Abstract
This study used quantitative and qualitative data from more than 500 online learners who took secondary, undergraduate, and graduate level online courses during the period 2010 through 2014 and who provided feedback on multiple iterations of those two assessment forms during that period. Data from twelve online course instructors' perceptions were also gathered. Findings include recommendations that instructors of online courses plan discussion board prompts that are narrow in scope, require use of course materials, and are closely monitored by the instructors throughout the posting process. Online quizzes and tests should, whenever possible, allow students immediate access to feedback and results, as such feedback is very well received by students. Various important lessons for online instructors and course planners are shared.
