“…Students referred back to e-guest visits in later discussions together in class. It was clear that, as Boettcher and Cartwright (1997) observed, e-guests formed an additional learning resource for students. The interaction between e-guests and students encouraged engagement and critical thinking, as suggested by Hemphill and Hemphill (2007).…”

“…While Merle and Craig (2017) recommended the face-to-face classroom over the online environment to promote this connection between speaker and students, other researchers have found positive ways to extend or introduce guests to the online learning environment. For instance, Boettcher and Cartwright (1997) suggested that the e-guest can act as an additional learning resource for students, while Ostorga and Farruggio (2013) have argued that e-guests encourage deep learning. Additionally, examining the collaboration between students and external visitors, Eveleth and Baker Eveleth (2009) reported that online guests possess a credibility that enables them to reinforce learning.…”

Purpose Teaching and learning online during the Covid-19 pandemic has forced university instructors to consider online alternatives to the classroom. It is possible to facilitate students’ learning in the digital environment in similar ways to the traditional face-to-face classroom. The inclusion of e-guests in the digital learning space presents one such opportunity. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of e-guests in online learning. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a case study, following a postgraduate class and the role of the e-guest in students’ synchronous online learning. Findings E-guests facilitated student learning. Their approaches to learning ranged from slides to discussions. Students responded well to this method of learning. Practical implications There is potential for enhancing student learning through the inclusion of e-guests, who bring their expertise to the classroom. E-guests from different regions offer students an opportunity to learn from specialists they would not necessarily have access to in the traditional classroom. Originality/value E-guests offer one important potential means of enriching online teaching.

“…Some researchers define student success in a distance learning program as increased retention, greater enrollment numbers, and reaching the more diverse student population (Peterman 2000;Tucker 2000). Other researchers believe that success includes factors such as continued faculty/student interaction (Boettcher and Cartwright 1997). Other researchers also suggest that a typical, effective way to evaluate student success is the use of grades (Cavanaugh 2006;Deka and McMurry 2006;Schoenfield-Tacker, et al 2001,Carroll andGaravalia 2002;Hogan 1997;Huston 1997;Sonner 1999).…”

With the increase in online courses and programs and constant changes in the online learning environment, it is important for distance learning administrators and academic advisors to be aware of the factors affecting student success and enrollment in online classes, especially as they uniquely relate to specific disciplines. This study uses a survey of students enrolled in online Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and EDP Auditing classes to analyze the factors affecting student success, paying special attention to the role of computer knowledge, previous online experience and demographic variables as determinants of these results. The results show that previous online experience and computer knowledge do not affect student success; however, age and race are important factors in determining student success.
