AFTER … A - Any folks from online want to share? A - Thank you for everyone that has joined me online. I’d love to hear any comments that you might have about the first question.
AND THEN … I felt like the online participants actually had an easier time jumping in. It was a little hard for those of us in the room because online questions were often taken first.
METHODOLOGY 20 item survey was designed and tested for face validity (Creswell, 2009) Administered electronically at the close of each of the six sessions. 7 point likert scale and open-ended response items. Open-ended responses were coded and themes identified Two researchers individually reviewed open-ended responses and independently created a set of initial descriptive codes Discussion between the two researchers occurred to develop a final set of invivo codes and operational definitions prior to the second coding pass Data analysis concluded with the discussion between researchers re. themes that emerged
THEME PARTICIPANT RESPONSE “Tend to be isolated” “As an online student, we tend to be isolated from the rest of the community” “Makes some of this difficult” “Being in an online environment makes some of this difficult so ways to allow more inclusivity in this environment is challenging” “One big challenge is establishing an inclusive culture in an online class, due to the lack of synchronous conversations and face-to- face contact.” “Audio was weak” “Presenter audio was weak at times.” “Audio interference; call quality” “I was online and the sound was very poor. What I gained most was connecting to others (widening my community) who work on/care about these issues” “Format is tricky” “The mixed format is tricky ” “The format and time allotted just didn't leave room for much depth - engagement/dialogue.”
THEME PARTICIPANT RESPONSE “Creating Communities” “I think online programs need to work on creating communities . creating a scaffold for connections and community to develop” “Fostering ‘virtual’ communities” “More interaction”, “More dialogue” “ More interaction ” “Less power point, more dialogue .” “More structure” “ More structure , ability to raise hands” “More structured questions/breakout rooms” “Online facilitation" “The moderator for online was fantastic, without her it would not have been a very good online experience.” “I appreciated the online facilitation . Perhaps more people in the room can connect online so that they can share their ideas as well.”
