Sime, Julie-Ann; Themelis, Chryssa; Arapoglou, Yiannis; Marantou, Asteria; Theodoridou, Katerina – Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance Learning, 2020
Social exploration is the key to spreading ideas through networks (Pentland, 2014).

Higgins, Andrew – Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance Learning, 2020
The premise of this brief opinion piece is that the fundamental paradigm of education appeared with Plato. It is that there is a co-location in time and space of learners, teachers, and resources. The absence of any of these elements can lead to shortcomings in the meaning of the term "to be educated". Recent events such as COVID-19…

Barbour, Michael; Siko, Jason – Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance Learning, 2019
Historically, primary and secondary distance education in New Zealand has focused on providing opportunities for rural students.
