Abstract

This paper presents preliminary findings from a two-semester study on the effects of online learning on student perceptions of self-change as well as the impact of online learning environments on student attitudes concerning their learning experiences. There have been several studies that examined distance learning courses versus traditional formats and found no significant differences in grade point averages of students in either format (The Institute for Higher Education Policy, 1999). Overall ratings of courses by students who complete online courses are equal or higher than those for traditional courses (Hiltz, 1997). There have been few studies, however, that examined other components of the learning process such as changes in perceptions and attitudes.
