This paper looks at factors affecting the success of asynchronous online learning through an investigation of relationships between student perceptions and course design factors in one of the largest asynchronous learning networks in the country....

The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a coding scheme for analyzing an online discussion for social presence indicators and levels of learning engagement involved in the discussion. Specifically, the coding scheme for affective...

This paper draws from both an examination of the formal characteristics of online environments and the authors' experiences offering educational technology courses within such environments to discuss the potential of asynchronous distance education...

Research has demonstrated that social presence not only affects outcomes but also student, and possibly instructor, satisfaction with a course (Moore, Masterson, Christophel, and Shea, 1996). Teacher immediacy behaviors and the presence of others...

Diffusion and adoption of educational technology into schools around the country remains a critical issue. If technology is to be for instruction, in-service training and curriculum activities must be developed for teachers. This study uses the...

This paper discusses navigation strategies affecting the interactivity of a graduate level course's asynchronous online discussion with a focus on the development of a learning community and knowledge building. This qualitative analysis reports on...

This paper will describe the Online Learning Forum (OLF), a k-12 professional development program. This RPInteractive professional development model provides teachers with the opportunity to learn new technologies, work collaboratively, communicate...

This presentation will describe a qualitative study investigating the CATIE model of situated professional development for technology integration in schools. We call the CATIE model "situated" because it places educational technology experts in...

This panel will explore issues of learning through online discussion. It will ask the questions "Can students learn from online discussions, and if so under what conditions?" and "What might count as evidence of learning through online discussion?

This presentation will report on the Technology Integration Project's work to date documenting the use of technology in middle school English language arts classrooms. The purpose of this ongoing national study is to explore the ways in ...

Palm Education Pioneers: Examining the Potential of the Handheld Computer is a CD-ROM produced by the Research Center for Educational Technology at Kent State University in Ohio. Discover the value of this tool that highlights three veteran...

This paper reviews the literature on the learning effectiveness of asynchronous online environments. It attempts to look beyond the commonly accepted findings of no significant differences in learning outcomes between online and traditional courses ...

This article explores the theoretical basis for a mentoring model of professional development concerned with the integration of computing technologies into classroom teaching and learning. It describes seven factors that affect professional...

This paper describes the development and exploration of a model for professional development concerned with the integration of computing technologies into classroom teaching and learning. Grounded in situative theories of knowledge and learning, the ...

This paper explores the notion that the desired outcome of current technology initiatives is technology integration across the curriculum. It argues that technology integration across the curriculum can best be understood in terms of an expanded...

This paper reviews the design, implementation, and testing of Project Links' WWW- based modules developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to support the integration of mathematics, science and engineering concepts in undergraduate...

The educational community is finding itself on the edge of a new era, online learning. Online learning has been shown to be more cost-effective and convenient than traditional educational environments as well as providing opportunity for more...

This paper describes a case study that examined how technology was integrated to a situated collaborative learning activity in a ubiquitous computing classroom. The students' task was to produce an animated movie to demonstrate Newton's Laws of...

This mixed methods study explores how social presence is developed in online course discussions. The study combines quantitative analyses of survey results from students enrolled in four online graduate courses, and qualitative comparisons of...

This paper describes an ongoing situated professional development program in which teachers bring their intact classes for an extended stay in a ubiquitous computing environment equipped with a variety of state-of-the-art computing devices. The...
