This paper defines and examines three generations of distance education pedagogy. Unlike earlier  classifications of distance education based on the technology used, this analysis focuses on the  pedagogy that defines the learning experiences encapsulated in the learning design. The three  generations of cognitive-behaviourist, social constructivist, and connectivist pedagogy are  examined, using the familiar community of inquiry model (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) with its focus on social, cognitive, and teaching presences.

Educational media has made a considerable impact on schools, educational institutions and providers of open and distance education. Educational Media International (EMI) is a scholarly journal that publishes research, evaluation, and development studies addressing the issues, successes and challenges faced in the design, development, implementation and evaluation of educational media.

This is the official journal of the IFIP Technical Committee on Education. It covers the complex relationships between information and communication technologies and education. The journal provides perspectives at all levels, from the micro of specific applications or instances of use in classrooms to macro concerns of national policies and major projects; from classes of five year olds to adults in tertiary institutions; from teachers and administrators, to researchers and designers; from institutions to open, distance and lifelong learning.

Founded in 1990, Interactive Learning Environments publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of the design and use of interactive learning environments in the broadest sense, encompassing environments that support individual learners through to environments that support collaboration amongst groups of learners or co-workers.

Log usability tests like a proObserving a usability test seems simple but it's easy to lose focus during a session and record only the dramatic or obvious usability problems. As you watch the test, you should make minute-by-minute observations of the participant's behaviour as single letter codes. Datalogging ensures you note all behaviours, not just the ones that stand out, and provides all you need to quickly create a list of usability issues you can pass to the design team.
