Phillips, Rob; Kennedy, Gregor; McNaught, Carmel – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
This paper attempts a fundamental analysis of the nature of research into e-learning and the role that theory plays in this. We examine "research" in broad terms, and the nature of phenomena in general. We identify that e-learning is an artificial phenomenon, and that research approaches need to be cognisant of the design elements in e-learning,…
