Part 1:

In understanding student success in distance education, we as a field

need to have a consistent understanding of student success across

programs and institutions, including identifying shared desired outcomes.

In considering this need, what are the research questionsthat will assist us in identifying key factors impacting these shared

desired outcomes to best enhance the understanding of distance

education across institutions and populations?

Potential Research Questions:

Discussion Notes (everyone can contribute):

Part 2:

In consideration of the research questions proposed in enhancing our

understanding of the key factors, what variables should be

included in the framework of inquiry to help us answer these questions

surrounding distance education and technological advancements?

Potential Variables:

Discussion Notes (everyone can contribute):

Next steps

Formulate measures

Develop methods and

instrumentation
