Abstract
Because of the method(s) of communication in a particular class, gender and cultural differences can lead to a different mix of voluntary communication in the online or blended class setting from that of a traditional classroom. Given the hybrid nature of courses taught by the School of Information at the University of South Florida, a comparison can be made among the same students in class using different methods of class communication. Comparisons between graduate, undergraduate and student-athletes in School of Information courses can also be made. This paper examines the differences experienced by students of varying cultural backgrounds in their willingness to participate in class discussion depending upon the type or types of communication media used and will discuss the implications for effective course design.
