Currently, I am involved in two online learning related reserch projects. The first one adoptes Action Reserach Design approach, and the second project is undertaken by my honours student, Jason Hou, in which we used repertory grid interview to collete data and used laddering analysis method to develop a hierarchical framework of technology use in online learning. Both projects aim to refine Community of Inquiry (CoI) framewory with a digital flavour.
