RESEARCH IDEAS
 "An area in need of research and development centers on instructional features of online instruction. Currently there is a rather standards ET of features that characterize online instruction. As Media streaming becomes more feasible and bandwidth problems are solved the opportunities to incorporate features that today are too cumbersome will exist. At that time the power of online instruction can be increased through the design of new features"  Ed Meyen, University of Kansas elm@ukans.edu Jan 19 1999, Tuesday 11:53 CST "There are also opportunities to compare the effectiveness of teaching skills and concepts online to other modes of instruction" Ed Meyen, University of Kansas elm@ukans.edu Jan 19 1999, Tuesday 11:52 CST "Principles of teaching that characterizes traditional instruction can be researched in terms of their effectiveness when incorporated into online instruction. Most such principles can be applied to online instruction" Ed Meyen, University of Kansas elm@ukans.edu Jan 19 1999, Tuesday 11:52 CST "There are opportunities to do research on the development and design of online instruction. This a particularly important area of research as the instructional design of online instruction is in essence a significant part o f teaching online" Ed Meyen, University of Kansas elm@ukans.edu Jan 19 1999, Tuesday 11:51 CST "Comparatively little research as been done on the pedagogy of online instruction. This opens the door for considerable research. Research can be conducted on the preferences of students for navigation strategies, the a mount of flexibility they prefer in completing online instruction, the relationship between rate of completion and knowledge gained, and on features that enhance completion of online coursework" Ed Meyen, University of Kansas elm@ukans.edu Jan 19 1999, Tuesday 11:51 CST "I find that there are research questions that can be enbedded in activities that are instructional for the student and that yield important in formation. For example, I teach a course on the development of online instr uction. On of the activities if engages student in is an analysis of the setting in which they do their course work online. This allowed me to learn the conditions under which the students are working and it also allowed me to offer e suggestions to students who were encountering some problems with their work environment" Ed Meyen, University of Kansas elm@ukans.edu Jan 19 1999, Tuesday 11:51 CST  |
