Description

This book explores the past and future of research on learning networks, also known as "e-learning" or online learning. Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of studies on online courses, and this book presents an integrated theoretical framework to organize what is known about their effectiveness.

Leading researchers in the field use "Online Interaction Learning Theory" to model the variables and processes that determine the relative effectiveness of online learners working together. The book addresses the question of how to design and teach courses effectively online, covering topics such as organizational context, student characteristics, learning theories, and research design methods.

With hundreds of studies and thousands of online courses under its belt, this book provides a comprehensive overview of what is known about online learning, including a research agenda for the next decade. It serves as both a textbook for graduate students and a professional reference for faculty teaching online, researchers conducting studies, and those taking courses about learning technologies.
