“…Their views have reflected a new model that includes the incorporation of technology into counselor training and practice, because of its availability, benefits and varied applications (Fenichel et al 2002 ; Glasheen and Campbell 2009 ; Watts, 2002 ; Venne & Doerr, 2018 ). Thus, there is now a growing consensus that counselor training and practice should be aligned with the utilization of technology (de la Varre et al 2011 ; Dincyurek and Uygarer 2012 ; Glasheen et al 2016 ; King et al 2006 ; Menon and Rubin 2011 ).…”

“…For clients, email-based counseling, chat-rooms, cybertherapy, online self-help and support groups, and numerous counseling information websites provide the convenience of professional services regardless of time and location (Barak and Grohol 2011 ). Internet-based counseling can be attractive and beneficial to many clients as it is likely to increase the ease of clients’ access to resources; is less intimidating to certain client populations; is cost effective; and is suitable for those who live in remote areas and/or those who are unable to undertake face-to-face counseling for various reasons (de la Varre et al 2011 ; Dincyurek and Uygarer 2012 ; King et al 2006 ; Klein et al 2010 ; Krist and Woolf 2011 ; Menon and Rubin 2011 ; Simpson et al 2005 ).…”

This content analysis provides an overview of articles specific to technology integration in the field of counseling published in American Counseling Association (ACA) journals between the years 2000 and 2018. In addition to the number of articles on this topic published during this time period, the study identified other aspects such as authors and institutional affiliations; methodology, study locations, and application settings; target populations and sample characteristics; and areas and types of technology integration. Recommendations are provided for counseling research in general and for future research extending from specific circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Keywords Counseling journals. Content analysis. Technology. Counseling Like other professions, counseling is experiencing a technological revolution, and advances in technology have increased the avenues available for counselors to meet the diverse needs of clients as well as counselor educators and those of counselors-in-training (Layne and Hohenshil 2005). As the use of technology and technological tools in counselor training and practice has evolved as a new dimension (Fenichel et al. 2002; Lewis et al. 2000), many counseling scholars (e.g., Carlson et al. 2006; Holmes and Foster 2012; Khelifa 2007) have begun to explore various topics related to technology integration in their research (e.g., ethical issues in online counseling, therapeutic outcomes with technology incorporated, counselors'

“…Distance learning and the correct use of technology can help alleviate challenges found in rural areas by bringing people together. Use of distance learning and online learning technologies in rural schools has enriched curricular opportunities for students previously relegated to studies available only in the general education Varre et al, 2010). Technology helps connect students in rural schools with the world outside their isolated communities through videoconferencing, advanced classes, and research (Floyd et.…”

Nationwide, Black students are underrepresented in gifted and talented education and advanced learner programs. These tragic outcomes occur in all demographic communities: urban, suburban, and rural. As a result, the academic and psychosocial supports needed by gifted Black students are overlooked, disregarded, and underdeveloped. Rural communities are frequently depicted as remote, lacking in social and academic experiences and opportunities, and predominantly White and economically disadvantaged. For gifted and talented Black students, these characterizations contribute to feelings of isolation and alienation in school on a daily basis. Despite their high intellectual potential, they are constantly victimized by racially oppressive conditions in society that cause stress and anxiety. The Black rural community, including Black gifted and talented students, is almost invisible in scholarship that discusses rural education in the United States. This article explores the nature of the rural communities where these students reside; shares intellectual, academic, and cultural characteristics that make Black gifted students from rural communities unique; and delineates recommendations for research, curriculum, and specific programming to meet their intellectual, academic, cultural, and psychosocial needs with an emphasis on access, equity, and excellence.

“…Online classes are a form of distance learning available completely over the Internet with no F2F interaction between an instructor and students (Helms, 2014). Some of the benefits of online classes include a cost-effective price point, postsecondary credit equivalency, and the ability to provide education to anyone with Internet accessibility (Bartley & Golek, 2004; De la Varre, Keane, & Irvin, 2011; Gratton-Lavoie & Stanley, 2009).…”

This study compares the academic performance and perceptions of 114 undergraduate students enrolled in an abnormal psychology course. Specifically, this study focuses on whether face-to-face (F2F) or blended modalities are associated with student learning outcomes. In this study, data analysis was based upon the examination of end-of-course grades, final exams, and an end-of-course survey. The data revealed that the same course presented in a F2F and a hybrid modality was associated with nearly identical learning outcomes in terms of student evaluations and final exam scores. However, students did note differences in course delivery in terms of time, assessment, and overall structure.
