses can be challenging. The interaction equivalency theorem provides guidelines: Meaningful learning can be supported as long as one of three types of interactions (learner-content, learner-teacher and learner-learner) is present at a high level. This…
