Online Students Interact More with Course Materials than with Faculty - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

In a typical online course, students are more likely to interact with course materials — 52 percent of the time — than they are with faculty (23 percent), other students (22 percent) or staff (3 percent). According to a recent survey from Quality Matters and Eduventures Research, the research division of ACT/NRCCUA, time with materials is less prevalent in online classes at regional private colleges (46 percent) compared to four-year publics (53 percent) or community colleges (58 percent). The third annual "Changing Landscape of Online Education " (CHLOE 3) report surveyed 280 chief online officers (COOs) (up from 182 last year) at U.S. colleges and universities about policies, practices and plans around online education. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2019/03/26/survey-online-students-interact-more-with-course-materials-than-faculty.aspx
