We surveyed more than 300 students and analyzed their responses. Although almost every survey participant agreed that on-line courses are more convenient for students, there were significant disagreements and different perspectives about on-line education between the groups. Results from this research can be used to shape marketing and advising efforts for on-line courses and programs.  \nKeywords: On-line education, distance education, student perceptions  \nINTrODuCTION  \nIn recent years there has been significant growth in on-line education for many reasons [1, 2] . With uncertain fuel costs, this is expected to grow even faster [3] . For example, a recent study by Eduventures found that 64 percent of students enrolled in on-line programs lived within the same geographic area as the institution offering the program [4] . However, many students are still not very familiar or comfortable with on-line course delivery methods. The purpose of this research is to study student perceptions and misconceptions related to on-line education and characterize the differences that exist between those who have taken on-line courses before and those who have not.  \nsummer 2010 1  \nAdvAnces in engineeRing educATion student Perceptions of on-Line education  \nTo accomplish this goal, we surveyed students from a public, primarily undergraduate institution and analyzed the results. Although almost every survey participant agreed that on-line courses are more convenient for students and are becoming very popular in general, there were also many differences in perception. These differences included effectiveness of several aspects of the learning experience, difficulty level of the courses, and interaction opportunities. There were also significant differences in their stated likelihood of taking various types of courses (quantitative, qualitative, lab-based, etc. ) or types of delivery methods (synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid, etc. ) in the future.  \nIn this paper we expand upon these themes, and provide statistical analysis of the survey results. As universities continue to expand their on-line offerings, it is important to take into consideration the views of their various stakeholders. Results from this research can be used to shape marketing and advising efforts aimed at students.  \nBACKGrOuND  \nMuch research has been done in recent years to attempt to study the effectiveness of on-line education and characterize best practices associated with on-line delivery. However, much of this work ignores the student perceptions, which are a key input to the education process.  \nThe Alliance for Higher Education Competitiveness extensively surveyed 21 institutions of higher learning that felt they were implementing successful e-learning programs and looked for best practices associated with that group [5] . They found many commonalities for success, including support from administration, a goal of moving full programs on-line rather than only individual courses, and the belief that on-line courses/programs are higher quality than traditional face-to-face offerings. They gathered some information on student perceptions, but from the point of view of the single person most responsible for on-line education at the institution, rather tha","cbCaifvz28NA35cX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifvz28NA35cX","pdf",3824472,23,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Background","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the research on on-line education?\",\"answer\":\"The research studies general student perceptions of on-line education and characterizes differences among demographic groups, with emphasis on differences between students who have and have not taken on-line courses before.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and what was analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"More than 300 students were surveyed, and their responses were analyzed to compare views between groups.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about student opinions of on-line courses?\",\"answer\":\"Almost every participant agreed on-line courses are more convenient, but significant disagreements emerged about effectiveness, course difficulty, and interaction opportunities.\"}]","student Perceptions of On-Line education | PDF",1792067393,58]
