Combining Synchronous and Asynchronous Distance Learning for Adult Education: The Greek Army Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major issue in military training is the territorial dispersion of military personnel which enforces officers to be gathered in training camps to attend the lessons. This is extremely costly, as the learners have to move to the training camp and leave their position. The School of Research and Informatics for Officers of the Greek Army in cooperation with the academic community in Greece implemented a pilot computer assisted distance learning programme in Operational Business Management. The present paper describes the results, the experience acquired during the implementation and an overall assessment of the pilot program.

An Integrated Architecture for Synchronous and Asynchronous Distance Learning
Distance learning offers the potentiality of continuing education by eliminating temporal and geographical barriers. Despite extensive research and experimentation efforts in developing synchronous and asynchronous distance learning systems, integration of the concerned systems has not been realized. In this paper we identify the requirements of integrating a synchronous distance learning platf...

Early identification of relevant factors that influence students' experiences is vitally important to the educational process since they play an important role in learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine underlying constructs that predict high school students’ subjective experience and quality expectations during asynchronous and synchronous distance education activities, in...
متن کاملSynchronous and Asynchronous Multimedia and Iranian EFL Learners’ Learning of Collocations
The use of effective multimedia instructions such as mobiles, computers, and the internet in language learning has turned out to be useful since the last decades. The impact of multimedia and synchronous approaches of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' learning of language skills and components has been studied to some extent. However, th...
متن کاملCombining Synchronous and Asynchronous Elearning Tools in Distance Education – Experiences from a Course for Developing Countries
Distance learning requires a specific effort of addressing the students: Students motivation has to be kept up high throughout the course via interesting and diversified teaching material and methods. Experiences from distance courses held in asynchronous teaching mode showed that this is difficult over a longer period. Adding live online interaction using a virtual classroom system for synchro...
متن کاملSurface and deep learning processes in distance education: Synchronous versus asynchronous systems
Distance learning is different from regular learning in the classroom. One of the main factors which influence the effectiveness of the learning process is the interaction that exists between the teacher and the student. Our research indicates that different interactions have different effects. There are two methods used for implementing distance learning systems, i.e. synchronous and asynchron...
