o How well does the literature review form the basis for the problem or the research questions?
The literature review has a strong influence on how the problem was formulated and how the research questions were applied and answered. Using references from Beaudion (2003) such as “leadership in distance education” as a stepping stone to creating innovative changes in online education (para. 3).
