Towards Maximising Learning through Online Environments.
Quinn, Petrina
Australian Journal of Adult Learning, v40 n1 p34-48 Apr 2000
An electronic survey of 200 distance education students and data from phone calls to the course coordinator found that online environments enhanced knowledge acquisition, confidence in subject and technology use, and communication skills. Conditions that maximize learning included practical content of online discussions, supportive environment on and offline, and increased confidence from involvement over time. (SK)
