Call for Participants: Student Perspectives of Quality

Penn State University
What Makes a Quality Online Course: The Student Perspective
Call for Participants

Hello,

I am currently seeking organizations, institutions, departments, and
instructors with online learners to participate in a national study.

* Do students agree with existing quality benchmarks?
* Is there anything missing?

The purpose of this research study is to gain insight into what elements
contribute to the quality of an online course. Also of interest is how
learners perceive these design elements as contributing to their success
in taking online courses. Learners will complete an online survey. There
are eighty-eight questions on the survey and it takes about 20 minutes
to complete.

Each participating organization, institution, department, or instructor
will receive a copy of their students' data. I will only present and
publish compiled data.

Those interested in participating in the study may contact me for
detailed information, a sample instrument, a copy of approved IRB form,
and sample student invitations.

Feel free to distribute this to interested groups or individuals.

Thank you for your assistance,
