  1. Students, Teachers and Online Teaching Tools in a Highly-Wired Country Moshe Roth EFL Unit Ben-Gurion University Be’er Sheva, Israel

  2. Research Questions • Is there any correlation between the number of online courses a full-time student has in a given semester and his/ her utilization of the online tool? • Do teachers take full advantage of the online tool using all the features it has to offer?

  3. Method: Part One • Two-Part Questionnaire Part One: the students • How many courses are you taking this semester? How many are online? • Do you feel that HighLearn/ Moodle is beneficial to the learning process? Explain. • How often do you logon during the semester? • Do you logon when off campus?

  4. Method: Part One (continued) e) Have you ever used the learning- groups feature? (where students can study together) f) Have you ever contacted the class using the bulletin board or directory? (where messages can be posted or sent)

  5. Method: Part Two • asked students about teachers: a) Are assignments and feedback posted? b) Do your teachers use the various Collaboration tools? i) forums: teachers and students can discuss course-related issues ii) polls

  6. Conclusion: the students (first question) • “high” vs. “low”- not an issue: • Most logon at least once a day. • All but 14 (of 528) logon when off campus. • learning groups, bulletin board, directory features: underused (Facebook used instead??) • Most students feel that HL/ Moodle is beneficial but there is a small group of “nay-sayers.”

  7. Conclusion:the teachers (second question) Teachers do not use the online tool to the max. • Learning forum could be used a bit more. • Hardly anyone conducted a poll. Teacher misuse: • only uploading material/ uploading in the last minute • not explaining in class/ not posting solutions • student can learn without attending • too many sites/ posting in different places • not removing older material/ material not relevant/ disorganized site
