- Connecting Distance Learning Communities to Research via Virtual Collaboratories: A Case Study from Library and Information Science Rebmann, Kristen Graduate Students Distance Education Case Studies Writing (Composition) Information Science Education Information Science Virtual Classrooms Collaborative Writing Synchronous Communication Scholarship Productivity Academic Advising Computer Mediated Communication Group Discussion This case study reports on patterns of participation in a virtual collaboratory organised around goals associated with the involvement of graduate students in research and writing projects. Traditionally, distance learning classrooms have been devoted to teaching content matter (in a virtual context) yet this case study reports on the use of synchronous learning contexts to support research and professionalisation on the part of graduate students in library and information science. Focus is placed on discussing virtual collaboratories as a form of learning design that modifies the use of existing (synchronous) distance learning classrooms. (Contains 1 figure and 3 tables.)
