Theory and approaches

Summary

As online learners begin to study abroad, little is known about their motivations and expectations, nor the impact of their participation. This research uses quantitative and qualitative data in an attempt to understand the profile of the online student studying abroad, their motivations and expectations, and resulting outcomes.
