In this presentation I will introduce my thesis, focusing on its methodology. I begin by introducing briefly the research background, then go on to explain the research paradigm which informed and shaped my research design – a multi-site and multi-stage approach that was essentially qualitative-based but also incorporated quantitative elements, i.e. an integration of a survey approach and a collective case study approach. Finally, I discuss some practical issues from the fieldwork such as access, the researcher’s role and ethical considerations that were relevant to my research context and design.

Changing Teaching Practices for Technology: Using the SAMR Model for Technolo...Laurel Hitchcock
Teaching with technology is a key skill for future social work educators. All social work educators, especially those early in their careers, find themselves teaching from syllabi they had no role in developing. Although there are many benefits to the "hand-me-down" syllabus, one of the limitations is that assignments are rarely updated to reflect the realities of the 21st century workplace, which now includes the use of technology to achieve practice outcomes for clients and organizations. The purpose of this workshop is show how to incorporate the use of technology into social work assignments across the curriculum.

AN OVERVIEW OF ONLINE EDUCATION: ATTRACTIVENESS, BENEFITS, CHALLENGES, CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Online education has grown tremendously over the past ten years. The increased accessibility of the internet and the World Wide Web has created vast opportunities for non-traditional education through this medium (Karber, 2003). The explosion of technology has also made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has also provided learners with easy access to course material. This paper reviews literature related to online education. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed. Some concerns and recommendations are further discussed.
In April, 2005, I attended the annual professional conference of the American Counseling Association in Atlanta, Georgia. While setting up our display to promote our masters and doctoral programs in counseling at Sam Houston State University (SHSU), I was approached by a counseling student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was nothing related to counseling; rather, it was, "Do you offer any online courses?" Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I could not help but to notice a number of workshops on web-based learning and/or online education. I subsequently attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were currently discovering the best practices for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.
My responsibilities for the semester included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. Perhaps, the five things that I share at this point will help others who are embarking on online teaching. First, I consulted with my colleagues who are currently teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a semester. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. I understood the importance of learning the technology, knowing the technology, and feeling comfortable with it. Second, I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who are involved in online programs at other universities. These people I will consider as my consultants and support as I begin to design my own online course. Third, I talked with the employees in the division of computer services at SHSU, and I set up biweekly Blackboard training for not only myself, but also for other faculty members of the department. Fourth, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understan.
Online Teaching during Crises and Its Possible Impacts on Higher EducationQingjiang (Q. J.) Yao
Online teaching has been an auxiliary method in higher education for years, and its quality in comparison with traditional face-to-face teaching has been a long-time topic of scholarly examination and debate. This study aims at accessing the extent research about the comparison in qualities of online and face-to-face teachings, their practices in the ongoing pandemic period, and the possible impacts of the large-scale practice of online teaching during this COVID pandemic on higher education in the long run.

VoiceThread as a Way to Create Community Among Online Learners
Peggy Delmas, Leadership and Teacher Education, University of South Alabama
A sense of community has been identified as one of the factors contributing to greater student satisfaction and persistence in online programs (Park & Choi, 2009). VoiceThread is a web-based platform that allows users to upload images, documents, or videos into a slideshow, to add video, audio, or text comments, and also to invite other users to comment on the slideshow. This presentation examines the use of VoiceThread as a way to encourage a sense of community among online learners. Specifically, the presentation will focus on the experiences of graduate students using VoiceThread in blended and fully online courses. Resources will be provided for attendees interested in incorporating VoiceThread into their classes.
Project Briefing: Spring 2008 Task Force Meeting: Moving to MobileMichelle Jacobs
Cell phones and other mobile devices are ubiquitous and offer increasingly robust operating systems, user interfaces, and hardware sophistication. The potential of these devices for accessing the richness of library and information content, services, and applications provided is largely unrealized. This is particularly unfortunate in considering library outreach to undergraduate students. This session will review projects in development in the Undergraduate Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the College Library at the University of California at Los Angeles to explore possibilities for communication, content delivery, and instruction through mobile devices and the principles guiding these projects. Significant time in the session will be devoted to discussion of the opportunities, possibilities, challenges, and issues as libraries work to address this important issue - the move to mobile.

