Lowenthal, Patrick R. – Distance Education, 2022
Research suggests that video can improve social presence in online courses. Video, though, is not a panacea; rather the success of video use depends in part on how and when it is used.

Holmes, Wayne; Nguyen, Quan; Zhang, Jingjing; Mavrikis, Manolis; Rienties, Bart – Distance Education, 2019
There has been a growing interest in how teaching might be informed by "learning design" (LD), with a promising method for investigating LD being offered by the emerging field of "learning analytics" (LA). In this study, we used a novel LA for LD methodology to investigate the implementation of LD in an online distance learning…

Huang, Biyun; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Hew, Khe Foon; Warning, Peter – Distance Education, 2019
Gamification offers potential for improving students' online discussion quantity and the depth of discussion content. However, very few studies have examined the social network patterns when students are posting and providing peer-feedback to each other in gamification-based environments. In response to those gaps, this study used a learning…

Kang Ma; Abubakar Bello; Jingjing Dong; Muhammad Chutiyami – Distance Education, 2024
Blended teaching (BT) in pre-service teacher (PST) education has significantly increased, particularly owing to the impact of COVID-19. However, there is limited literature on how pre-service teachers (PSTs) adjust to this mode of teaching. This study provides new longitudinal evidence on the adaptability of PSTs (n = 1285) and its predictors,…

Soovendran Varadarajan; Joyce Hwee Ling Koh; Ben Kei Daniel – Distance Education, 2025
Micro-credentials (MCs) are gaining traction in higher education, aligning with Open, Flexible, and Distance Learning (OFDL) ideals. Despite the growing interest, their full impact on academia is still being debated. This highlights the need for research into the institutional factors essential for integrating MCs successfully, particularly as…

Xiao, Junhong – Distance Education, 2018
This reflection focuses on the position of distance education in today's global higher education. Firstly, it identifies three types of convergence of distance and campus-based education--dual mode, add-on/blended, and full convergence--arguing that the last type has yet to be fully realized due to the complexities involved. It then critiques the…
