The starting point of the paper is the co-construction of gender and technology, that is, the theory that the usage of and the attitude to certain kinds of technology are a way to "do" one's gender. A survey is presented that supports the assumption that with the routinization of e-learning in higher education e-learning loses its…

Hilton, John, III; Wiley, David A.; Lutz, Neil – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
An important element of open educational resources (OER) is the permission to use the materials in new ways, including revising and remixing them. Prior research has shown that the revision and remix rates for OER are relatively low. In this study we examined the extent to which the openly licensed "Flat World Knowledge" textbooks were being…

Romero, Marc; Guitert, Montse; Sangra, Albert; Bullen, Mark – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2013
Some authors have stated that university students born after 1982 have been profoundly influenced by digital technologies, showing different characteristics when compared to previous generations. However, it is worth asking if that is a current observable phenomenon. Are those students born after the 80s really more familiar with ICT tools than…

Quillerou, Emmanuelle – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2011
The development of new communication technologies has led to a push for greater technology use for teaching and learning.
