Klesius, Janell P.; Homan, Susan; Thompson, Theron
International Journal of Instructional Media, v24 n3 p207-20 1997
Student behavior and instruction in a distance education (DE) class delivered via live cable or videotape were compared to traditional courses taken by DE enrollees. Results indicated that individual characteristics impact the behavior variables of attentiveness and motivation in DE. In general, learner satisfaction with DE was perceived as commensurate with or better than traditional instruction. (AEF)
