摘要:The emergence and rapid growth of the Internet and the media-rich extensions of the World Wide Web have made possible new developments in the way instructors transfer course content to their students. This has resulted in the growth of a new paradigm in pedagogy: technology-enabled learning. Many studies have examined the effectiveness of technology-enabled learning (also called online learning) but very few of the results can be generalized to CIS curricula. The current study examined the perceived effectiveness of online learning courses. Specifically, the study compared the perceived effectiveness of courses offered completely online versus those courses that are offered in a partially-online format. The results of the study suggest that CIS students rate partially online courses as being significantly more effective than courses offered completely online. In addition, the present study also suggests that CIS students prefer classroom instruction over online delivery methods for conveying CIS course content.
