Wednesday, June 18, 2003 Student Preferences for Academic Structure and Content in a Distance Education Setting by Minton & Willett The University of Florida’s Indian River Research and Education Center (IRREC) has been offering on-site and distance education courses in the areas of agribusiness management, horticultural sciences, and agricultural education and communication since 1998. A mail survey of current and potential students at IRREC was recently conducted. The survey focused on preferences for academic content and structure for agricultural programs, as well as explored respondents’ interest in distance education. This research describes the preferences for course content and course structure in addition to the demographic characteristics of those respondents who indicated an interest in distance education. Several significant differences between those who prefer distance education and those who prefer live lecture are discussed. This information will guide IRREC as it strives to better meet student needs. Our findings could assist those in institutions considering expansion of, or the initiation of, distance education activities.
