Differences in Attitudes between On-Site and Distant-Site Students in Group Teleconference Courses

Michael Bisciglia and Elizabeth Monk-Turner

Abstract
This study showed that students who attend class off campus and who work full time generally have a more positive attitude toward distance education when compared to others. Distant-site students are also more likely to be motivated and willing to take another distance education class compared to their on-site peers. Off-site students were much more likely than on-site students to feel the grading process was not a fair one. This work supports that of others in finding female students are in a majority in this learning environment (as are female faculty).
