REFAD research online survey

As part of the research on the theme "Do new learning tools really encourage student performance and success?" »Conducted this year by Jean Loisier for the Francophone Distance Learning Network of Canada (REFAD), a survey was prepared and posted online to find out the perceptions of certain practitioners in FAD.

The thesis, which will be submitted online next March, will attempt, among other things, to give a realistic portrait of the use of new learning tools within the framework of mediated (online) or distance training, at all levels of education (primary, secondary, post-secondary, university). Particular attention will be paid to Canadian experiences. However, we wish to enrich our corpus of experiences conducted throughout the international Francophonie.

The survey is aimed specifically at people who work directly with students at the academic level, in mediated education and in distance training, in particular professors, teachers, lecturers, tutors, supervisors and correctors.

It breaks down into 4 steps. After having determined the nature and extent of the respondent's experience in step 1, we analyze the communication practices observed by the respondent in step 2. Then, in step 3, we analyze the modalities of performance evaluation of students in mediated education and distance learning. In step 4, the respondent is asked to determine the adequacy of recent technological tools to the expectations of the students and which can encourage their success.

All the questions are not obligatory, the time envisaged to answer this survey varies between 10 and 15 minutes.

This survey is online at the following address: http://www.sondageonline.com/survey/survey.php?code=40d9a9a

It will remain accessible online (permanently) until Friday, January 21, 2011.
