The American
Journal of Distance Education
The American Journal of
Distance Education will be publishing a special issue
carrying papers from ICICTE 2011. This publication is the
internationally recognized journal of research and scholarship
in the field of American distance education. Research in
distance education explores topics central to teaching-learning
relationships where the actors are geographically separated and
communication takes place through technologies such as audio and
video broadcasts, teleconferences and recordings, printed study
guides, and multimedia systems. In the 21st century, the
dominant communications technology in distance education is the
Internet, and most articles in AJDE now focus on online
learning, e-learning, distributed learning, asynchronous
learning, blended learning, and social networks.
With increasing numbers of
individuals and institutions becoming involved in these various
forms of distance education, The American Journal of
Distance Education offers a repository of 25 years of
research-based knowledge about all aspects of the pedagogy of
the field as well as reports of the latest findings in such
areas as:
building and sustaining effective
delivery systems
course design and application of
instructional design theories
facilitating interaction between
students and with instructors
factors influencing student
achievement and satisfaction
the changing roles of faculty and
changes in institutional culture
administrative and policy issues
including cost-effectiveness and copyright
Each issue contains an interview
with a leading figure in the field, one or more book reviews, or
both.
