The research question explored in both studies was: What is the meaning of “quality” in an online/blended course to administrators, faculty, and students? Survey data from the three constituents in both contexts were obtained. Qualitative data analysis revealed the top 7-8 quality features of each context as ranked by number of references. The results revealed similarities and differences in the rankings of the quality features between constituents and between contexts. Similarities suggested that different constituents had different priorities with regards to quality features while differences appeared to be based on where each institution was on their distance education trajectory. These findings should be considered and reflected on in online course design, teaching strategies, and student support.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Distance Educ.

The learning environments used in this course usually generates a great deal of data because of the large number of students and the various tasks involving their interaction. In order to facilitate the analysis of the data, the authors researched to identify how interaction and visualization techniques integrated with data mining algorithms can assist teachers in predicting students' performance in learning environments. The main goal of this work is to present the results of such research and the visual analysis approach that the authors developed in this context. This approach allows data gathering on the students' interactions and provides tools to investigate and predict pass/fail rates in the courses that are being analyzed. Our main contributions are: the visualization of the resources and their use by students; the possibility of making an individual analysis of students through interactive visualizations; and the ability to compare subjects in terms of students' performance.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Building trust among team members has become a necessary step for a successful collaboration experience. The purpose of the article was to understand students' learning and teamwork experiences and further to investigate the relationships of learner-centered instructions, team trust, and social presence in an online learning community. Also, this article adds to the research on the role of social presence in promoting cognitive and affective trust. The results indicated there were positive correlations between learner-centered instructions and trust, between learner-centered instructions and social presence, and between trust and social presence. The study could provide suggestions for instructors teaching online courses for the implementation of learner-centered instructions and the importance of creating a social presence and building trust for students in a collaborative online learning environment.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The research was carried out with 36 students attending a state university in Turkey. In this study, a mixed method was used, which includes both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. For the quantitative data, the study was conducted in accordance with the pre-test and post-test-based two group quasi-experimental model. For the qualitative data, the descriptive analysis technique was used. The independent sample t-test and paired simple t-test were employed in the analysis phase. According to the findings, mobile learning positively affected students' academic achievement on the DBMS course, in that the students supported by mobile learning were more successful than students supported only by face-to-face training method. Finally, it is seen that the students have emphasized themes of motivation, 1-1 access, and an interest in terms of the effect of m-learning approach on academic success.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The focus of discussion in any analysis of learning behaviors is often on discovering the relationships between learning behavior and learning performance. However, little attention has been paid to investigating and analyzing learning patterns or rules among learning style of index (LSI), cognitive style of index (CSI), and the logs of digital textbooks. In this study, the authors proposed a method to analyze learning patterns or rules of reading digital textbooks. The analysis method used association analysis with the Apriori algorithm. The analysis was conducted using logs of digital textbooks and questionnaires to investigate students' learning and cognitive styles. From the detected meaningful association rules, this study found three student types: poorly motivated, efficient, and diligent.

Discourse analysis was applied using two coding schemes to measure the critical thinking apparent in the students' online discussions and evaluate the socio-cognitive aspects of group interactions.

In a study, a basic biology lab course app was developed using AR technology. The students used this app to prepare for a basic biology lab course, and carry on self-learning without the help of instructors. The results showed that by integrating AR technology into the instruction, the students took on a more positive autonomous learning attitude; they were able to gain a better grasp of the basic biology lab knowledge through the interactive operation as well as cooperative learning. In addition, the students were found to have learned the importance of scientific knowledge with this interactive technology. The basic biology lab course app developed in the study offered the benefits of autonomous learning, situational simulation and interactive experience.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Knowledge acquisition, which is an approach for helping people represent and organize domain knowledge, has been recognized as a potential way of guiding teachers to develop real-world context-related learning contents. However, previous studies failed to address the issue that the learning contents provided by multiple experts or teachers might be redundant or inconsistent; moreover, it is difficult to use the traditional knowledge acquisition method to fully describe the complex real-world contexts and the learning contents. Therefore, in this article, a multi-expert knowledge integration system with an enhanced knowledge representation approach and Delphi method has been developed. From the experimental results, it is found that the teachers involved had a high degree of acceptance of the system. They believe that it can unify the knowledge of many teachers.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Distance Educ.

A particularly important attribute of a foreign language learner is their native language background as it defines their known language knowledge. Native language identification serves two purposes: to classify a learners' unknown native language; and to identify characteristic features of native language groups that can be analyzed to generate tailored feedback. Fundamentally, this problem can be thought of as the process of identifying characteristic features that represent the application of a learner's native language knowledge in the use of the language that they are learning. In this article, the authors approach the problem of identifying characteristic differences and the classification of native languages from the perspective of 15 automatically predicted writing errors by online language learners.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The case study method was employed for this study. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Distance education software and recorded virtual course videos were analyzed and observations were made. The participants comprised eight students enrolled in formal education courses and who also took distance education courses during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years, two instructors who were giving lectures through distance education and an instructor promoted in the students' education program. Findings indicated that the participants were aware of the time and space advantages of distance education but they do not use the system because they are not given sufficient information and they do not know how to use it. Findings also showed that virtual courses were almost never watched, and the most important factor related to this lack of use was the lack of interaction with instructors.","PeriodicalId":298910,"journal":{"name":"Int.
