Whitworth, Joan (1998, April).  Looking at Distance Learning Through Both Ends of the
Camera. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the National Association for Research 
in Science Teaching, San Diego, California.

The goal of this investigation was to chronicle the experiences of an instructor 
and her students as they first experience a course delivered at a distance utilizing 
various technologies.  Both the instructor and the students had no experience
with e-mail, use of the Internet, and the supporting software.  A major conclusion 
was that distance learning is not easy and involves hard work and commitment
on the part of both the instructor and the students.

Wilson, Brenda (1990, November).  Students Assessment of Distance Learning. Paper 
presented at the annual meeting of the Midsouth Educational Researcher Convention, 
New Orleans, Louisiana.

The focus of this paper was the assessment of students initial perception of 
distance learning.  The 75 distance learning participants, sponsored by the 
University of Alabama at Birmingham, were administered a survey to determine:
(1) the basis for enrolling in the course and their willingness to recommend the 
course to others; (2) comparison to college level work; (3) presentation of the 
course material; (4) the helpfulness of the teacher assigned to the actual 
classroom; and (5) self-concept as related to actual performance.  The major 
conclusion was that the students initial perception of the use of the distance 
learning model appear to be generally positive, indicating that increased usage 
might be encouraged.
