Abstract

This article presents the findings of a research conducted in the field of asynchronous distance education by means of Internet. The research is focused on the current environment of the Hellenic Open University (HOU) and tries to identify the factors affecting its efficiency. The research contains an analysis of the environment’s current condition of use, based on the statistical data obtained from HOU Laboratory of Educational Material and Methodology; Furthermore, this article contains the answers from the interviews given by 4 tutors who make use of the specific environment and 24 students. The answers to the relevant questions are presented per category, based on the classification made during the study of international bibliography.

Fostering self-regulated learning in a blended environment using group awareness and peer assistance as external scaffolds

Most systems for training self-regulated learning SRL behaviour focus on the provision of a learner-centred environment. Such systems repeat the training process and place learners alone to experience that process iteratively. According to the relevant ...
Learner outcomes in an asynchronous distance education environment

This research investigated student outcomes in a web-based distance learning environment characterized by asynchronous electronic communications between student and teacher. We employed two dominant theories the theory of planned behavior and innovation ...
Using asynchronous discussions to enhance student participation in CS courses

As Computer Science (CS) educators, we are involved in teaching a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses such as database management systems, networking, software development and web development courses. In addition to the traditional classroom ...
