Distance education by its very nature implies physical separation and lack of connectedness among participants. Presented is a Discussion Forum Rubric that captures the multidimensionality of the study of nursing knowledge through participation expectations. This discussion rubric is designed to guide the dialogue of learners with faculty mentors to interpret nursing as an art and science with a theory-based foundation of: disciplinary knowing through critical inquiry; intentional knowing with genuine presence and attentiveness; dialogical knowing focusing on contextual learning within nursing situations; professional knowing through introspection and past experiences; and expressive knowing with articulation of ideas, thoughts, positions, and standards.

Within this paper, I seek to engage with the possibilities that may exist when, through a yogic lens, we disrupt those unspoken, but accepted boundaries with/in research and pedagogy that separate art and science, reader and author, student and teacher, knowing and not knowing. Using multiple genres, I explore the practice of researching and the limitations of Truth seeking to create space for dialogue across the text, as reader and writer consider the pedagogical possibilities of letting go within research. In a culture that places a premium on knowing, this work can be uncomfortable, but in the discomfort one may discover new ways of knowing and seeing that invite praxis within pedagogy.

The essence of distance education is the physical separation of teacher and learner (Sauve, 1993). In many countries, universities are increasingly employing distance education. Some institutions are incorporating distance education as a way to extend the classroom by employing delivery mechanisms that replicate the presentation of material in a manner similar to face-toface communication. Other institutions are investigating new delivery mechanisms that support a revised perspective on education. These latter institutions are revising their processes for interacting with students and taking a more customer-centered approach to the delivery of education. There are many options available to universities when deciding how to employ technology to support delivery of distance education.

This chapter introduces three arts projects that employ different collaborative methods to promote climate change awareness through community-based environmental education. The artworks provide new access points to climate change information, rather than acting as a representative for the discipline of science. This allows different ways of knowing about climate change through the experience of the artworks. The artworks were created through collaboration between scientists and creative practitioners, such as artists or designers, who has expertise in communicating information to a non-expert audience. The collaboration is aided through the creation of a boundary object, which allows creative practitioners to develop their understanding of the science they are presenting to their audience. The artworks also act as a boundary object between the scientist and the general public, allowing both groups to understand and transform their knowledge about climate change.

This article considers what to do with a political questioning of how to perform qualitative research when engaging with stuck bodily happenings. It does so inspired by philosophical-theoretical-methodological flows in the field of qualitative research where working against colonial ways of knowing and justice-oriented knowledge creation is of importance. The article's storying evolves from a reality- and philosophy-driven curiosity of race in relation to professionalism in early childhood education in a Nordic landscape. As a way of thinking through how to perform critical qualitative inquiry when positioned in a monist materialist thinking and within a philosophy of desire (Deleuze & Guattari, 1983, 1987), it explores Braidotti's (2011, 2013) “affirmative critique” as a way of working creatively with resistance.

Resumo A Educação a Distância tem avançado no Brasil e acredita-se que dentro de alguns anos é possível que haja mais matrículas no ensino superior a distância que no presencial. Muitos estudantes, no entanto, não se adaptam a esta modalidade que exige autonomia pedagógica e dedicação aos estudos e há separação física entre quem ensina e quem aprende e entre os estudantes sendo que a tentativa de minimizar os efeitos dessa separação vem por meio dos recursos eletrônicos. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar um estudo de pesquisa-ação no qual os alunos inicialmente têm dificuldade mas passam a adotar boas práticas. Boas práticas estão relacionadas às técnicas identificadas como as melhores para realizar determinada tarefa ou trabalho. Os resultados, neste estudo, apontam para melhoria nos resultados e o sucesso os alunos no curso a Distância. Palavras-chave: Ensino a distância; Metodologia; Aprendizagem; Estudante. Summary Distance Education has advanced in Brazil and it is believed that within a few years it is possible that there are more enrollments in distance learning than in the classroom. Many students, however, do not adapt to this modality that demands pedagogical autonomy and dedication to the studies and there is physical separation between who teaches and who learns and among the students being that the attempt to minimize the effects of this separation comes through electronic resources . The purpose of this article is to present an action research study in which students initially have difficulty but begin to adopt good practices. Good practices are related to the techniques identified as best to perform a certain task or job. The results, in this study, point to improvement in the results and success of the students in the distance course. Keywords: Distance learning; Methodology; Learning; Student.

Flash-forward to today’s world of instant-access in a technology driven society, where distance education has grown in viability and become a business. Whether provided via a traditional, land-based university or college to earn a formal degree, to complete professional development, or to seek additional certification, or by a for-profit organization or corporation to train their employees and advance their workers’ skills, people can access a well-developed range of educational services through distance education to better their lives and livelihoods regardless of the physical separation between themselves and the sponsoring institution. The main difference between distance education’s beginnings and today’s educational services is the medium used to conduct learning. The postal services may still be used as a secondary mode of communication and print is still a constant technologic tool, but the expanding success of distance education can be attributed to providing education that 1) spans great distances between citizens and educational institutions, both geographically and socio-economically; 2) quenches the thirst for education; and 3) utilizes the rapid advancement of technology (Casey, 2008).
