DE and Technology
•DE offers many advantages including accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and opportunity for learning anytime anywhere (Moore & Kearsley, 2005).
•Previously, DE was limited to correspondence education
•With the advent of technology, DE has reached new heights and with different and innovative modes of delivery including blended learning

Research and DE
•Research has supported the fact that DE can be as effective as traditional in-class teaching
•Numerous research studies and meta-analyses

Results• Total number of studies: K = 232• Inclusive dates 1985-2002• 599 effect sizes of all dependent
variables• Overall achievement, g+ ≈ 0.00 and
heterogeneous

Mean and Variability
![Page 9: Technology in the 21 st Century Quick and fast advent of technology tools, innovations, and progression Digital and online technology is impacting all](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2f5503460f94c48f6a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Results
• Split between synchronous and asynchronous DE• Synchronous achievement, g+ ≈ –0.05,
heterogeneous• Asynchronous achievement, g+ ≈ +0.10,
heterogeneous• Meta-regression revealed, after
accounting for study quality (up to 50% of variance), pedagogy accounted for more variation than media use

DE and Interactivity• Learner-centered environments are advocated by
many educators and researchers in the 21st century (APA, 1997; Laurillard, 2002; McCombs, 2000)
• Within DE, three main interactions are advocated as important for enhancing the learning experience and process (Moore, 1989)▫Learner-Instructor▫Learner-Learner▫Learner-Content

Learner-Instructor Interaction
•Refers mainly to the communication between the learner and the instructor
![Page 12: Technology in the 21 st Century Quick and fast advent of technology tools, innovations, and progression Digital and online technology is impacting all](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2f5503460f94c48f6a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Learner-Learner Interaction
•Refers to various forms of interaction among learners including general communication or more focused group work
![Page 13: Technology in the 21 st Century Quick and fast advent of technology tools, innovations, and progression Digital and online technology is impacting all](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2f5503460f94c48f6a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Bernard et al. 2009
Question: What instructional approaches, technology applications, etc. make a difference in learner success* when DE studies are compared to DE studies?
Measures: Achievement, Attitudes and Retention
![Page 15: Technology in the 21 st Century Quick and fast advent of technology tools, innovations, and progression Digital and online technology is impacting all](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2f5503460f94c48f6a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Results• Sorted 74 achievement and 44 attitude effects into
LL, LT and LC categories
• The presence of any type of interaction enhances achievement outcomes (Mean ES=0.38)
• Increasing cognitive engagement improves achievement
• This is especially true for Learner-content interaction and any combination that involves Learner-content interaction
