I am a Faculty Member and Researcher at Anadolu University, where I teach and conduct empirical studies on online learning, using critical theories such as connectivism, rhizomatic learning, and heutagogy. I am interested in emerging research paradigms such as social network analysis, sentiment analysis, and data mining, and how they can be applied to enhance online learning outcomes and experiences. I hold a PhD in Distance Education from Anadolu University, and I have published multiple articles, book chapters, and conference papers on various topics related to online learning. My goal is to explore the potential and challenges of online learning in different contexts and settings, and to foster a culture of openness, collaboration, and diversity in education.
