q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
The commentary's Limitations section, citing Weiner (2003), reports a tension between the freedom student-centered online learning requires and teachers' desire for control. The review attributes this to the cited work; no new data are reported.
"For example, in an online situation a student should have more freedom to explore, with assignments focusing on knowledge building, yet many teachers want to give them less freedom and exert more control (Weiner 2003)."
