摘要:This paper extends a previous study (conducted by the authors at two Universities) that examined the effectiveness of online learning in Computer and Information Systems curricula. In order to further investigate the influence of various online learning formats on students, the current research includes additional data from students and probes deeper into various delivery formats. The present study addresses the following research questions: 1) Which delivery method (i.e., on-ground, online, hybrid/partially online) do students perceive as providing the best learning in regard to Computer and Information Systems subject areas? 2) For each instructional method (i.e., online, hybrid/partially online, on-ground) should schools Offer More, Keep Offerings the Same or Offer Less courses that use a particular instructional method? 3) Can a profile be developed for students who prefer the online delivery method based on the students’ work habits (i.e., supervision, self-organization and interaction)?
