Rockinson-Szapkiw, Amanda J.; Holmes, Joe; Stephen, Jacqueline S. – Online Learning, 2019
Based on a synthesis of persistence theory and the empirical literature, an online doctoral program integration model was developed using data from 232 online EdD students. A predictive, correlation design and regression analysis were used to examine if personal factors (gender, race, age, marital status, and presence of children in the home) and…

Gibbons-Kunka, Beatrice – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2017
The notion of synchronous office hours in an asynchronous course seems counterintuitive. After all, one of the tenets of asynchronous education is to not require students to be online and participating at any time during the course. Having taught higher education online asynchronous courses for twenty years, the researcher experimented with online…

Kumar, Swapna; Ritzhaupt, Albert D. – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2014
A cohort-based online professional doctorate program that consisted of both online coursework and research activities was designed using Garrison et al's community of inquiry (CoI) framework. The evaluation of the program proved a challenge because all existing CoI assessment methods in the past have dealt with online courses, not with online…

Agee, Jane; Uzuner Smith, Sedef – Studies in Continuing Education, 2011
In this mixed-methods study, we investigated how doctoral students used asynchronous online discussions that were added to a face-to-face research methods course. We focused specifically on what sociocognitive tools the students used and what they thought about the value of the online discussions for their learning. Our data included three online…
