I believe that it is very much dependent on the context, which includes the state, institute and existing level of practice among the teachers. I would suggest "Using the theory of habitus to move beyond the study of barriers to technology integration" by Belland 2009. I shall be glad to explore partnering research with you. It appears that your area of interest is the developing world, which matches mine.

Beth,

This is a very old question.  I don't know why it's still showing up in my Question/Answer feed.  But in the event you're still looking for answers allow me to recommend the web site www.geteducated.com  There is an abundance of information on online education programs.  They also have a job board where you could post your interest in a co-researcher.  Hope this helps.

Hi Beth,

Did you end up finding a research partner? I have some expertise in online education in the university sector.

Kevin.

This question(er) is a good example of a big waste of time.  The question is from two years ago.  The questioner never bothered to respond or return to the question to delete it.  RG should mark old questions with little or no comment as "Inactive."

John, I just tried to delete this question and was not allowed to.

Kevin, I am only looking for online education expertise in K-12. I also teach online at the university level. There are many issues unique to K-12 online education.  Beth
