Paper Abstract:
|
No matter how well designed a course is, students will not learn unless they put a reasonable amount of effort into the
learning process. A problem for many students and educators is in determining exactly what a reasonable amount of
effort is. Many studies have focused on the issue of attendance, documenting a clear link with success. However, in the
age of e-learning new conceptions and measures of participation and effort are required. This paper will present data
comparing measures of student effort with student success on an online course. The findings are discussed in relation to
the possibilities for improving automated feedback mechanisms for students, instructors and advisors. |
