Black, Erik W.; Greaser, Joe; Dawson, Kara – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2008
Limited empirical research exists regarding the prevalence of academic dishonesty in the online classroom. This limited evidence supports the notion that factors contributing to academic dishonesty in the traditional classroom also apply to online courses. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between factors known to contribute…

Barrett, Anne E.; Pai, Manacy – Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, 2008
Much of the literature on teaching gerontology derives from experiences in face-to-face settings. There is limited discussion of either the applicability of teaching techniques drawn from the traditional setting to the online environment or the development of novel strategies to engage distance students of aging. We developed and assessed an…

Ivins, Tiffany Zenith – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2008
While availability of information and access to it enables education in developing countries, information alone does not secure transmission of knowledge--especially to remote learners in low-tech, infrastructure-poor communities. For this reason, 21st century distance education tools require innovative mechanisms for accessing the…
