Students Perceptions of Distance Learning, Online Learning and the Traditional Classroom

چکیده

Until the late 1980’s, the primary educational delivery model for collegiate professorial staff was essentially the traditional lecture. Student populations consisted of single, residential 18-23 year olds although working, non-traditional students had begun to increase dramatically. As we approach the year 2000, the student population has continued to change to married, employed, and non-residential students [1]. Due to new technologies, knowledge delivery modules have also changed to include on-line (education access through the Internet) and distance education (interactive learning). Often these new educational technologies are implemented without fully understanding their impact. Based on a study done at a medium sized state university, we have found that distance learning and on-line learning technologies are perceived by students as having some benefits although they are not necessarily knowledge related.
