EDUCAUSE Bulletin – The Evolution Continues: Considerations for the Future of Research in Online and Blended Learning!

Dear Commons Community,

My colleague, Chuck Dziuban from the University of Central Florida, and I just had an article published as an EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) Research Bulletin.  Below is a brief abstract.  The bulletin is available to EDUCAUSE subscribers at:  http://www.educause.edu/library/resources/evolution-continues-considerations-future-research-online-and-blended-learning

Feedback is most welcome!

Abstract

The model of online learning that has evolved over the past 20 years relies on ubiquitous data communications that are owned and operated routinely by all segments of the population. Today, people use laptops, cell phones, and other portable devices daily to stay connected with family, friends, and their studies. Online education has become integral to how instruction is being delivered in colleges and universities. It is no longer a novelty and is becoming fully integrated into all teaching and learning. The purpose of this bulletin is to attempt to predict where the research in online and blended learning is going.

This research bulletin is adapted from chapter 13 in Charles D. Dziuban, Anthony G. Picciano, Charles R. Graham, and Patsy D. Moskal, Conducting Research in Online and Blended Learning Environments: New Pedagogical Frontiers (New York: Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group, 2015).
