Student Assessment
No significant difference in student performance compared to previous years.
3 surveys: at the beginning, middle, and end of each semester
- no previous distance learning experience for all, standard Web tools are fairly novel for many
In the final survey (30 students, both factual and open-ended questions):
- all but three say that they are satisfied with what they have accomplished in this course
- all joined virtual meetings, used class web pages
- 83% used whiteboard, 60% collaborated in shared applications (most useful techniques); 30% used text chat
- lack of communication with instructor, missed eye contact, asked less questions, though interacted more with fellow students
