Rice, M. (2023). Making Good Experiences in (Online) Education. Journal of Online Learning Research, 9(2) 127-132.

Mary Rice

A a principal theme in this issue of the Journal of Online Learning Research is Experience. Each of the articles focuses on how a group reports on and thinks about experience. For those who participated in the studies that lead to these articles, experiences seemed to be important; and the participants seemed to do their own framing of what makes a so-called good one. For the most part, each of these articles reports on good experiences learning online, but of course, there is always room for improvement.

Hrastinski, S., Akerfeldt, A. & Bergdahl, N. (2023). Exploring Student Perceptions of K-12 Synchronous Remote Education. Journal of Online Learning Research, 9(2) 221-229.

Stefan Hrastinski; Anna Akerfeldt; Nina Bergdahl

Despite increased interest in synchronous remote K-12 education, there is limited research on how students perceive such education.

A survey that practitioners could also use as a formative assessment tool was distributed. The findings showed that students were slightly positive toward synchronous remote education.
