Instruction: Classroom lecture/discussion vs. Live televised instruction: A comparison of effects on student performance, attitude, and interaction

Learner Support Services for Online Students: Scaffolding for success

“…While some studies have reported high satisfaction from learners in online courses (i.e., Hill, 1999;Hill, Rezabek and Murry, 1998;Wayland, Swift and Wilson, 1994), others have indicated that students often experience frustration with distance delivered courses because they do not possess the skills needed to be successful (Ritchie and Newby, 1989;Swift, Wilson and Wayland, 1997). In fact, students' feelings of isolation can be compounded if they are ill equipped to deal with the demands of studying at a distance.…”

Evaluation of a multimedia online tool for teaching bronchial hygiene to physical therapy students

“…Lowe, Wright and Bearn 7 compared the benefits of classroom instruction with those of a program of computerised learning for orthodontics and found that students using the computerised program acquired knowledge in a similar or even more efficient manner. Most studies evaluating effectiveness of the use of new technologies have compared distance learning with regular classroom learning [23][24][25][26] . Instead, the present study evaluated improvements in student learning using online tools as adjuvants to regular learning, because we understand that distance learning cannot replace the clinical qualification of a good teacher.…”

“…In a previous study 17 , our group described, step by step, the development of a multimedia tool for teaching bronchial hygiene available on the internet, however, this was only a descriptive study and this tool's effectiveness in the student's learning was unknown. Our approach was not to compare conventional versus distance courses [23][24][25][26] , but to offer a hybrid course where a conventional course was combined with online support and multimedia resources.…”

Distance Learning In Accounting Courses From The Students Perspective (1999-2006)

“…Previous studies on DE are mixed with some students at remote sites experiencing less ability to ask questions, less involvement and less overall satisfaction/enjoyment with the course (Ritchie and Newby, 1989), while other studies show students in DE classes reporting more favorable attitudes and a willingness to take additional DE classes in the future ( The purpose of this research study is to assess student attitudes and perceptions in three upper division quantitatively oriented accounting courses taught by instructors at a Pacific Northwest university from 1999 to 2006 via ITV in real time to two student groups: traditional college aged students typically receiving course instruction live in a traditional college classroom setting, and non-traditional, adult, working students typically receiving the same course instruction in real time via two-way interactive television at remote classroom sites throughout the region.…”
