The next Deans’ Seminar in the 2023-24 series will be held this Friday, January 19, 2024. Jennifer Hatfield, Clinical Associate Professor of Speech Language Pathology, will present her research entitled “Student Perceptions of Online Course Design Features-What really supports their success? ”
We will meet at noon in the UCET Classroom (NS245). Feel free to bring your lunch. Soft drinks and water will be provided.
Abstract:
This presentation explores the results of Jennifer Hatfield’s dissertation case study that examined student perceptions of course design features that are viewed as most or least helpful in three required asynchronous online courses in the Vera Z Dwyer College of Health Sciences. The research questions were (1) Which course design features do students identify as the most effective for supporting their learning in an online course? and (2) What aspects of an online course do students perceive as most and least beneficial to their success? To obtain information about course design features a survey was disseminated via Qualtrics to five asynchronous online courses in the College of Health Sciences. Results showed that students found elements of course organization to be the most helpful in their success. A more detailed view of the results will be provided to participants with examples of course features students find beneficial to their success.
