The group is updating the Student Survey that is scheduled to be administered before the end of Fall 2020. We are editing the prior survey and adding more questions to be able to find out students’ experiences, challenges, and needs during remote learning in Fall 2020.

Current: Q15 When school resumes (after the pandemic), I would be most interested in enrolling in the following courses (1:first choice, 2: second choice, 3: third choice)

• Online (Students do not meet with the instructor and each other in-person on campus for the entire semester)
• Hybrid (A majority of class meetings are in face-to-face format, the rest of the coursework is conducted online)
• Face-to-face

Proposed Question 2- to follow current Q15

If you enroll in online courses in the future (after the pandemic), what would you be most interested in: (1:first choice, 2: second choice, 3: third choice)

• Fully asynchronous(course never requires students to attend a virtual, live class session via videoconference)
• Combination: Partially asynchronous/partially synchronous(course includes some virtual, live class sessions, but students complete much of the work asynchronously on their own time)
• Fully synchronous (course meets for virtual, live class sessions as frequently as it would have met in a face-to-face modality)

–Replace “includes” with “requires”?

Proposed Q2 to follow new question 16 above.

Based on your experiences with remote learning, how often would you want the synchronous portion of a combination course to meet weekly in future online courses? [synchronous meeting defined as required live virtual zoom/collaborate class sessions]

0 [Fully asynchronous]

25%

50%

75%

100% [Fully synchronous]

 *** Should the word “required” be added?

PENDING: Should current Q10 should be deleted now?

Current Q10 What type of online courses did you like the most?

• Courses that did not require students to log in to their virtual classroom at a specified time (Asynchronous)
• Courses that resembled traditional on-campus college classes in that students must be (virtually) present at the same time (Synchronous)

Proposed Q3 – How did you find your experiences with the library’s Remote Reference Service?

• Very helpful
• Somewhat Helpful
• Not helpful
• Have not used

Q3a Please describe your recommendations and/or challenges with the library’s Remote Reference Service?

Proposed Q4 to follow last questions (before demographics) – What difficulties did you face regarding course materials (textbooks and/or readings) during Fall 2020 (select all that apply)

• Could not access materials on time
• High price for the course materials
• Needed a hard (printed) copy
• Other
• No challenges

Proposed Q5 During Fall 2020, did you have at least one course that offered the materials for free (textbooks and/or readings):

Yes      No

If Yes

5a. Compared to most other courses you have taken; how would you rate access to the materials for this course

• Easier to access
• About the same to access
• More difficult to access
• I do not know

5b. Would you recommend a course using zero-cost materials like those offered in this course to other students?

Yes      No

5c. What were the benefits or challenges of the open/free materials used in this course?
