Summary of Students' Responses to the Distance Learning Format In HES 3002 Class

Related Area	Positive	Negative
Technology	Technology is an incentive for learning, it provides you variety of tools to fulfill your academic accomplishment.	Technically intimidated with LearningSpace network, concerned with their lack of technology background.
Distance learning forma	Distance learning class provides learning any time and anywhere, helps mediate the time and space conflicts.	Not in a habit of learning with distance class technology, e-communication, and unable to locate the information in the network environment.
Interaction	Asynchronous interaction is convenient to communicate any time and anywhere. You can check assignments any time you like or during travel.	Not accustomed to the asynchronous interaction Synchronous interaction is more emotionally cognitively, and mentally engaging, Immediate responses could generate fast and more effective feedback than asynchronous responses.
LearningSpace	LearningSpace is a convenient network for online learning. You can retrieve any course resources from it and perform any classrelated learning activities in this place.	LearningSpace is not user-friendly. It is confusing and intimidating the new users. It is really hard to find things you want for the course preview and class assignment. It is easy to mess up with your work.
The Instructor	The instructor is patient and ready to help students. Her responses to the e-mails and discussion questions could meet my needs.	I don't think the instructor teaches us. Many times I can't see her responses. I got support more from students than from her. She is not responsible for our study online.
Course Content	This course content relates to my major and my life. It's an interesting and useful class.	The content of this class doesn't relate to my major. And it is uninteresting to me, only this course is required for my degree. That's why I have to take it.
Evaluation	This distance class evaluation is fair. We got As or Bs, that's not bad.	This distance learning class evaluation is unfair There is a lot of work reading, writing, accessing Internet LearningSpace and discussing, but you see less teacher's instruction and support. You work hard but are still unable to get 90% points for a grade of A.
