Academic Exchange Quarterly Call for Articles on Online Learning
Focus: The emergence of web-based instructional delivery has expanded the continuum of learning environments and has resulted in an explosion of “online learning” initiatives. These online efforts run the gamut from independent, self-paced instruction to cohort-based, highly interactive and totally asynchronous learning environments. For each of these online delivery methods—and in the “blended” courses that include both campus-based and online components—shifts from previous distance- and campus-based instruction have occurred. These shifts are varied, and they touch upon all areas of a college campus. Of particular note are revisions in the role of the online professor, changes in pedagogy, shifts in the course reconceptualization and course design process, revisions to faculty training and student orientation programs, requisite additions to support services for online faculty and for online students (web-based and face-to-face), and a rethinking of the role of technology and its impact on student participation and course learning outcomes.
