My Research

Using qualitative methods and surveys to gather information for feedback, my research involved surveying eight students asking twelve questions to collect information about their individual distance learning experience.   The information gathered from these interviews was used to answer questions on communication, difficulty, and connection and to determine if the students saw a difference in their learning experience when being a distance student versus in a classroom.  I used concepts around media richness theory that I learned in my communication coursework, along with several sources related to distance learning and communication.
