January’s Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks features findings contributed by faculty researchers at six top institutions and solutions from Sloan-C’s collection of effective practices.

Newburyport, MA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

As online education becomes pervasive, emerging research guides rapidly developing practice in online teaching and learning. The new issue of the Sloan Consortium’s (Sloan-C’s) Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, Volume 16.1, focuses on factors that increase student and faculty success online. Contributors to the January issue include faculty researchers from Cabrini College, Drexel University, the Pennsylvania State University, Rowan University, Texas Tech University, the University of Memphis and hundreds of institutions that have contributed to Sloan-C’s collection of effective practices.

Highlights from the January Issue of JALN

Positive perceptions of learning online are essential to student success, thus researchers seek evidence for practices that enhance perceptions. Katrina Meyers and Stephanie Jones examine student perspectives in "Graduate Students Rate Institutional Websites: The Must Have, Nice to Have, and Delighted to Have Services." In this study, students reveal what services they really want and use; what they want is not always what websites typically provide.

"Thought-leaders in Asynchronous Learning Environments," by Jim Waters, details the factors that affect how students view each other and themselves as leaders, via analysis of their contributions to online discussions. His insights explain how thought-leaders influence classmates and guide continuous course improvement.

Instructors also can motivate more proactive learning, according to Scott Warnock, Kenneth Bingham, Dan Driscoll, Jennifer Fromal, and Nicholas Rouse, whose “Early Participation in Asynchronous Writing Environments and Course Success,” shows that posting early in an online course is a “key behavior that allows students to be more engaged in the course material with a concomitant rise in their performance.”

"Reading Between the Lines of Online Course Evaluations: Predictable Actions that Improve Student Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness and Course Value," by Stephanie Jones, identifies specific factors that improve student perceptions of teaching effectiveness and value.

Evidence-based practice is also evolving for faculty and for institutions. Authors Paula Mae Bigatel, Lawrence C. Ragan, Shannon Kennan, Janet May, and Brian F. Redmond present phase one of a multi-phase research project: "The Identification of Competencies for Online Teaching Success" compares and evaluates factors for effective faculty professional development.

In a large scale study with data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey, “Enrollment in Distance Education Classes in 2008 is Associated with Fewer Enrollment Gaps Among Independent Undergraduate Students in the US," Manuel Cosmas Pontes and Nancy Marie Hurley Pontes confirm that “enrollment in distance education classes in 2008 is significantly related to a decreased likelihood of an enrollment gap among independent students but not among dependent students.” Institutions can do more to help the growing population of independent students succeed when they acknowledge the time- and place-restrictions that lead students to choose online education.

Janet C. Moore's "Synthesis of Sloan-C Effective Practices" provides solutions contributed by hundreds of institutions that are advancing education. The synthesis links directly to replicable practices that are based on Sloan-C's Five Pillars of Quality: learning effectiveness, scale, access, faculty satisfaction, and student satisfaction

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Online education and career information website SuperScholar published its first annual "Smart Choice" ranking of the top 25 online colleges and universities for undergraduate degrees for 2012. The ranking can be found at http://www.superscholar.org/best-online-colleges/.

SuperScholar editors developed the "Smart Choice" ranking as a tool to help prospective students make a smart choice about where to invest in their education. The ranking helps fill a void in quality, unbiased rankings and reviews of online colleges and universities that offer distance learning. In order to be considered for inclusion in the ranking an institution had to be a regionally accredited college or university listed in the National Center for Education Statistics database and offer online bachelor degree programs in multiple disciplines (specialty schools focused on a narrow range of subjects were excluded). Schools that passed this initial screening process were then ranked by editors based on each school's perceived market credibility and prestige, academic quality, support for students, and student satisfaction.

Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts earned the honor of the top "Smart Choice" university for an online degree. Other ranked schools include (in alphabetical order):

Arizona State University (ASU Online) Colorado Christian University Colorado State University Global Campus Drexel University Dusquesne University Immaculata University Kansas State University LeTourneau University Oregon State University eCampus Ottawa University Penn State World Campus Portland State University Regis University Robert Morris University Saint Leo University Southern New Hampshire University University of Cincinnati University of Illinois at Chicago University of Massachusetts (UMassOnline) University of Minnesota-Crookston University of the Incarnate Word Upper Iowa University Washington State University Western Governors University

SuperScholar.org is a college and career website offering inspiring ideas and useful career advice for lifelong learners and connecting them to quality educational opportunities to further their educational and career goals. The editors of SuperScholar understand that all college rankings have their limitations and recommends that their rankings be used a general guide and not a final determining factor in choosing a school.
