Слайд 9Towards a research agenda
Why is a research agenda important?
to embedd research

activities in a holistic structure
to agree on gaps and priority research areas
to support cooperations
to communicate a clear research profile

Слайд 10Quantify prior research

Слайд 12Part I: Research based view of DE research
Research into academic journals

to explore the scientific network of online distance education (ODE)
Development of a validated structure of research areas for ODE
Review of research between 2000 and 2011

➔ Basic research to prepare a research agenda

Слайд 13Journals as Scientific Knowledge Networks
Journals as important carriers of knowledge in

a discipline
Research builds upon and refers to previous research
Previous research is acknowledged by citations
Social Network Analysis (SNA): The nodes are journals and the ties in the network are citations.
The journal network reveals relationships and patterns of scientific information exchange, the "intellectual structure" of a discipline (Liu, 2007).

Слайд 14Distance Education Journals
What are the major journals in the field and

how do the journals relate to each other in a network of giving and receiving citations?
What are the most central and prestigious journals in the network?

Слайд 15Selected Journals for SNA

Слайд 22Research Areas: Delphi Study
Expert panel: 25 individuals from 11 countries (average

of 27 years of professional experience in distance education)
1. round: Experts were asked to list 10 important research areas
2. round: Experts were asked to rate research areas on a scale of importance; What are the most neglected research areas?

Слайд 23Classification of Research Areas
Three broad research perspectives or levels with 15

research areas:

Macro level: Distance education systems and theories → global system level: 5 research areas
Meso level: Management, organisation and technology → institutional level: 7 research areas
Micro level: Teaching and learning in distance education → individual level: 3 research areas


Слайд 24Classification of Research Areas

Слайд 25Publication and Authorship Patterns
What are the topics with the highest and

lowest number of papers?
What are the most neglected research areas?
Who are the leading authors and where do they come from?

Слайд 26Literature Review

Слайд 34Internationalisation, social justice and open, distance and e-learning: what is to

be done?

Access, equity and ethics: the democratization of access to distance education afforded by new media … to those who have limited resources and poor infrastructure. Issues that refer to the (sustainable) provision of distance education

Is online education inherently a social justice agenda?
What is the impact of distance education (e.g. via mobile learning) on narrowing (or broadening) the digital divide and what is the role of ICT (information and communication technologies) and/or OER (open educational resources) in terms of access to education?

Jennifer O'Rourke

Alan Tait

Слайд 35Globalization and cross-cultural aspects
aspects that refer to the

global external environment and drivers, the development of the global distance education market, teaching and learning in mediated and multi-cultural environments and the implications for professional development and curriculum development.

Charlotte Nirmalani (Lani) Gunawardena,

Слайд 36Distance teaching systems and institutions:
Distance education delivery systems, the role

of institutional partnerships in developing transnational programmes and the impact of ICT on the convergence of conventional education and distance education institutions (hybrid or mixed-mode).

Sarah Guri-Rosenblit,

Слайд 37Theories and models
Theoretical frameworks for and foundations of distance education,

e.g. the theoretical basis of instructional models, knowledge construction, interaction between learners and the impact of social constructivism, connectivism and new learning theories on distance education practice.

Terry Evans

Margaret
Haughey

Слайд 38Research methods in distance education and knowledge transfer
Methodological considerations, the impact

of distance education research and writing on practice and the role of professional associations and higher education institutions in improving practice. Literature reviews and works on the history of distance education are also subsumed within this area.

Слайд 50Student Dropout
Ormond Simpson
Alan Woodley
The conversation exposes us to the brutal

facts (hidden as they often are by reluctant institutions), reasons for the regrettable complacency of all actors - including students themselves. The chapter ends with suggestions for interventions – some of which have been tried, but none of which has resulted in the completion rates commonly achieved with campus based teaching and learning
