Abstract

As distance learning (DL) delivery systems become more popular, institutions must make decisions about the extent to which face-to face (FTF) courses and degree programs can and should be replaced by DL. To begin examining the implications of removing the variable of choice and offering DL-only programs, this study gathered data on factors that motivate community college and virtual high school students to choose online or traditional course formats. Findings indicatt that, for students who chose DL, control over pace and timing of learning was more important; for students who chose FTF courses, interaction with instructor and students was paramount.
