"The objective of this thesis is to understand how students make sense of online learning. I set out to explore questions like: Do students make sense of online courses as meaningful? What factors influence students" sensemaking of online education? A review of the literature revealed that many people avoid online learning because they believe they will perform poorly in this environment. It also found that students who took an online course were often satisfied with their experience despite their initial resistance to this form of learning. What is interesting is that there is very little research about the process students go through to achieve this new acceptance. My own experience as a student was consistent with what I found in the literature which prompted me to explore this topic. To try and understand more about the process leading to acceptance, PR graduate students from Mount Saint Vincent University were interviewed about their experiences with online learning. This qualitative approach allowed students to reflect on their own journey and provided rich interviews for analysis. Weick"s (1995) sensemaking provided a theoretical framework which allowed me to analyse the process students underwent to accept online learning as meaningful and effective. Throughout the students" journey the seven psychosocial sensemaking properties (Weick, 1995, 2005) were evident, some more prominent than others. Participants clearly articulated their sensemaking process as rooted in identity construction. This property was evident in student interviews about their own presence as students, their identities as students as defined through relationships with classmates, and the ways in which they attributed identity to their professors. In discussing their initial resistance to online learning, participants also demonstrated properties of retrospection, plausibility, and the extraction of cues from their environments." -- from abstract.

Jill couldn't help falling for Todd. He was handsome, charming, and they had incredible chemistry, but he had a wife, and they had an arrangement. Learning to live in a poly-amorous relationship was different for everyone involved. But they adjusted. Then entered Dean. Witty, romantic, and entirely available to be Jill's alone, he swept Jill off her feet in a way that would have answered her desires, but now only left her confused.

`I found the book excellent and read every one of the 450 pages.... Many of the chapters reflect the Fielding Institute′s focus on human and organizational behaviour, educational leadership, and organizational management. The book will be particularly appropriate for readers from a corporate, training or business school background, though there is much for academics and online educators at all levels and subject areas to learn from this well crafted book. There are many books and articles about online learning. This is one of the better ones!′ - Robin Mason, Computers and Education Technology-mediated instruction has taken the university and the corporate sector by storm. As more instructors teach online for a dispersed learning community in both academic and business environments, there′s a need for resources that will help them adapt to this new teaching method. Educators who come out of traditional academic institutions tend to use traditional methods when offering courses online (e.g. lectures, textbooks and readings, examinations) rather than attend to small-group processes and principles of what the editors of this volume call "andragogy." This Handbook goes beyond the mechanics of how to create and direct an online learning experience to consider such a new approach to pedagogy in doing so. The editors primary purpose is to clarify the conceptual issues that underlie effective online teaching and to offer practical guidance to educators and corporate trainers who plan to teach in a virtual environment. Their central tenet is: the adoption of computer networks as the teaching vehicle of the future demands a re-examination of our core beliefs about pedagogy and how students learn. The transfer of a classroom curriculum into cyberspace is deceptively simple, but doing so without an appreciation of the nuances and implications of learning online ignores not only the potential of this medium but the inevitable realities of entering it. Rather than fear the challenges that new technology brings to systems of learning, the editors hope to help instructors embrace it by re-thinking how knowledge is acquired and how educational processes may be optimally designed in a new age of teaching and learning. Features/Benefits - Part I provides an overview and includes discussion of the unique structural aspects of the electronic learning environment, pedagogical issues, curriculum design, psychological and group dynamics, and ethical issues. - Part II examines practical issues associated with implementing courses online, both in the traditional university setting and in professionalrporate training environments. - The book draws heavily on personal case examples, many from The Fielding Graduate Institute′s 26+ years of teaching in nontraditional distributed learning environments.
