As the Modern Distance Education in Rural Primary and Secondary School Project has moved from the construction stage to the application stage,there has appeared an abundance of research.This paper intends to review the research outputs with the aim of revealing the status quo of research in the field.186 articles published in seven educational technology journals and distance education journals as well as 32 MA and PhD degree papers from 2003 to 2009 were analyzed with the instrument of content analysis.Review results indicate that the research in the field was very comprehensive.Implementation and application,basic theory and performance evaluation were top on the research agenda while management,sustainable development,learners,and specific applications did not receive due attention.Longitudinally,research in the field reached its peak in 2007 and began to slow down from 2008.Researchers were chiefly from higher education institutions with an academic background in educational technology.Practitioners accounted for a slight percentage only.
