1999 Study: In 1999, MTSU students were surveyed about their general feelings and beliefs related to instructional technology; their instructors' use of instructional technologies; and the effects of that use on the organization of content covered, their understanding of course materials, their interaction with the instructor and other students, their participation in class, feedback from the instructor, and their satisfaction with the course outcome.  Additional information was gathered on projected future use of instructional technology and demographics. A four-page, four-part questionnaire was the survey instrument used in the study.  It was completed and returned by approximately 8% of the undergraduate students.   The  1999 results of the student survey were presented at the Mid-South Instructional Technology Conference 99 and Syllabus 99. General comments from the students, proceedings paper and a slide show presentation detailing the methods used in the study, the results, and the major findings are available on this site. 2001 Study: In 2000, MTSU students were again surveyed about their perceptions of instructional technology.  The original questionnaire was revised to reflect newer applications of instructional technology (i.e. more web-based applications) and administered using the same methodology.  Eight  percent of the student body completed and returned the survey.  The 2001 results of this follow-up study were presented at the 2001 Mid-South Technology Conference, TN Higher Education IT Symposium 2001, and Syllabus 2001.  General comments from the students, proceedings papers and a slide show presentation detail the methods used in the study, the results, and the major findings.
