At present I am currently finishing my dissertation study, which was a case study that looked at how a virtual high school was being implemented in one rural school. As a follow-up to that, I have copied below a section of a proposal that I wrote for a one year post-doctoral fellowship to continue research with this [...]
A colleague of mine, Derek Wenmoth, has posted an entry to his blog (see Derek’s Blog) which I think is particularly interesting. The entry, Tackling online learning in our secondary schools, talks about some thngs going on down in New Zealand in K-12 online learning and then proceeds to ask a long series of questions [...]
This study was actually a follow-up to a study that I had conducted a couple of years ago that only considered students in the Advanced Placement program in Newfoundland and Labrador. This particular study is also being used as a foundation for my dissertation study, as my dissertation is looking at what online learning looks [...]
This study was a follow-up to the teachers and designers perceptions of web-based design study that had been conducted the previous year (see Teachers and Designers Perceptions of Web-Based Design). Like the previous study, this is one that I have yet to publish on – although I do have a fairly good findings section created [...]
This was the first study that I conducted after joining the online learning research group that Dr. Hill had established here at the University of Georgia – yes, this is the same group that is sponsoring this BlogTrack. The actual research projet was one that had been originally conducted by Liyan and Ernise Singleton (Higher Education) [...]
This was the first study that I conducted as a doctoral student at the University of Georgia. It started as a project that I did for my qualitative research courses, that I would expand upon later – see one of the future entries on Student Perceptions of Web-Based Design.
The purpose of this study is to [...]
Okay, I know that I’m a little behind on these, and it is appropriate that this is the one where the break occurred – as the research study described in this entry is the only one that I haven’t done a lot with (basically I have only presented this at a single conference, with no [...]
This is the second study that I conducted with the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation. It began during the first year of operation while I was the Web-Based Initiatives Facilitator for the Vista School District (i.e., I was responsible for the introduction of the CDLI in my school district). In the first year there [...]
This is the first of seven different research studies that I have conducted with the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation. Over the next four weeks (basically for the month of June), I’ll be posted two entries a week that describe these seven studies. Your thoughts and ideas about what I have done, what I [...]
Given that one of the aspects of this Blogtrack is that it should be research based, that is a look at the research in online learning from each of our individual perspectives, I thought I should begin a series of entries over the next few weeks about some of the research that I have done [...]
