The Effect of Synchronous and Asynchronous Participation on Students' Performance in Online Accounting Courses (2012, background): “As Segrave and Holt (2003) note, our knowledge-base as educators in this domain is not only inadequate, but the small amount of research we do have is drawn from isolated tests or anecdotal experience (Alavi and Leidner, 2001; Arbaugh, 2005a).”
Researching the community of inquiry framework: Review, issues, and future directions (2007, methodology): “…of the framework, researchers should consider studying other variables in concert with the CoI elements, including the course or subject matter (Arbaugh, 2005a; Drago, Peltier, & Sorensen, 2002; Wallace, 2002), the software used to deliver the course (Arbaugh, 2005b; Finlay, Desment, & Evans,…”
