Learners' Perspectives About Uses Of Synchronous And Asynchronous Conferencing Systems Within An Online Graduate Course: Interpretations Through An Activity System, Deborah Lapointe Oct 2008

Learners' Perspectives About Uses Of Synchronous And Asynchronous Conferencing Systems Within An Online Graduate Course: Interpretations Through An Activity System, Deborah Lapointe

Education Faculty Publications

Synchronous voice-enabled communication is an established communication technology that is becoming increasingly available in learning management systems. Instructors can implement live voice chats to create engaging learning environments. While research has been reported using synchronous text-based chat, little is known about the experiences distance education learners in graduate study programs have using synchronous voice communication. This article presents findings from a qualitative research project designed to explore graduate students perceptions about the effective use of both synchronous and asynchronous communication within a graduate course offered through a WebCT online environment supplemented by Groove. A constructivist theoretical perspective and grounded theory …

Attachment And Bonding: Correlations Between Relationship And Anxiety Among Adult College Students, Ellen Witter Armbruster

Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs

This study investigated the relationships between adult attachment style, memories of early bonding experiences, and five different types of anxiety. The participants were 201 undergraduate psychology students, whose attachment styles, early bonding memories, and tendency toward the five anxiety types were measured through the use of self-report instruments. Analyses were performed to address the three research questions: 1) What is the relationship between attachment style and quality of early interactions with caregivers?; 2) What is the relationship between tendency toward specific types of anxiety and attachment style?; and 3) What is the relationship between tendency toward specific types of anxiety …

Social And Cultural Diversity In Distance Education, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena, Deborah Lapointe Jan 2008

Social And Cultural Diversity In Distance Education, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena, Deborah Lapointe

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

With the expansion of global telecommunication networks and the worldwide demand for higher education, distance education has the potential to reach out internationally to enhance learning for diverse learners and increase intercultural awareness and communication. By definition, distance education is borderless (Latchem, 2005), although differences in sociocultural contexts, values and expectations of diverse educational systems and learners may prove to be its greatest challenge (Hanna, 2000). While distance education programs proclaim an international focus with international content and learners, instructional design and methods frequently carry Eurocentric Western bias. Distance educators need to be sensitive to social, cultural and educational differences, …

E-Mentoring Strategies For Cross-Cultural Learning And Community Building, Deborah Lapointe, Carol Richmond, Jennifer Linder-Vanberschot, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena, Kerrin Barret, Marlie Saligumba Cardiff, Jason Skinner Jan 2008

E-Mentoring Strategies For Cross-Cultural Learning And Community Building, Deborah Lapointe, Carol Richmond, Jennifer Linder-Vanberschot, Charlotte Nirmalani Gunawardena, Kerrin Barret, Marlie Saligumba Cardiff, Jason Skinner

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper builds on mentoring practices by describing the strategies and results of cross-cultural group e-mentoring in an inquiry-based online course activity that supported Sri-Lankan faculty as online learners or protégés and higher-education students in their quest for knowledge and community. It focuses on the online e-mentoring experience of eight e-mentors in the United States (master's and doctoral students at the University of New Mexico) who engaged in a three-week-long, cross-cultural problem-solving learning activity using Moodle.
