[Air-l] Question about computer/Internet surveys/experiments in a class

[Bunz, Ulla K]

Moses, 
Smith, Caputi and Rawstorne (2000) have published a scale that I think you
can use or adapt easily to your purposes. The scale looks at how students
learn with computers, how they evaluate that experience, their attitudes
toward email use in the classroom and their perception of the usefulness of
that medium, etc. 

Also, if I remember correctly, Michele Jackson is doing something similar to
your project with Computer Science students right now. I'm reluctant to give
out her email address over the list here, but you can find her website when
you look for her under faculty members in the Communication department at
the University of Colorado, at Boulder. 

Finally, I suspect you have your course all planned out already, but if you
are interested, please feel free to check out my syllabus for "Effective
Internet Communication," a very applied short-course, at
http://www.people.ku.edu/~ulla/teaching.html

Good luck, I'd love to hear what you find out,
ulla

Subject:	[Air-l] Question about computer/Internet surveys/experiments
in a class

What I was thinking to do in parallel with this course is some survey or
experiment which would investigate the students' perceptions about
computers and the Internet in terms of whatever they're doing (course
work, soliciting or providing technical assistance, social involvement,
relations, cultural preferences, political engagement etc.).
