This study quantitatively synthesized the empirical research of the gender effects on people's communicative, interactive, affective, and process patterns using computer-mediated communication (CMC). In total, 321 independent effect sizes were...

Although computer-mediated communication (CMC)-its technology, its contents, and usage patterns-is still in the process of rapid change, the use of CMC such as the Internet as a teaching-learning tool is increasing dramatically. However, very few...

The main purpose of this study is to examine the gender and race differences in student beliefs about careers in math and science, their attitudes towards math and science and their confidence in the use of technology. A secondary purpose of this...

In this paper, we examine the myths associated with online learning in the area of K - 12 and higher education. Further, we explore possible strategies to help us move from myth to reality and ultimately to establish a successful online learning...

In this paper, we propose an instructional model based on Cognitive Flexibility Theory (CFT) to meet the challenge of bridging the ®understanding' gap. We also provide a preliminary examination of the model by implementing it into a graduate course. ...

The purpose of this study is to present design recommendations for online learning derived from an experiment that compares at risk adult students using computer-assisted learning with those who did not. Quantitative results as well as qualitative...

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) on adult students with learning disability in fundamental mathematics education. This examination includes comparing the results of adult learners...

In this paper, we explore the process of teaching and learning through the creation of an online community. Particularly, we focus on two approaches -- student facilitation of online forum and varied formats of threaded discussion -- adapted in a...

This study is intended to understand collaborative learning in a context that enables communication by computer text messaging. Particularly, the study seeks to determine the level of collaboration in a classroom that uses computer-mediated...

As technology has undergone dramatic developments, it has drastically changed our society. Schools are increasingly investing in technology and using it in various ways. This change inevitably raises some important questions: Do people accept...
