This understanding comes through a variety of methods and strategies that each uncover a different layer of knowledge that can contribute to this overall understanding. As researchers, we are much like a young child seeking to understand their surroundings by first touching a new toy, then lifting it, then shaking it, then even tasting it! Each of these strategies tells the child a little more about the object.</p> <p>Similarly, as we seek to understand and influence our world, we need the knowledge gained from a wide variety of scholarly methods.</p> <p>The articles that make up this special issue are intended to bring that mission and goal closer together.</p>}, number={64}, journal={Revista de Educación a Distancia (RED)}, author={West, Richard}, year={2020}, month={sep.} }
