A fantastic pedagogical issue of IRRODL free #research #eLearning #pedagogy

IRRODL is one of my favorite journals. It is truly international, actively working on research and location diversity, it is open and each issue offers a rich array of online learning relevant methods and cases.

When I saw the synopsis of this first 2016 issue, it got me all excited just at a glance! So, putting aside some reading time, to get through this 12 research articles (get ready for a glimpse of African, Mongolian; Philippine online education adoptions and insights) and one shared bit of field notes from a MOOC in Rural Rwanda. Oh, my this is just a treat!

You can find the IRRODL issue page here, but I also include the list of articles below.
