Conducting Research in Online and Blended Learning Environments cover

Conducting Research in Online and Blended Learning Environments examines various perspectives, issues, and methods for conducting research in online and blended learning environments. The book provides in-depth examinations of the perspectives and issues that anyone considering research in online or blended learning will find insightful as they plan their own inquiries. Grounded in educational research theory, this is invaluable to both the serious researcher as well as the occasional evaluator.

Conducting Research in Online and Blended Learning Environments provides comprehensive, useful information on research paradigms, methodologies, and methods that should be considered in designing and conducting studies in this area. Examples of the most respected research in the field enhance each chapter’s presentation.

"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."

"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
