Comparing Trends in Online Learning Research: A Categorical Approach Using Text Mining
Wed, Nov 3, 1:30 to 2:30pm CDT (1:30 to 2:30pm CDT), Palmer, IndianaShort Description
The purpose of this research is to identify longitudinal trends within online learning research using 15 highly regarded, peer-reviewed publications in educational technology and online education. This metatrend analysis employs text mining techniques to establish trends from recently published research (2016-2020) and compare with trends from a previous twenty-year time span (1997-2016). A cluster analysis is performed on the extracted text data, and time trends within the clusters are identified.
