The first issue incorporates a rich-media solution, specifically streaming video, to precede traditional notes on any topic and second the use of a computer simulation software created by the authors, which can be placed on a matriculated distance education student's desktop remotely, without the legal or logistical problems of using commercial software, for example, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) or Statistical Analysis Software (SAS). Technical and pedagogical dimensions of these particular issues are discussed as well. }, number={2}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Vasu, Michael L. and Ozturk, Ali O.}, year={2009}, month={May}, pages={271–283} } @article{vasu_ozturk_2008, title={A Rich-Media Solution for Distance Education A Review of MediaSite}, volume={26}, ISSN={["0894-4393"]}, DOI={10.1177/0894439308317652}, abstractNote={ MediaSite by Sonic Foundry is a web communication and content management system that automatically webcasts lectures and presentations. These presentations can be viewed as a live stream or as an archive over the Internet. MediaSite is frequently used to supplement traditional classes and distance education applications. In this review, the authors share their experience in using a rich-media tool MediaSite that added a great teaching quality and affectivity to an undergraduate survey methodology course within distance education format. Their experience leads them to believe that this technology can enhance a methods course such as survey research by providing visual reinforcement of what are otherwise textbook lectures. This is also true with respect to the expectations of assignments and reviews for final exams. }, number={4}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE COMPUTER REVIEW}, author={Vasu, Michael L. and Ozturk, Ali O.}, year={2008}, pages={528–533} } @article{ozturk_swiss_2008, title={Implementing management tools in Turkish public hospitals: The impact of culture, politics and role status}, volume={28}, ISSN={["1099-162X"]}, DOI={10.1002/pad.486}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={2}, journal={PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND DEVELOPMENT}, author={Ozturk, Ali Osman and Swiss, James E.}, year={2008}, month={May}, pages={138–148} }
