I am a doctoral student working on my dissertation at Capella
University in the school of professional studies.

My dissertation is on engagement in the learning process for online
high school students. Specifically I am trying to evaluate what
aspects of course design engage high school students and therefore
lead to more motivated learners and deeper learning.

In simpler terms, what do high school students like \ dislike in their
online classes?

For my research I have developed an online survey for students
complete. The survey is completely anonymous and no personal
information is collected. Students will have the opportunity to take
part in a virtual focus group to finish the data collection process if
they wish to.

I am looking for high school students who are currently taking online
classes ( one or more) and who would be willing to complete this
online survey (10-15 minutes).

You can help by forwarding this email to other educators and or
students and asking them to do the same.

I am looking to survey as diverse a group of students as possible and
trust that the vastness and chaos of the Internet will get this
message out to lots of interested high school students.

Information about the survey and a link to the actual survey can be
found at:

http://www.papertolight.com

Time is of the essence this survey is slated to be open from Feb1,
2008 to Feb 29th, 2008

Thanks for help in spreading the word

If you have question about my research or the survey I can be
contacted at samgladstein@gmail.com

Sounds like there is a HUGE problem with that design: What high school
students like / dislike in their online classes may bear little
resemblance to what is actually effective. You might find that teens
claim to love multimedia, frashy graphics, etc., and yet these could be
the LEAST effective devices in actually learning. Hey, they might claim
to love movies of chimp circus acts, or maybe odd Japanese animations,
but that doesn't mean we should start using them in teaching about
European history or organic chemical reactions.
