• Online v. face to face learning: the student perspective

  • This questionaire is part of a small research study undertaken by Drs Miriam Gill and Lucy Faire in their role as Directors of Leicester Vaughan College. 

    The aim of the project is to understand how the last couple of years have changed people's experience of lifelong learning as a result of the shift to online learning.  We want to gain a greater understanding of what face to face education can offer adult learners going forward into the future. We also want to learn more about what tutors feel face to face teaching offers students in comparison with online teaching.

    The survey will be entirely anonymous and consists of 17 questions. It is aimed at adult learners who undertook an online module or course (of any kind) during the period March 2020-March 2022.  It will take a minimum of ten minutes to complete. Some questions have multiple choice answers while other questions offer space for a more detailed response. You can answer as many or as few of the questions as you like.  The results of the survey will be used in conference papers and journal articles. 

    The survey data will be retained for up to two years and only the named researchers will have access to the survey data itself.  There are no known or anticipated risks to you as a participant in this study.

    By filling in this survey you indicate that you understand its purpose and consent to the use of the data as indicated above.
