Why is it important?
The in-depth experience of students simultaneously enrolled in courses in two different programs employing distinctly different modes of delivery allows for insightful comparisons from the student perspective.
Perspectives
Studies about student preferences are limited by the fact that students are enrolled in one program typically experiencing one mode of delivery. The immediate experience of experiencing two different modes in two separate programs allows for views and opinions from a different experience. Student opinion is important as consumers of education. User-centered input in the design and delivery of courses should be a typical approach to designing courses for online delivery.
