Electronic narratives are becoming prevalent in education as one way to teach students about narrative structure, content, and even technology (Lehrer, Erickson & Connel, 1994; Downes & Fatouros, 1995; Eagleton, 1999; Leu & Kinzer, 2000; Eagleton &...

We use representations and abstractions in every aspect of our lives. Designing and choosing the right representation is very important as Norman (1993) states "because [representations] allow us to work with events and things absent in space and...

Recent research has evidenced important possibilities and potentials in teaching preservice educators through a cohort model. This evidence has gone hand-in-hand with the tremendous increase in teacher preparation colleges and schools that have...

There has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in narrative in many fields and disciplines. Behind this concept of narrative is the idea that the story form is a fundamental structure of mind and an activity we humans use to make meaning of...

This article discusses the application of an instrument capable of predicting student success and failure within virtual high school classrooms to a sample of graduate students enrolled in online education classes at a tier I research university.

While a valid instrument for analysis of classroom environment exists for high school students, a valid and reliable instrument for use with post-secondary distance education populations has yet to be developed. This paper discusses the outcomes of...
