ABSTRACT
|
The studies described in this paper sought to investigate
several forms of online learning and assessment methods in terms their
efficacy in facilitating student learning. The studies also sought to
investigate how participants rated each method. Attitudes toward
computer-assisted learning were not related to performance on each of the
online methods employed, whereas some relationships were noted between
cognitive styles and online learning and assessment. Finally, evaluation
feedback from participants indicated that each online task was rated
positively. Implications of the findings for further implementation of
online instructional methods are discussed.
Keywords: Cognitive style, literature search, online discussion,
