Factors Contributing to Student Success in Online and Media Site Courses: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

While online learning has been with us now as an educational, pedagogical device for a few years, there is scant research on the factors that contribute to success in this endeavour. This very brief exploratory investigation explores the thinking and perspectives and attributes of faculty, students (undergraduate and graduate) and instructional technologists via a brief Qualtrics survey. Preliminary results are discussed and implications offered.
