Abstract:

Methodological trends are a key to the development of research in open and distance learning as a cognitive field. The purpose of this study was to review the methodological trends in the open and distance learning scholarly communication literature. It is important that research strategies are reviewed often to ensure the production of quality research output in a cognitive discipline. The study adopted qualitative content analysis to a sample of 1,393 articles published in five open and distance learning (ODL) journals from 2009 to 2018. The main findings of the study indicated that qualitat

Abstract:

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) provides an alternative path for higher education, particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to attend university full-time on campus, offering the benefits of flexibility, accessibility, and self-directed learning. With ongoing advancements in technology, ODL is becoming more relevant and expands educational access to a wider range of learners across the world. At the same time, distance learning promotes Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and lifelong learning through the use of technology, often facilitated by Learning Management Systems (LMS). Howev

Since this instruction needs to be implemented immediately, the question arises as to whether students are ready to pursue their studies remotely.

Abstract:

The disruptive innovation of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots is affecting educational dominance, which must be considered by higher educational institutions. Open and Distance Learning (ODL) becomes imperative for the effective and interactive communication between the institutions and learners. Drawbacks of isolation, motivation, insufficient time to study, and delay feedback mechanisms are some of the challenges encountered by ODL learners. The consequences have led to an increase in students’ attrition rate, which is one of the key issues observed by many authors facing ODL institutio

Abstract:

Online distance learning (ODL) has transformed the educational environment and ensured educational continuity during global crises. As ODL becomes a permanent mode of education, continuous research into its effectiveness is imperative. This study investigates the ARCS model as a mediator between student attitudes, learning platforms, and ODL effectiveness, focusing on student experiences and outcomes. Utilizing a quantitative approach, an online survey comprising 31 items across five domains, including the ARCS model, was administered to 123 participants currently or previously engaged in ODL.

Higher education (HE) consists of both conventional and non-conventional methods of learning. Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is a non-conventional system where teachers (often referred to as facilitators) are physically not present. The conduct of practical in engineering and science education using ODL remains a challenge due to inadequate technology and the dispersion of the students, which results in a graduate skills gap in ODL programs. There is a possibility of using a cloud computing set-up, as well as platforms for the creation of simulated virtual practical settings (virtual laborat
