Cochrane, Thomas; Narayan, Vickel; Aiello, Stephen; Alizadeh, Mehrasa; Birt, James; Bone, Elisa; Cowie, Neil; Cowling, Michael; Deneen, Chris; Goldacre, Paul; Sinfield, David; Stretton, Todd; Worthington, Tom – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
Mobile learning is well established in literature and practice, but under-evolved from a rigorous learning design perspective. Activity theory presents a sophisticated way of mapping and understanding learning design, but for mobile learning this does not always translate into change in practice. The reported research addresses this by coupling a…

Li, Qing; Moorman, Lynn; Dyjur, Patti – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
This research seeks to (1) establish a feasible development and implementation model for an inquiry-based learning environment with e-mentoring using videoconference, and (2) apply the model to examine its impact on rural students' learning. To achieve these goals, we developed a model of inquiry-based learning with e-mentoring (IBLE) based on…

Kozaris, Ioannis; Varella, Evangelia A. – Online Submission, 2010
In 2006 and 2008, two large trans-national residential summer schools on conservation science were organized as intensive programs. Learners were not only second/third cycle students in both exact sciences and humanities, but further practicing restorers; consequently their educational background, and even their way of approaching scientific…

Brett, Clare; Forrester, Bruce; Fujita, Nobuko – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2009
This study looked at the instructional and assessment effects of using learning journals in three distance asynchronous computer conferencing courses (n = 18, n = 16, n = 17). The instructor used a design-research methodology: each iteration of the course involved modifications to how learning journals were used based on analyses of the responses…

Shale, Doug; Garrison, D. Randy – 1989
An audioteleconferencing system enhanced with a microcomputer-based telewriting system was used for the delivery of an introductory statistics course designed for home study which was offered by Athabasca University. From the instructor's point of view, the telewriter system made supporting the delivery of the statistics course much easier and…
