dc.description.abstract | Relying on textbased instruction may be disenfranchising many students, whilst technology
enhanced environments can provide significant advantages to a growing market of nontraditional
learners. This paper reports on research investigating the perceptions of first year distance
education students studying a foundation communications course using a multimodal learning
environment. It demonstrates higher levels of engagement are possible when a neomillennial
learning approach is adopted for designing course materials catering to a diverse student body,
whilst maintaining a balanced environment for more traditional learners. A strong acceptance was
moderated by a desire to still receive some printbased materials. However, students reported a
preference to receive an electronic version when given a choice. | |
