“…Some reported students' positive responses to the instruction such as easy access to information, convenience, learner control, and meaningful learning (Daugherty & Funke, 1998). Others reported students' need to feel connected with the course by seeing and hearing the instructor and peers (Gibbs, 1998;Ryan, Carlton, & Ali, 1999). These findings suggest that despite greater learner control and flexibility, WBI may suit some students better than others.…”

This multicase study investigated the learning experiences of four college students identified respectively as internal and external locus of control. They were taking a basic educational technology course that supplemented classroom teaching with two course web sites. Four categories that characterized their learning experiences suggested some relationship between locus of control and learning experience.KEY WORDS: locus of control; web-supplemented instruction; notion of learning; learning approach; use of web resources.While the growing instructional use of online technology is theoretically grounded in aptitude-treatment research, the longstanding observation that "one size does not fit all" calls for studies on individual students' learning with online technology. However, among many studies reporting students' better performance and positive perceptions of web-based instruction (WBI) and web-supplemental instruction (WSI), few use qualitative methods to understand the learning process of individual students. Although numerous studies using quantitative methods have demonstrated a link between locus of control (LOC) and students' learning performance, few case studies are found explaining how students' LOC plays a role in their learning. Without enough information about how individual learners interact with online tools, the instructional use of these tools may end up creating new kinds of learning disabilities. This multicase study examined from different data sources how different LOC students interacted with their course work, the instructor, and the instructional environment in a 14-week semester.

“…In addition, some mention must be made of the prerequisite skills that are expected of the students. Individuals who do not have experience with computers are found to be less able to learn from online courses since they spend enormous amounts of time completing the most basic of word processing tasks (Gibbs, 1998).…”

A Review of Distance Learning Influences on Adult Learners: Advantages and Disadvantages

This paper discussed the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning influences on adult learners. Distance learning has become popular in higher institutions because of its flexibility and availability to learners and teachers at anytime, regardless of geographic location. With so many definitions and phases of distance education, this paper only focuses on the delivery mode of distance education (the use of information technology), background, and its disadvantages and advantages for today's adult learners. Overall, distance learning is increasingly becoming an alternative in education, industry, large corporation, and various government entities, by and large when students, employees are far and wide spread geographically within and outside that region in which the course has been taken place.

“…This research showed that "giving learners authority over the physical learning environment and offering different formats for collaboration, either online or in person, contributed to the learners' overall satisfaction with the course the course structure". Other factors include the relationships between the user and the technology, the instructor and students, and the relationships among the students [13], [16].…”

The need for adopting virtual and remote labs in engineering education is high in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. This paper proposes the evaluation plan of a network of remote labs in the Maghrebian countries. This plan is based on the significant research that has been done until now concerning the evaluation of remote labs. More specifically the proposed evaluation strategy of the project will focus on five different but interrelated directions (a) usability of remote labs; (b) learners' attitude towards remote labs; (c) technical evaluation of remote labs operation; (d) evaluation of the e-learning content namely the teaching units previously described; and (e) learning outcome. Index Terms-Remote labs, Network of remote labs, Engineering education, Evaluation.I.
