world-shaker:

Barbara Zuck, assistant professor of business at Montana State University–Northern, was teaching a 100-level online course in business leadership and wanted to understand her students’ experiences in the course. So at the end of the course she asked students three open-ended questions:

• What three things surprised you most by taking this course in an online learning environment?
• What three things would you change about this course, assuming it were also taught in an online learning environment?
