La obra resulta de utilidad para alumnos y docentes en asignaturas que incluyen los medios y las tecnologías en su currícula. Está destinada especialmente a los estudiantes de las carreras de profesorado y área de formación docente. Incluye conceptos y definiciones básicas que dan el marco conceptual y delimitan el alcance del texto. Además de proveer un recorrido por las tecnologías que se vienen utilizando en las aulas desde hace algún tiempo, señala futuras y potenciales herramientas con impacto pedagógico.

The authors focus on how capacity building in eLearning rendered positive results internally and allowed for the quick and successful horizontal scaling at the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They placed specific emphasis on strategies and tactics implemented by the Gies eLearning team to expand their services to all college faculty and students in making a rapid transition to online teaching. A post-implementation analysis explains the implications to this transition on the organization and changes of practices and policies related to scaling online best practices to residential courses and programs

Data displays such as matrices and networks are often utilized to enhance data analysis and are more commonly seen in quantitative than in qualitative studies. This study reviewed the data displays used by three prestigious qualitative research journals within a period of three years. The findings include the types of displays used in these qualitative journals, the frequency of use, and the purposes for using visual displays as opposed to presenting data in text.

Their work environment becomes not just their working place, but also the labs where they apply new knowledge. The general expectation is that after graduation they will make an impact in their work environment through their job and through interacting with peers and supervisors. This study explored the influence that K-12 teachers had in their work environment as they pursued and graduated from an online Masters program in Education. The study showed the impact that the participants have and how they become agents of change in their immediate workplace.

Identifying the situations that will allow for a right blend of face-to-face contact and uses of online technologies, is something that defies the traditional ways of teaching, classroom management, organization and curriculum planning. Traditional instructional design models need to be changed to create online learning environments (Benson, Johnson, & Kuchinke, 2002), and that transformation has to be a perfect blend of what is best achieved in both formats. As Bates and Poole (2003) point out, Mixed mode courses are perhaps the most interesting and cert...

Se ha instalado una plataforma de código abierto (Moodle) para el desarrollo de cursos piloto utilizando distintas modalidades: como soporte de clases tradicionales, como principal medio para el desarrollo de clases, y como módulos independientes. Las experiencias de la utilización de la plataforma en clases con gran diversidad en términos de la temática del curso, número de alumnos, modalidad del dictado de la clase; han ofrecido un amplio espectro de aplicación. La evaluación de esta plataforma se esta completando con indicadores como confiabilidad, seguridad, costo/beneficio, satisfacción de usuarios, ventajas pedagógicas, y reutilización de material entre otros. Con los resultados de las evaluaciones, tests y diagnósticos, se pretende seguir experimentando con diferen...

Student engagement has proven to be one of the main reasons for student retention and satisfaction in online courses and the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer promised to provide clear structure to identify student engagement. A total of 223 business undergraduate students participated in the online survey adapted from the CoI survey (Garrison et al., The Internet and Higher Education, 2 (2–3), 87–105, 2000 ) with additional demographic variables. Results indicated that teaching presence and cognitive presence of the CoI framework has a significant impact on the course rate of online undergraduate business courses confirmed by the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). A moderation effect of gender on the relationship between age and course rate was also found.

The purpose of this study was to investigate online student experiences with VL focusing on their opinion of usefulness of VL, their satisfaction with them and their perception of learning derived from them. Our findings show that students' satisfaction with VL has a strong relationship with positive overall learning experience and perception of impact of video on learning. Furthermore, VL can enhance a feeling of engagement with content because of learners' control of the media and instructors' presence. The findings also alert us on the importance of careful planning and balanced integration of VL with other course materials. This provides important information on the effectiveness of video‐lectures in college teaching and learning and implications for practice in online course design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Now, considering this flow of virtual students, universities offering distance learning programs have to design orientation programs suited for the students that will take distance courses. This article introduces the issues to be considered in designing an orientation for students in online programs and presents the strategies being used currently in some Internet-based courses. Orientation for online courses serve the same objectives as orientation for college, in the sense that it can facilitate academic and social interactions, increase student involvement, enhance the sense of belonging to a virtual learning community, and help retention.
