Abstract

This visually based study explored the distance higher education learning space for a hybrid doctoral programme. Thirteen doctoral students presented visual images representing the distance learning space, a non-tangible space. Corresponding photo self-elicitation and photo-production were analysed with the images to define the distance learning space and its makeup. Five themes emerged as necessary to the distance learning space: a) the physical space in which learning occurs; b) support systems; c) goals/accomplishments; d) community; and e) technology/tools. It was discovered that significant learning is occurring in student-created learning spaces external to the learning management system (LMS). Findings from this study may provide foundational characteristics for online educators in creating effective distance learning spaces and facilitating learning at a distance at the doctoral level.
