Reviews
Helps us see how to combine old and new research methodologies to ensure our methods are keeping pace with an increasingly complex higher education environment where the future rests on how well students engage and learn. Diana Oblinger, President Emeritus, EDUCAUSE Explores how the perennial issues of research in higher education are applied to the emerging and rapidly changing world of online and blended learning, ... providing critical insights and thoughtful guidance for the higher education research community. George L. Mehaffy, Vice President for Academic Leadership and Change, American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) As the authors say, 'good research is just plain hard,' but this book makes it a little easier to answer the questions: 'What is working, what is not working, and what will make it better?'. Irvin R. Katz, Director, Cognitive Sciences Research Group, Educational Testing Service What do we know about learning?' This book asks that big question, across every educational modality, and it never shrinks from the subtlety, nuance, rigor, and imagination required of all who ask it. Gardner Campbell, Ph.D., Vice Provost for Learning Innovation and Student Success, Virginia Commonwealth University An informative guide to the future of educational research in online learning. Phillip D. Long, Ph.D., Associate Vice Provost for Learning Sciences, and Deputy Director, Center for Teaching and Learning/Continuing and Innovative Education, The University of Texas at Austin I was amazed by the range of research methods covered in this book as well as the breadth of the theoretical underpinnings for blended and fully online learning.
