ABSTRACT |
|
This paper reports on a study to determine
if existing technology is adequate for the delivery of quality distance
education. The survey sample was 392 respondents from a non-traditional
graduate level. The study included 15 descriptive questions on course
assessment and satisfaction. The three hypotheses used Chi-square to find
relationships between interactivity and three other variables: progress,
communication mode, and the desire to take another course. Responses
showed that taking a distance education course was worthwhile. Findings,
recommendations and conclusion are included. |
