Evaluating Distance Learning in Social Work Education: A Replication Study.
Thyer, Bruce A.; Artelt, Thomas; Markward, Martha K.; Dozier, Cheryl D.
Journal of Social Work Education, v34 n2 p291-95 Spr-Sum 1998
Social work students (n=57) enrolled in two University of Georgia graduate-level practice courses were exposed to approximately equal amounts of live, in-class instruction, and two-way interactive televised instruction. Post-course evaluations significantly favored live instruction over televised distance learning. More empirical research demonstrating the potential benefits of distance learning is needed before widespread adoption. (Author/MSE)
