E-learning effectiveness and impact can be vastly improved through "design research" methods (Reeves, 2006).
In this session Prof. Thomas will  presents case studies of the application of “design research” methods to e-learning development in the context of higher education as well as in the context of business and industrial training. The paper also includes guidelines for implementing “design research” in international contexts.