Abstract
Online courses and programs continue to grow in higher education settings. Students are increasingly
demanding online access, and universities and colleges are working to meet the demands. Yet many questions
remain re: the viability and veracity of online learning, particularly from the learner perspective. The purpose of
this study was to gain insights into learners’ perceptions of online learning. Seventy-six (76) graduate students
were surveyed to identify helpful components and perceived challenges based on their online learning experiences.
Results of the study indicated that most learners agreed that course design, learner motivation, time management,
and comfortableness with online technologies impact the success of an online learning experience. Participants
indicated that technical problems, a perceived lack of sense of community, time constraints, and the difficulty in
understanding the objectives of the online courses as challenges. Suggestions for addressing the challenges are
provided.

1. Introduction
What makes a learner successful in an online environment? What creates barriers or challenges?
Answers to these questions, among others, gain increasing importance as Internet technologies become
more readily available and accessible, in formal and informal contexts (Hofmann, 2002). By the year
1997, there were more than 762 institutions in the United States alone that offered courses at a distance

1000 individuals from various states and foreign countries by December 2002 (Santovec, 2003). Some
of the top institutions in the United States (e.g., MIT, Indiana University, Pennsylvania State

In addition to programs and courses, most universities now require access to basic course information
on line (Leonard & Guha, 2001). This includes information such as the syllabus, resource lists, and
office hours for the instructor. At University of Ca.

2. What is distance learning? Distance learning is “a formal education process in which the students and instructor are not in the same place. Thus, instruction may be synchronous or asynchronous, and it may involve communication through the use of video, audio, or computer technologies, or by correspondence” (US Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics).
3. Prevalence of distance learning In the 2006–07 academic year, 66 percent of the 4,160 2-year and 4-year Title IV degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the nation offered college-level distance education courses. In 2006–07, there were approximately 11,200 college-level programs that were designed to be completed totally through distance education; 66 percent of these programs were reported as degree programs and the remaining 34 percent were reported as certificate programs.

Retrieved from http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts
4. The Issue “One aspect of physical place that digital reference currently cannot emulate is the quality of being face to face: transactions conducted via these forms of media lack the richness of a face-to-face conversation. The forms of non-verbal communication that a librarian relies on in the reference transaction – from the user's body language to the librarian's ability to size up a user based on appearance and manner – are lost” (Pomeranz and Marchionini 2007).
5. Implications for Distance Learning What happens when I can’t get here and I want an in-depth research consultation?
6. VOIP Reference Services VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol 3 types: IP Phones, Software VOIP, and Mobile/Integrated VOIP Skype is an example of a software VOIP tool
7. Do VOIP reference services exist? 11 Libraries offer Skype-based reference services The websites featured here include Ohio University, Framingham State University, and Madison Area Technical College
8. Criticism of Skype-based reference services Char Booth, a reference librarian at Ohio University, interviewed several coordinators of Skype-a-librarian services and found (Booth 2010): Users prefer to converse via text chat rather than initiate a voice or video interaction Technical difficulties were regularly reported The service seemed to be highly valued by the few who initiated interactions, who often tended to become repeat Skype users. Usage is nonexistent to modest and depends on steady promotion Participants initially tended to be faculty and international students, but more groups appear to be adopting Skype over time Services can be difficult to staff and integrate with other virtual and in-person reference offerings
9. Scheduled Research Consultations via VOIP Librarians must be innovative when developing reference services for distance students There is a need for more personable, in-depth research services for distance students VOIP research consultations may be one way to meet this need
10. Florida State is blazing the trail More research needs to be done on the effectiveness of VOIP research consultations for distance students If effective, these services may better meet the information-seeking needs of distance students
