details |
The purpose of this project was to receive feedback from students about the instructional delivery and course management of English 102 as either an Internet-based course (completely online) or as an Internet-enhanced course (hybrid). The procedure in acquiring this feedback was as follows: 1) One English 102 course was delivered as a totally Internet-based course (completely online) during the Spring 2001 semester; 2) Concurrently, an English 102 classroom based/Internet-enhanced course (hybrid) was delivered using the same course materials, textbook and required assignments; 3) A summative evaluation, in the form of a forced-answered survey, was developed and delivered via Blackboard's Assessment Tool. In addition to the forced-answered questions, students were also prompted to provide feedback to open-ended questions within the same survey; 4) During the last 2 weeks of the Spring 2001 semester, students were required to complete the survey online. All responses were anonymous. Results of the forced-answered questions indicated that both groups of students (Internet-based and Internet-enhanced) generally perceived the Blackboard interface and content delivery as favorable although a small percentage of those surveyed indicated an unfavorable perception toward either the interface or the Internet. In addition, the open-ended questions on the survey produced specific areas of focus for improving the instructional delivery and course management of English 102 as either an Internet-based course (completely online) or as an Internet-enhanced course (hybrid). Faculty interested in the similarities and differences in perception and attitude between online courses and hybrid courses covering the same content will find the results interesting and the specific areas of focus for improvement insightful.
