Satisfaction and usability evaluation of various pedagogical strategies in a hybrid gerontology course
by Goeller, William, M.A., CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, LONG BEACH, 2010, 80 pages; 1486310

Abstract:

This quantitative research design sought to identify students' satisfaction levels and assessment of usability of a number of pedagogical instructional techniques implemented during the course of a semester in a blended-learning class. The research design utilized a questionnaire to collect demographic and other data at the conclusion of the semester. Further, student comments were utilized to either support or not support the quantitative data collected.

The results suggest that many of the strategies employed were supported by previous studies found in the literature, while providing possible solutions to improve the satisfaction and perceived usability in a hybrid higher education course.
