Participants were contacted from student records on file in the Distance Learning Center at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Feedback used during the evaluation was from graduate students from the university that were previously registered for and completed the TBE 52091 course during the Spring 2001 semester and would have firsthand knowledge of their skills both before and after taking the course. The Introduction to Computer course was required as a part of the core curriculum of program.

Distance Learning Is Here to Stay $133.82 Current comparative research literature, is inconclusive in its findings, as to the quality of distance education vs. facetoface methods of delivery. The purpose of the study therefore, was to synthesize the singular results of these comparative studies, and provide a comprehensive answer to the quality question, by adopting a metaanalytic approach. This metaanalysis of 86 effect sizes calculated from experimental and quasiexperimental studies, compared the differences between the academic performance of students enrolled in distance education courses, relative to those enrolled in traditional settings, as demonstrated by their final course grades/scores, within the 1990 2002 period. Of the 86 studies (over 15,000 students), in 2/3rds of the cases, students taking courses by distance education, outperformed their student counterparts in the traditionally instructed ones, with a calculated overall positive medium effect size d+ of 0.37. Academic Institutions, Business Organizations, and Students should further invest resources, training and development, and learning respectively, in this evergrowing method of delivery.

Human Connections in Distance Education $132.24 This qualitative case study explored the role human connections played in a distance learning environment in a small program within a small university in Alaska. It explored how administrators, staff members, and distance educators included (or excluded) human relations in their distance classes and curriculum designs. It employed demography surveys, focus groups, and personal interviews to examine the participants experiences and perceptions and how they constructed successful distance learning environments for their students. The reason for this exploratory case study was to examine factors that contributed to student success in a location where students are often perceived as having low participation and graduation rates in higher education distance learning. The results of the study showed how important a programmatic view is in supporting individuals, programs, and schools who support distance learners.

Levenshtein Distance $95.59 In database record linkage or natural language processing tasks one usually encounters problems when working with data or texts containing noise, typos and other kinds of errors. In this thesis the use of modified Levenshtein edit distances to deal with these problems is investigated. For the task of linking distinct records representing the same entity in a database we used and extended the WEKA API for Machine Learning, obtaining good precision and recall results. For the task of searching and annotating occurrences of specified words in texts written in natural language we implemented an approximate Gazetteer for GATE, the General Architecture for Text Engineering.

Peer Interaction in UniversityLevel Distance Education $101.96 Worldwide, the use of the Internet to deliver instruction has increased exponentially. Course management systems (CMS) are widely used to deliver courses completely at a distance. Implications and recommendations for higher education institutions include promoting best practices, providing functional policies and procedures centered on student learning, and providing faculty training and services to facilitate meaningful learning outcomes. The role of distance education and the specializations of experts in the field is changing. As distance education enrollment and competition increase, stakeholders will be required to have a formal knowledge in the field, and an immense understanding of using the theoretical approaches to administer distance education programs. Practitioners will need to maintain an awareness of the historical significance of distance education. They will need to provide an environment where learning thrives, is driven by pedagogy, and is fueled by innovative instructional technologies.

Transactional Distance and Dialogue $167.28 Theory building is complex and ongoing. Theories need to be constantly tested and the underlying constructs explored. This study, which is in support of Dr. Michael G. Moores theory of transactional distance, is exploratory and descriptive, and focuses on one of the key variables in the theory: dialogue. As discussed by Dr. Moore and Dr. Nicholas C. Burbules, dialogue is a purposeful journey that an individual or group undertakes with others to expand understanding and create new knowledge. Dialogue is not depicted by any one singular event, but the destination hopefully results in aha moments when concepts and constructs around ideas become clear. Through a review of the literature on dialogue in education, this study proposes a conceptual definition of dialogue for online learning environments based on the works of Burbules and Moore, and a classification scheme for dialogue based on the philosophical work of Burbules on dialogue. The study only represents a starting point and provides baseline tools so future studies can explore the affect of dialogue on transactional distance and the other key variables of the theory: structure and autonomy.

Distance $79.66 Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday discussion, distance may refer to a physical length, a period of time, or an estimation based on other criteria. In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance. A metric is a function that behaves according to a specific set of rules, and provides a concrete way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be close to or far away from each other. In most cases, distance from A to B is interchangeable with distance between B and A.
