Glazier, Rebecca A.; Harris, Heidi Skurat – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2021
Post-COVID-19, many, if not most, college and university instructors teach both online and face-to-face, and, given that online courses historically have higher attrition rates, designing and facilitating effective online courses is key to student retention. Students need online and on-campus courses that are well designed and facilitated, but…

Song, Donggil; Rice, Marilyn; Oh, Eun Young – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2019
Online learning environments could be well understood as a multifaceted phenomenon affected by different aspects of learner participation including synchronous/asynchronous interactions. The aim of this study was to investigate learners' participation in online courses, synchronous interaction with a conversational virtual agent, their…

Eady, Michelle J.; Woodcock, Stuart; Sisco, Ashley – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2017
As e-learning maintains its popularity worldwide, and university enrolments continue to rise, online tertiary level coursework is increasingly being designed for groups of distributed learners, as opposed to individual students. Many institutions struggle with incorporating all facets of online learning and teaching capabilities with the range and…

Wang, Qiyun; Lang Quek, Choon; Hu, Xiaoyong – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2017
In this study, a blended synchronous learning environment (BSLE) was created to support a group of graduate students when they were taking a course. Instruction was delivered to both face-to-face (F2F) and online students simultaneously. The purpose of this paper is to present how this BSLE was gradually designed, implemented, and improved by…

Impey, Chris D.; Wenger, Matthew C.; Austin, Carmen L. – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2015
Astronomy: State of the Art is a massive, open, online class (MOOC) offered through Udemy by an instructional team at the University of Arizona. With nearly 24,000 enrolled as of early 2015, it is the largest astronomy MOOC available. The astronomical numbers enrolled do not translate into a similar level of engagement. The content consists of 14…

Stenbom, Stefan; Jansson, Malin; Hulkko, Annelie – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2016
In online learning research, the theoretical community of inquiry framework has been used extensively to analyze processes of inquiry among learners and instructors within a community. This paper examines a special case of community of inquiry consisting of only one learner and one instructor. Together they engage in an online coaching discourse…

Rockinson-Szapkiw, Amanda J.; Wendt, Jillian; Wighting, Mervyn; Nisbet, Deanna – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2016
The Community of Inquiry framework has been widely supported by research to provide a model of online learning that informs the design and implementation of distance learning courses. However, the relationship between elements of the CoI framework and perceived learning warrants further examination as a predictive model for online graduate student…
