E-Learning Practice in Higher Education: A Mixed-Method Comparative Analysis / Studies in Systems, Decision and Control Bd.122 (PDF)

Sayed Hadi Sadeghi obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in educational administration and planning from the University of Tehran in 2004 and 2007, respectively. In February 2016 he submitted his PhD to the Faculty of Education and Social work at the University of Sydney, Australia in the field of e-learning practice in higher education. He developed numerous project management skills over the course of his PhD training. On the technical side, he became an expert in mixed-method research design, applying SPSS and NVivo for analyzing the data. While completing his PhD, he worked in an international educational assembly as Lecturer and Senior Researcher. His responsibilities in this role were identification and evaluation of major cultural events based on pedagogical context in Sydney communities. Recently, he was appointed to the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Academic Studies. His responsibilities in this role are assessing the quality and validity of authors'manuscripts on computer-supported learning and e-learning practices. Since 2012, as member of the Oceania Comparative and International Education Society, he attempted to expand the understanding of cultural-pedagogical paradigms in different cultures to improve their quality of e-practices, which fits well with the author's recent comparative study of e-learning between The University of Minnesota and The University of Sydney on practices and policies. For this, he received the "A" grade and reference support letter from the Pro Vice-chancellor Portfolio and Adjunct Professor at the School of Education in the University of New South Wales (UNSW) who was the author's examiner. He is now working as the Project Director of the University of Tehran's human resource development project, which is a new cognitive behavioral project to advance future management and organizational learning practice in the Inter-Kingdom Archery Competition (IKAC).
