A new web-based tool effectively measures student perceptions of interaction quality in online courses. This validated instrument aids in evaluating and improving distance education methods.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Online Learning Evaluation
  • Distance Education Research

Background:

  • Web-based distance instruction is rapidly expanding, necessitating robust evaluation methods.
  • Existing evaluation tools may not adequately capture the nuances of online student interaction.
  • Assessing the quality of student interaction is crucial for improving online course design and delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an interaction-centered evaluation tool for web-based distance education.
  • To create a reliable instrument for measuring student perceptions of interaction quality in online courses.
  • To support the ongoing development and quality assurance of online learning environments.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and faculty interviews to inform item development.
