The 3 articles I propose are these :
Dooley, Kim E.; Lindner, James R.; Telg, Ricky W.; Irani, Tracy; Moore, Lori; Lundy, Lisa (2007). ROADMAP TO MEASURING DISTANCE EDUCATION INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN COMPETENCIES. Quarterly Review of Distance Education, Vol. 8 Issue 2, p151-159, 9p; (AN 26266358)http://web.ebscohost.com.libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/ehost/detail?vid=3&hid=101&sid=6dddb8b9-d197-42e4-ad3d-22aba985a2fe%40sessionmgr103
This is a qualitative study of ‘Distance Educational Instructional Design’ to assess changes in competence in 12 areas of adult learning strategies, using open-ended narrative interviews that were analyzed using a ‘constant comparative method’ to document the distance learning process.
Subramaniam, Karthigeyan. (2007). Teachers' mindsets and the integration of computer technology. British Journal of Educational Technology, Vol. 38 Issue 6, p1056-1071, 16p;
DOI: 10.1111/j.1467-8535.2006.00693.x; (AN 26771217)http://web.ebscohost.com.libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/ehost/detail?vid=1&hid=106&sid=a26125d3-caec-4629-8097-b2112edaceb2%40sessionmgr106
zone of proximal development
This qualitative article studied the ‘zone of proximal development’and metaphoric mediation to determine how closely computer technology can simulate ‘authentic immersion’ (from other studies) of the study in the topic as a means of making the learning experience realistic.
Gülbahar, Yasemin. (2007). Technology planning: A roadmap to successful technology integration in schools. Computers & Education, Vol. 49 Issue 4, p943-956, 14p; DOI: 10.1016/j.compedu.2005.12.002;
(AN 26334955)
http://web.ebscohost.com.libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/ehost/detail?vid=1&hid=106&sid=d6f48507-b173-4580-aedb-0d258582433f%40sessionmgr107
This article studies the correlation between ‘technology expense’ and the benefits derived from the use of those technologies, asserting that “there is a little success achieved so far [although it] holds a number of promises to overcome those problems.” The use of terms such as “perceived computer literacy” and “unstructured interviews” indicate that this is a qualitative study.

Hi Charles,
I read your last article on your list. It was very interesting to read about how teachers and students perceive the use of technology in the classroom. I was a little shocked at the percentages of teachers that believe that calculators and other software devices were never used in the classroom and also at the percentages of students who believed the same thing. I teach mathematics and I hear all sorts of stories from students of how their "last teacher" allowed them to use calculators in the most basic mathematics class we offer. I even had a student pull out a calculator to add "1.0" to a decimal number. It is amazing how much students nowdays rely on using a calculating device to perform simple mathematics.
Very interesting article, Charles. Good choices. I am interesting in reading your literature reviews regarding all three articles.
James
