[DG: Open Forum] New Distance Education Research Centre

[Alan Wylie]

Hello  colleagues,

I thought the Sakai community may be interested in this, new Distance Education Research Centre that has been established in Australia.

DE Hub: Innovation in Distance Education is an Australian based institute for research into best practices in distance education. As part of DE Hub's open practice stance it has a presence on WikiEducator (http://wikieducator.org/DEHub), Delicious (http://delicious.com/dehub) and dedicated DE Hub web site (www.dehub.edu.au<http://www.dehub.edu.au>). The WikiEducator site provides descriptions of the DE Hub's research interests and links to freely available research publications from distance education publications and web sites. We invite you to participate in the forums and contribute to the site with relevant links that distance education researchers will find useful.

This month we are kicking off an Open Forum in the Theories and Models (http://wikieducator.org/Talk:DEHub/Research_Themes/Theories_and_models) research priority. This Open Forum focuses on an article by Lisa M. Lane titled Insidious pedagogy: How course management systems affect teaching (http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2530/2303).

To contribute you will need to create an account with WikiEducator. At the Web site click on the "log in/create an account" at the top right hand corner of the site and follow the prompts. You will be asked to provide a username, password and real email address plus you real name. This will enable you to create a Profile on WikiEducator.

All of us at DE Hub look forward to your comments and collaboration.

Regards,
