Perceived Faculty Presence with Use of Mediums for Assessment
Track
Research Proposal / Online Learning
Abstract
Although it has been reported that faculty presence on discussion boards for online/distance learning increases students’ satisfaction, there are minimal studies linking faculty presence to student performance. With the increased focus on implementing diverse technologies leading to faculty using more than discussion boards to assess performance, it is unclear if their use increases the students’ learning, satisfaction and the perceived faculty presence.
The purpose of this study was to assess student learning, satisfaction and perceived faculty presence in the on-line nursing program using surveys of 200 students following their completion of assignments using a diverse technology in an RN-BSN course.
