Evaluating an Online Course: Feedback from "Distressed" Students.
Essex, Christopher; Cagiltay, Kursat
Quarterly Review of Distance Education, v2 n3 p233-39 Fall 2001
Presents results of a systematic effort to collect student feedback on a Web-based distance education course offered by a major university. Findings show some students experienced what Hara and Kling (2000) call distance education student "distress" and, while they found the course to be a satisfactory educational experience overall, students were "distressed" by technological challenges, ambiguous instructions, and online interactions with the instructor.
