Özet

Advances in technology have enabled educators to move further from the physical limitations of a classroom atmosphere. Integration of usual classroom courses into distance learning modules has been carried out worldwide. However, these distance learning modules generally consist of offline courses prepared in advance. There are also many educational institutions where courses are offered via interactive web-based platforms. Still, these courses are designed for undergraduate levels and there is not much research concerning the potential for integration of post-graduate studies into online courses. In this study, researchers investigated students’ attitudes towards a PhD course which was administered interactively via distance learning. Findings show that the experience led to positive effects along with operational adversities which sometimes made the lesson flow unfeasible. The outcomes are discussed in light of relevant studies. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
