Xiao, Junhong – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Despite its mainstreaming into the broader educational ecology, open and distance education (ODE) still leaves much to be desired in terms of both practice and research. Inspired and informed by the author's 35 years of experience as an ODE practitioner, researcher, reviewer, and editor, this article concentrates on 10 critical issues of ODE…

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…

Philippa Waterhouse; Naomi Moller – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2024
As labour markets undergo rapid and profound transformations, lifelong learning is essential to ensure a responsive, competitive, and skilled workforce. Mature learners are a diverse group, but in comparison to their younger student counterparts, are more likely to have employment and/or caring responsibilities. This field note discusses the…

Racquel Biem; Dirk Morrison – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Ethical education practices require that all students have access to quality learning resources, necessary learning supports, diverse learning strategies, and deep learning opportunities. When it comes to learning strategies and opportunities, collaborative learning practices foster deep learning through socio-cultural interactions, asserting that…

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…

Wilson, Emerald C.; Berge, Zane L. – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Within its 20 years of development, the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework has become the most widely used theoretical framework in e-learning. It is considered in much of the distance education literature to be a robust collaborative-constructivist process model that uses three essential elements to interpret educational experience: cognitive…

Rawson, Rebecca; Okere, Uchechukwu; Tooth, Owen – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2022
Recent research in the field of virtual reality (VR) education is dominated by the application, experience, and effectiveness of high-immersive environments. However, high-immersive VR may not be accessible to all learners, with online distance learning students in particular unable to fully engage without being supplied with appropriate…

Hanny, Courtney N.; Graham, Charles R.; West, Richard E.; Borup, Jered – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Despite increased interest in K-12 online education, student engagement deficits and the resulting student attrition remain widespread issues. The Academic Communities of Engagement (ACE) framework theorizes that two groups support online student engagement: the personal community of support and the course community of support. However, more…
