Students need a variety of information about digital courses, including required devices and how instructors structure their virtual courses and expectations, before they enroll–but much of this information is not available prior to registration, according to results from a student focus group conducted by WCET and The Ohio State University’s Office of Technology and Digital Innovation.
The goal of the student focus group was to give institutions a better understanding of the information students believe is most critical to know when making decisions about enrolling in digital learning courses. The focus group and its results are part of research on the definitions of digital learning conducted by WCET in collaboration with the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association (CDLRA) and Bay View Analytics.
