STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF VIRTUAL OFFICE HOURS IN A FACE-TO-FACE UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS COURSE Kathy Michael Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) have transformed significantly over
the past decade, enhancing the communication channels between
students and their teachers. Coupled with compositional change in
the way current students learn and the influence of social media in
an educational setting, Universities are obliged to explore the
integration of effective communication strategies into traditional
face-to-face courses, by enabling flexible course design, creating
an instruction to engage and connect and a means to retain students.
This study explores undergraduate business students’ readiness for
and perceptions on the use of Virtual Office Hours (VOHs) and other
communication mediums in an attempt to facilitate their education. |
