Online Learning

The purpose of this course is to examine the growing body of theory and research related to online learning. The students will learn to distinguish between a wide variety of theoretical positions such as the connectivist theory, the view of learning developed specifically to describe networked learning, and the Community of Inquiry approach. Topics will include, but are not limited to, meta-analytic studies of online learning as well as earlier meta-analyses of distance learning, with the highest priority to be given to recent research, especially research focused on adult learning.
