Draft Your
IntroductionReview the Literature
You may want to review books and articles that relate
to your topic. Generally, in short papers, you’ll want to
keep this review brief. Longer papers may have an entire section
devoted
to literature review. You can use a literature review to explain
scholarship on your topic and how that scholarship bears on your
topic. For example,
you may show how your thesis contributes to or disagrees with the
research.
Distance learning, or to be more specific web-based learning, is
on the rise across the nation, prompting some theorists to consider
if a new pedagogy is needed for web-based learning. Teubeaux (1995),
Keirgan (1998), Peterson (1989), Berg (1999), and Parroton (2001),
argue for a new pedagogy. On the other hand, theorists such as Market
(2002), Reeves (1996), Cusners (1997), and Lawrenson (2000), posit
that a new pedagogy is not needed because pedagogy does not change
from a traditional to a web-based learning environment. In this essay,
I contribute to the literature that a new pedagogy is not needed for
a web-based learning environment by showing how current pedagogy can
be adapted to the web-based learning environment.
