Two weeks after their arrival atthe University dormitories, 225 freshman students completed the 33-item measure of homesickness, HomesicknessQuestionnaire (Archer et al, 1998). According to this questionnaire, 88 of the students were found to be suffering fromhomesickness (their scores were 1 SD beyond the average). From this population, 50 students were randomly selected andassigned to the intervention and control group. Subjects in the experimental group, undergone 10 sessions of cognitivebehavioralstress management Training. Subjects in the control group received no treatment.Data were analyzed usingindependent t test. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the pre-test result. However, aftercompleting the stress management training, the experimental group showed significantly lower scores than the control group.Furthermore, two factors of homesickness (i.e. dissatisfaction with the university and strong attachment to home) which did notshow any differences between the groups in the pre-test results, revealed significant reduction in the post-test results of theexperimental group.The results of the present study show that cognitive-behavioral stress management training can be effectivein alleviating homesickness and the problems that the students may encounter when they enter a new university environment.

Abstract

Distance educators are increasingly adopting both synchronous and asynchronous ICT-based modes ofcommunication to enhance distance learning environment. With the use of ICT-based modes, distancelearners are now able to participate in class in real time; interact with their lecturer and peers; and accesscourse and external information/resources at their own convenient time, place and pace.This paper seeksto assess the extent to which video broadcast enhances learning environment for distance learners at theIslamic Azad University Karaj Branch. Apart from print, video broadcast is also used as a delivery mode andmodes such as audio and video conferencing, and WebCT(tools) are used to supplement distance learning.This paper employs a multi-perspective evaluation design with survey questionnaires as the main andinterviews as the supplementary technique of data collection. Results suggest that video broadcast mode atIslamic Azad University Karaj Branch enriches the distance learning environment. ICT-based attributessuch as tele-presence, interaction and flexibility emerge as being enhanced by video broadcast mode.
