Three-Quarters of College Students Call Online Classes ‘Unengaging,’ Miss Campus Interactions – Campus Technology

In an April survey done by education technology vendor Top Hat, a quarter of college students said they’re undecided about whether or not to continue their education in the fall. The survey found that 26 percent of students are re-evaluating their intentions of returning to school. Nearly seven in 10 (68 percent) consider the online instruction they’re receiving right now worse than what they got in person; half said they were spending less time on their coursework.

What are the problems? Three-quarters (78 percent) called their online class experience “unengaging,” and a similar share (75 percent) reported missing face-to-face interactions with others on campus.

The survey was done among 3,089 college and university students at all grade levels in North America. Top Hat software lets instructors add more active learning functionality to courses delivered virtually, in blended format or in-person. The software provides for streaming lectures; the addition of interactivity to textbook content; slide presentations; embedding of formative and summative assessments, polls, quizzes and discussions; and administration of proctored tests, among other features.
