Abstract | [Abstract]: Research by Sankey and Kiernan (2006) recently explored the value of multimodal CD-based course materials for first year external university students studying a core communication course. These materials were positively received overall and added significantly to the first year study experience. Since 2006, these materials were also made available to on-campus students. The authors consequently extended the research to include on-campus students and expanded the research instruments to collect more extensive qualitative data. Students also completed a learning styles questionnaire to gauge whether there was any discernable correlation between their perceptions of the multimodal study materials and their preferred approach to learning. Results revealed that students overall preferred the CD-based materials but given a choice also wanted ready access to printed materials. Only 10 percent of students wanted only print. |
