Pre Survey Concerns – 1Interaction with instructor & fellow students
• not understanding a part of a lecture online (i wouldn't be able to ask theinstructor a direct question)
• Being able to ask the professor questions while watching the prerecordedlecture is not the easiest, but if email is accessible, it isn't too difficult.
• I don't feel a connection with my professor.
• I am worried that connections with other student in the class will belimited due to the fact that physical interaction will only exist half thetime.
• I will not pay attention in class because I can watch the lectures online
• There is less opportunity to ask questions without waiting for an email
reply from the professor.• not having someone to talk to in class to help with problems

Pre Survey Concerns – 2Students completely against online education:
•Yes, I am concerned that this is the direction education is going in, andI don't like it. I think there is something to be said about social contact with peers, and using a pen and paper/handwriting. I think that weneed to hold on to as much personal/physical contact as possible, asFacebook/dating sites/online jobs have already taken a lot of it over.
•If I had wanted an online education I would have attended theUniversity of Phoenix.
•Seems to be a poor fix for an over-enrolled class.
•It disgusts me. I don't pay 30k/yr out of state to watch videos online.

Pre Survey Concerns – 3Not a good learning experience:
• I am a visual learner and going to class helpsme learn the information. Online, previously recorded lectures are a little less personal
and sometimes hard to fit into my schedule.• its harder to recall things i hear in videos
than in lectures
• Understanding the material through a video.

Initial Model Student Concerns
• pre survey responses
–Not being able to be there when i want to and more when the schedule deems
necessary
–Remembering which days are "day 1"and "day 2“
–We can’t watch all the lectures online
– Attendance should be optional.

Flexibility = Learning at my ownpace
• I was able to do my work on my own timein a way that best suited my learningstyle. I could just read the book and do
the assignments. If I was confused abouta certain concept or example problem Icould go back and watch the lecture atany time. I could attend class if I was in
the mood, or I could sleep. This class wasvery nicely organized.

• Do-It-Yourself style of learning with
assistance if necessary • allowed me to learn the material at
my pace, which was what made it
easier to perform better...

Additional Comments - 1• I am the type of person to always attend class, as it is
how I learn the best. However, one day I was sick and hadto watch the lecture online. I realized that I was able toget more out of watching the lecture online because I wasable to pause it when need so I could take notes.
• I learn better online when I can be in a quiet room, not ina crowded lecture hall. I prefer watching the lectures inmy room where I can focus instead of in a room full of people who won't stop talking.

Additional Comments - 2
• recorded lectures... you can watch them at any time, re-watch them if necessary, and pause them to take better notes.
• It really helped me learn in my own time
• I could control the speed of the class
• being able to miss a class if I was studying for another exam but still get
the information
• The videos online provide everything a student would receive if they were present in the actual class. You can also watch the lectures that youattend to reinforce your understanding of the information.
