Sample Post-test Survey Questions: 

Some questions were based on a five-point Likert scale:
 

Strongly agree - Agree - Undecided - Disagree - Strongly Disagree

An advantage of using the computer for coursework is the opportunity to increase my computer skills.

I think my increased computer skills will be useful to me in my personal and professional life.

The WebCT/Blackboard computer communication tools (chat, discussion board, private mail) are effective means for class discussion among students.

Being able to do assignments and to do research by computer requires less travel time.

I spend more time on web based or web enhanced classes than I do in my traditional face-to-face courses.
 

Other questions were non-scalar:
 

Do you have internet access at home?

Have you used WebCT/Blackboard before?

Do you consider yourself a "computer literate" person?

Did you experience problems using WebCT/Blackboard?
