Occasional Papers in Open and Distance Learning
This is a free publication of the Open Learning Institute at Charles Sturt University, a regionally based university in New South Wales (Australia). It is principally intended to be an in-house journal for teaching staff at the university, which gives it the virtue of being highly focused on current pedagogical and other educational issues and on practical approaches to effective teaching and learning in higher education. Another virtue is that it is not narrowly concerned with Web-based teaching but takes a broad sweep through crucial areas of curriculum and delivery, like the article on "Assessment practices at CSU" (No.19), or the report on the "Inaugural CELT Learning and Teaching forum: Re-examining Learning and Teaching at CSU"(No. 21). There are also, of course, very specific items relevant to online education, like "Evaluating IMM [interactive multimedia] - issues for researchers" and "Designing study materials for distance students" (both in No. 17) and "On-line study packages for distance education: Some considerations of conceptual parameters" (No. 18).
Issues from Number 17 are available online at http://www.csu.edu.au/division/oli/pubs/. From Number 22 onwards, the publication needs to be downloaded as a PDF file, using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
