Abstract

This paper reports the results of a case study on college students' perception of their online learning experience. Statistical analysis reveals different perceptions between native English speakers and Asian students, whereas gender and prior online experience do not affect student perception. The results of this study reveal different rating patterns that could bias the assessment of learning effectiveness when educators continue to resort to aggregate measures. We suggest further studies to measure the cultural influence on student ratings and to devise a method to adjust for this difference.
