Feedback

I appreciate your timely feedback on this course.  However, you can still send it to me if you have not done so. Your feedback will be counted as one chat credit. You will need this point if you don't have the minimum five chat sessions.

I am doing research on Web-Based Learning Environment (WBLE) and I need your feedback on this course. Your name will not be used in my final report.

Students entering distance education programs often find themselves adapting to new learning environments and new technologies. Part of this adaptation involves coping with unfamiliar technology and learning to manage its use within the group, helping them create the environment in which they will learn. Part of it involves developing personal relationships that will ease their work and learning, helping them cope with unfamiliarity and change.

I hope by examining suggestions from distance learning students on how to cope with this process can yield three-fold results. First, it can demonstrate how students, instructors and administrators need to work together to ease student's paths. Second, it will help us in advising distance learning students about what they can expect from distance learning, and how they can contribute to and benefit from their distance learning community. Finally, it can provide recommendations to instructors and program directors on how better to help their students cope with this community building transition and distance learning environment.  Also, I hope by getting your feedback on this course can help me improve my instruction and help students learn better when I teach this course next term.

1. Is this your first online class?  If no, how many online classes have you taken before?

8. Did you get prompt help or support from your classmates or instructor?

9. If you were to take this course again, what would you like to see that should be done differently?

10. On average, how much time do you spend per week on this course? Do you think you would spend more or less time on the course if you were to take this class face-to-face in the classroom?
