Enhancing Interactivity in Web-based Instruction in Accordance with Institute of Technology Students’ Satisfaction Reaction toward E-Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand in deep about the faced hardness, level of acceptance, and satisfaction reaction for those students at Institute of Technology who were completed WBI courses and focus for the improvement of interactivity instruction in the future for WBI courses. The population for the study was all Institute of Technology students. The instrument used to collect data was designed by a group of students who took “Internet” class of researcher. The total response numbers for this study which was posted on GAIS searching engine (http://gais.cs.ccu.edu.tw/) are 64, in them had 89﹪people understood distance learning, and only 11% people did not recognize distance learning. Surveyed students used WBI is around 42%. Concerning with the resources of WBI, the results shown that 74﹪students did not think the resources are plenty. There is no significant distinguish between effect of WBI (54﹪) and traditional instruction (46%). Students understood course contents was achieved high to 69%, and proposed more questions under WBI than traditional classes. The highest percentage for students who disliked the WBI is “learned nothing” (40%). Level of satisfaction is not so significant, since the no opinion response is 64%. The results shown that spent hours on Internet weekly more than 15 hours is 59%, however, most students only spent 0 - 2 hours on WBI website. In the future, except to discern students' purpose on learning by using WBI, teachers also need to very careful to examine the addressed contents, interactivity, and quick responses from students toward WBI.
