“…Their study experience is largely based on their engagement within an online/ virtual environment (Coates, 2008;Moore & Kearsley, 1996). Although many academic challenges faced by distance students mirror those of on-campus students, distance students are likely to experience heightened feelings of social and geographical isolation (Dearnley, 2003;Forrester, Motteram, Parkinson, & Slaouti, 2005;Kwon, Han, Bang, & Armstrong, 2010) with frustrations and stress adjusting to online instruction, technology and computer skills (Andrews & Tynan, 2012;Dzakiria, 2008;Goode, 2010;Lee & Choi, 2011). In addition, distance education students may find it challenging when required to post their ideas in online discussion forums.…”

“…Para explicar porqué las herramientas e-learning no han tenido un efecto tan elevado como a priori se les atribuye, varios autores manejan diversas posibilidades. La mayoría de ellos lo enfocan a la importancia de la interacción en el Open Distance Learning (ODL) (Anderson, 2003;Boyle y Wambach, 2001;Dzakiria, 2008). Se defiende que a mayor nivel de interactividad se suponen mayores niveles de rendimiento (Michailidou y Economides, 2003;Cheng et al, 2012;Sun, Chen, Lin y Wang, 2008;Robert, Ginns y Piggot, 2009), si bien existen estudios que contrastan que la mayor interacción no garantiza por sí misma un mayor rendimiento (Sun y Hsu, 2012;Davis y Graff, 2005), debiendo diferenciarse entre interacción e interactividad (Wagner, 1994(Wagner, , 1997.…”

RESUMENEste estudio está encaminado a establecer un modelo para medir el rendimiento del e-learning en educación a distancia de adultos, en el área de economía financiera y contabilidad. Como metodología novedosa se aplica la regresión lineal para el contraste de correlaciones entre las variables del modelo. Se puso en marcha una red de innovación docente para el e-learning, en la que se suministraron diversos materiales en red. La recopilación de datos se ha realizado a través de un sondeo de opinión para evaluar la utilidad de 4 elementos que componen los factores de diseño del modelo e-learning aplicado en la UNED. El contraste de la hipótesis nula mediante análisis por regresión lineal multivariante valida el modelo establecido. Si bien, el análisis logístico-binario y el contraste estadístico del grupo de control ponen de manifiesto que el efecto del e-learning sobre el rendimiento no es tan elevado como cabría esperar.Palabras clave: e-learning en educación a distancia universitaria, rendimiento del e-learning en estudiantes de contabilidad, percepción estudiantil del e-learning, resultados de la enseñanza online, vídeos interactivos en red. ABSTRACTThis paper aims to establish a mathematical model to measure the performance of e-learning in adult distance education in the field of financial economics and accounting. As an innovative methodology, a 'linear regression' approach was applied to contrast correlations between variables in the model. A teacher innovation network was implemented for e-learning using various materials. The compilation of data was carried out by means of an opinion survey to evaluate the usage of the four elements that comprised the design factors of the e-learning

“…Pakistan is one of the developing nations of the world which has started to knock the prospective of ODL at the tertiary level. Tait (2000), Tait and Mills (2002), Dzakiria (2005Dzakiria ( , 2008, Daniel (2010), and Krishnan (2012) point out that research carried out both in developing and developed nations specify that instructional practices are regarded as to be vital to facilitate ODL learners. Rumble (2000) and Daniel (2010) mentioned that the achievement of students in ODL relies upon the instructional practices.…”

Instructional practices are one of the fast-changing factors of teaching and learning in today’s fast technological development era. These are instructional practices which provide opportunity for better learning and effective relevant material to the learners. The purpose of this study was to analyze the students’ perception about instructional practices at post graduate level of Allama Iqbal Open University. This study was descriptive in nature and conducted by using survey with mixed-method approach as well as sequential exploratory design. Focused group discussion (N=12) was conducted during workshop with students’ consent. On the basis of focus group discussion, a questionnaire (26 items) was developed on five-point Likert Scale to find out students’ perceptions. Content validity was checked through experts’ opinion. Sample of N=802 were selected of MPhil and PhD students enrolled at Allama Iqbal Open University in all faculties i.e. Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Education using convenient sampling technique. Survey was conducted to collect the data. Data was analyzed by using statistical techniques of percentage, mean score, t-test, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The findings of the study highlighted the importance of instructional practices for open distance learners. Students’ perception regarding instructional practices was towards agreement (M=4.0). Students of faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities were found more satisfied as compared to the students of other faculties about instructional practices. The study led to the recommendations regarding instructional practices in different contexts and disciplines across all programs and faculties.
