This book is about the past and future of research on the
effectiveness of learning networks (also known as "e-learning" or
"online learning" or "Web-based learning"). Learning networks are
groups of people using computer technology, communicating and
collaborating online to build knowledge together. Over the past
decade there has been an explosion not only of online courses, but
also of studies on them. In Learning Together Online: Research on
Asynchronous Learning Networks, leading researchers in the field
use an integrated theoretical framework, which they call "Online
Interaction Learning Theory," to organize what past research shows
and where future research is going. It models the variables and
processes that are important in determining the relative
effectiveness of online learners working to reach a deeper level of
understanding by interacting with each other and with the texts
under investigation. Now that there have been hundreds of studies
and thousands of courses offered online, what does the empirical
evidence show? This book addresses the question directly by
presenting what is known from research results about how to design
and teach courses effectively online, ranging from the
organizational context and characteristics of students to learning
theories and research design methods. It also provides a research
agenda for the next decade. Learning Together Online: Research on
Asynchronous Learning Networks is both a textbook for graduate
students and a professional reference for faculty teaching online,
researchers conducting studies, and graduate students taking
courses about learning technologies who need to know the state of
the art of research in the area of online learning.
