Venturino, Marielle; Hsu, Yu-Chang – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
Open distance e-learning (ODeL) is an essential form of e-learning for students in South Africa. It allows expanded access to higher education for students from rural or socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. One of the key features of ODeL is that students can complete coursework modules virtually, without the need to step onto a physical…

Azukas, M. Elizabeth – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic caused the largest education system disruption in history, resulting in many districts abruptly, and often ineptly, implementing remote learning to maintain the continuity of instruction. The majority of educational leaders were unprepared for working and delivering instruction in virtual environments. Research indicates that…

Roseth, Cary; Akcaoglu, Mete; Zellner, Andrea – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2013
Online education is often assumed to be synonymous with asynchronous instruction, existing apart from or supplementary to face-to-face instruction in traditional bricks-and-mortar classrooms. However, expanding access to computer-mediated communication technologies now make new models possible, including distance learners synchronous online…

Michels, Barbara J.; Chang, Ching-Wen – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2010
"Necessity is the mother of invention," as the saying goes, and in this case, it surely was. A telecommuting faculty for a Midwest public university wanted to see a graduate student's presentation as a guest speaker in an instructional technology course on campus. However, this faculty lives in another state, so that was impossible. As a daily…

Kearns, Lorna R.; Frey, Barbara A. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2010
Communication, collaboration and community development are processes that contribute to student satisfaction and learning in online courses. This paper describes a study that investigated how campus and distance graduate students in a library science program communicated with one another outside the official boundaries of their courses. We…

Johnson, Genevieve, Marie – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2006
This paper presents a review of recent research that examines the relative instructional utility of text-based synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC). As a mechanism for limiting the number of studies reviewed as well as controlling for emergent technologies, only research published since 2000 was reviewed. The goal was…
