  13. Student satisfaction with online learning • Convenience • Reduced Logistic Demands • Increased Learning Flexibility • Technology Enhanced Learning Reduced Opportunity Costs for Education

  14. Students’ problems with online learning • Reduced Face-to-Face Time • Technology Problems • Reduced Instructor Assistance • Overwhelming • Increased Workload Increased Opportunity Costs for Education

  15. Student Generations

  16. Matures (prior to 1946) Dedicated to a job they take on Respectful of authority Place duty before pleasure Baby boomers (1946-1964) Live to work Generally optimistic Influence on policy & products Some characteristics of the generations • Generation X (1965-1980) • Work to live • Clear & consistent expectations • Value contributing to the whole • Millennials (1981-1994) • Live in the moment • Expect immediacy of technology • Earn money for immediate consumption

  17. Learning Style Twitch Speed Parallel Processing Graphics First Connected Active Learning Learn by Play Learn by Fantasy Technology Friendly Lifestyle Special Sheltered Confident Team Oriented Achieving Pressured Conventional The Digital Generation

  18. Learning Style Surface Functioning Difficult to Teach Research by “Surf” Weak Critical Thinking Skills Naïve Beliefs Regarding Intellectual Property Technology Preferences Have Little Institutional Context Lifestyle Self-focused Artificial Self-esteem Anything is Possible Orientation Cynical Life by Lottery “Yeah Right” Attitude The Digital Generation: Challenges

  19. Students who were satisfied by generation 55% 38% 26% Percent Boomer 1946-1964 n=328 Generation X 1965-1980 n=815 Millennial 1981-1994 n=346

  20. Better able to integrate technology into their learning 67% 48% 34% Percent Boomer 1946-1964 n=328 Generation X 1965-1980 n=815 Millennial 1981-1994 n=346

  24. Student Behavior Types

  25. Research on reactive behavior patterns • Theory of William A. Long, University of Mississippi • Ambivalence brings out behavior patterns • Provides a lens for how “types” react to different teaching styles

  26. Resources • Personality • Emotional maturity • Sophistication level • Level of intellect • Educational level • Character development

  27. Aggressive Independent high energy action-oriented not concerned with approval speaks out freely gets into confrontational situations Passive Independent low energy not concerned with approval prefers to work alone resists pressure from authority Aggressive Dependent high energy action-oriented concerned with approval rarely expresses negative feelings performs at or above ability Passive Dependent low energy concerned with approval highly sensitive to the feelings of others very compliant A description of Long behavior types

  28. Phobic exaggerated fears of things often feels anxious often sees the negative side doesn’t take risks Compulsive highly organized neat, methodical worker perfectionist strongly motivated to finish tasks Impulsive explosive quick-tempered acts without thinking frank short attention span Hysteric dramatic and emotional more social than academic artistic or creative tends to overreact A description of Long behavior traits

  39. Student Ratings

  40. A decision rule based on student evaluation responses and the probability of faculty receiving an overall rating of Excellent If... Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor Facilitation of learning Communication of ideas Then... The probability of an overall rating of Excellent = .93 & The probability of an overall rating of Fair or Poor =.00

  41. A comparison of excellent ratings by college unadjusted and adjusted for instructors satisfying Rule 1 Overall If Rule 1 College % Excellent % Excellent Arts & Sciences41.6 92.4 Business 34.9 90.9 Education 56.8 94.8 Engineering 36.2 91.3 H&PA 46.1 93.9 (N=441,758) (N=147,544)
