Marc Mayerson

Course Web Sites and Student Engagement

...a Statistical Inquiry

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How do course Web sites affect student engagement
with the curriculum? Are there discernable
correlations with educational theories of learning
and engagement? What are the claims and goals of
educational technologists? In this pioneering study,
Dr. Marc Mayerson correlates nationally recognized
standards of student engagement with course Web site
design, content, and experience. Come along with six
UCLA professors as they each use the Internet and
course Web sites in their own unique way. Find out
what students had to say about what they liked and
didn't like. Read the survey results of 600 students
and their engagement with both the Web site and
their studies. Did course Web sites spark more
interest in the subjects? Did they spark more study
time? Did they deliver meaningful content not
available in books and lectures? Do course Web
sites really deliver what their proponents say they
can?
