Irani, Tracy; Telg, Ricky

Journal of Applied Communications, v86 n2 p45-55 2002

Of 31 higher education students in distance courses, 46% were in their first distance experience; 74% used WebCT but 77% preferred interactive videoconferencing. Those with previous experience rated their comfort lower, and a majority would engage in technology training if necessary. (Contains 22 references.) (JOW)
