Title
Commuter vs. residential: LMS perceptions & use on two campuses
Abstract
In this study, we used the same survey described in Paper 1 to specifically explore differences in respondents' attitudes about LMS use and actual experience with a LMS between instructors and students at two campuses of a Midwestern university: a large residential campus and a smaller commuter campus. We also analyzed aggregated log data from the LMS to see if students' system use was consistent with their beliefs. Although there have been some multi-campus studies of LMS (e.g., Harrington et al., 2004), none have focused on the possible differences between residential and commuter institutions. Online technologies have been found to significantly affect the nature of interactions between commuter students and with their instructors (Krause, 2007). The specific research questions we address in this paper are: (1) Do instructors and students at the two campuses differ in their perceptions of different types of interactions supported by LMS? (2) When other factors, such as number of courses using the LMS, are taken into account, do differences between campuses still exist? (3) How does actual LMS use compare to survey attitudes and perceptions?
