technologically experienced faculty Qualitative study

interviews indicated– More than half of the faculty indicated student-student

interaction remained the same after web-enhancements added– Half of the respondents indicated faculty-student interaction

remained the same– Several faculty indicated there was an increased comfort level of

the students• Positively influenced student engagement and learning in the

class
