    • One major advantage of the Internet that has been identified by researchers is
      the electronic discussion feature (Madden, Ford, Miller, & Levy, 2003;
      Tiene, 2000; Chandler & Maddux, 1998; Jiang & Ting, 1998).
    • Student attitudes toward computers influence the future use of computers in
      instruction (Sanders & Morrison-Shetlar, 2001). This issue encouraged many
      researchers to assess students' overall attitude toward computers. Variables
      such as gender, age and prior computer experience were found to influence
      students' attitude toward computers (Hill, 2000; Price & Winiecki, 1995;
      Smith & Necessary, 1996; Moon, 1994).

  • A Comparison of Web-Enhanced vs Traditional Classroom Teaching on 2009-03-29
    • The students were asked to respond by short answer to what they liked
      best about the Web-enhanced format. Students responded that they liked
      the flexibility of doing the modules when they had time; they preferred the more
      structured approach to the learning, and believed that the online assignments
      prepared them better. One student stated, "It forced me to sit down at the
      computer, read through the material and Web sites in a more timely manner, and
      the case studies provided me an opportunity to apply what I had just learned to
      a specific scenario." Another wrote, "The modules gave me the opportunity to
      critically think through the material."


      The next question asked what students liked least about the
      Web-enhanced format. The majority of student comments focused on the modules
      being a lot of work, the length of time that it took to complete the modules,
      and too much homework. One student wrote, "I had a difficult time motivating
      myself to watch the modules."


      Evaluation of the Traditional (Lecture Format

  • Classroom Teaching Changes in Web-Enhanced Courses: A Multi-Institutional Study (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE CONNECT on 2009-03-29
    • Web-based instruction in higher education has grown exponentially, with more
      than a thousand universities offering courses over the Web in the United States
      alone.1Web-based instruction offers obvious advantages for distance
      and continuing education populations by making access to education at any time
      or place feasible. This kind of flexibility is similarly advantageous for
      informal or professional training. However, a major use of Web-based instruction
      is to enhance traditional, on-campus courses, where the benefit of Web
      enhancement as a supplemental resource is less obvious. Nonetheless,
      universities are investing significantly in course management software, expanded
      networks, and training and support capabilities to introduce Web enhancements to
      traditional courses. Faculty are embracing these tools as well and investing
      significant time and energy into adding Web-based supplements to their
      traditional courses.
