Response 1 No comment
Response 2 Great facilitator
Response 3 I can study at my own pace anytime even in the middle of the night or wee hours in the morning.
Response 4
Response 5 The convenience of being able to get credit for a course that was not offered at my local community college. I also liked that I could do it on my own time with out having to commute from campus to home.
Response 6 the professor was very active in class discussions
Response 7 I like the freedom of being able to do my work at my own pace and on my own time.
Response 8 I like the flexibility of online courses the most, because it allows me to work when I am going to be the most focused and productive.
Response 9
Response 10
Response 11 Convenience.
Response 12
Response 13
Response 14 The flexibility of having the course available at my disposal 24/7.
Response 15 Flexibility and freedom to juggle 3 jobs, and a family life. Being able to stay off the roads, saving time, money, and gas!
Response 16
Response 17 I could go at my own pace and I enjoyed the subject.
Response 18
Response 19 VERY ORGANIZED
Response 20 I loved the fact that I could work at my own pace.
Response 21 Powerpoint videos that discussed chapters.
Response 22
Response 23 The conveniency!
Response 24 Being able to learn at my pace and on my schedule. The video lectures are excellent. Being able to pause, rewind and review is definitely a superior method for learning. They are also efficient for the instructor; to be able to reuse their lectures and edit if needed. Podcasts also do not require any classroom resources. Questions are easily addressed and answered via email. Education with Laulima, or WebCT, along with podcasts, are the most effective and efficient way to learn, and should be available as the standard teaching method, not just available as an alternative because of distance.
Response 25
Response 26 Having more time to do homework, at your own pace, can do work at home which is more comfortable
Response 27 Schedule flexibility
Response 28 The best thing about distance education is that it gave me the opportunity to work on school according to my schedule.
Response 29 convenience
Response 30 Very convenient.
Response 31 What I really like most is that i can do my assingments on my own time and just turn it in when it is required. This class covers everything on Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. There are a lot of applications that i learned from taking this class. I wish i have a lot of time to play around with the applications.
Response 32 flexible time, sometimes the only time I have to work on classes is after 10pm until 5am. Sometimes when I can't do work for several days I try to do and submit work one week in advance. I love it!!!!
Response 33 Ability to set my pace and study at my time and pace.
Response 34
Response 35 I really like how convenient that distance education is. I get to work at my own pace on my time in the comfort of my own home. It really is a great way to learn.
Response 36 i liked that my instructor was always available to ask questions via e-mail or discussion tool on laulima. The test, tasks, assignments, etc. were clearly listed and was available when scheduled. all other materials were well organized and easy to understand in laulima.
Response 37 it taught me to be more independent.
Response 38 convenience
Response 39
Response 40
Response 41 Convenience,the organized structure, and the quick response to questions by teachers.
Response 42 I loved the variety of ways the information was presented (lots of multi media and encouragement to use multi media in portfolios, etc). I also like the PIC (participation in class) points where you applied what we learned to a post so we didn't just read and take tests, but actually applied our knowledge. I think lecturing over information I read is redundant, and as I'm more visual, with auditory my LEAST strong skill, listening to a lecture does not work well for me. This class fit my learning style well and gave me opportunity to excel. I got what I put in. And with real-life application, not just to get a grade. Well thought-out and interesting class.
Response 43 The teacher was organized and helpful.
Response 44
Response 45

Response 59 It was very convenient and fast process to complete the work.
Response 60 I was able to complete tests and assignments on my own time.
Response 61 I favor internet courses over in class mostly because of my schedule. I also like learning through peer and teacher interaction, which is usually possible through discussions and forums, but not in this course's case.
Response 62
Response 63 Convenient, if I missed a show (or sometimes deleted off ddr accidently) I could just watch podd casts on the site very little work between classes ample time to study for tests and quizes grade results instant so we know how we are doing on a constant basis and know what we need to fix or work harder on. was easyer than I thought or heard it would be.
Response 64 I enjoyed the flexibility. Mr. Walker was really good about answering questions and getting back to me when I needed help. This is not always so with my experience with online classes.
Response 65 I find that distance education had accommodated around my busy schedule--full-time job and home tasks for me to complete my college major requirements in a timely manner. Power Point presentations and sample quizzes were helpful.
Response 66 I didn't have to go to class!!! :)

Response 79 I loved the fact that the instructor had posted all the forums and assignments ahead of time. That gave me time to work on my assignments and turn them in ahead of the date it was actually due. It really worked for me because I had a death in the family and needed one week off of school but due to the assignment links and forum links being posted ahead of time I was able to double up on my assignments and turn them in with out it being late and I was also able to attend the funeral with out missing school.
Response 80 It is very open to times and schedules, so people who work or have families are able to still do the work in a timely manner.
Response 81 It is very useful for me.
Response 82 Didn't need to deal with parking problem and working on your own time within limits of due dates.
Response 83 Convenience; learning on my own time and no travel.
Response 84
Response 85 Professors are really good about replying to e-mail questions and comments. I can schedle assignments around my work/family schedule. I can watch podcasts and do assignments late at night when the house is quiet. I like having podcasts where I can replay lectures, esp. when Professors speak really fast. Don't have to deal w/ parking at LCC, especially w/ mid-morning classes.
Response 86 Although the work was pretty much rushed for us to finish, the material were interesting. I also liked the projects the professor had us create.

Response 125
Response 126
Response 127 freedom to "attend" class at my leisure
Response 128
Response 129 It is easier for me because I have a daughter to take care of.

It is just that, when you take class with lots of reading it gets kind of hard to read around 100 pages in one week.

Response 216 It was very easy to navigate laulima and the classes made my life easier to balance since all my work could be done at home on my own time.
Response 217
Response 218 The fact that there is no standard for delivering courses. There needs to be a bare bones system that all professors follow. Such as some professors provide video lectures, which are great but others simply post assignment and test dates and then you're on your own to learn the material. I expect to be on my own to some degree but since I am learning completely new things alittle guidance from someone more experienced is nice. Also even tho I can read the book, it helps to hear something in someone elses words who has experience in the topic to enforce and clarify what I am reading on my own.

Response 261 I like being able to stay home or out at the library to do my assignments, the fact that it's convenient for me to do it when I have the time.

Response 265 I can set my own hours for studying, coursework and tests/exams.

Response 299 Work at your own pace.

Response 466 I loved the online exams! My schedule is so crazy & to be able to take schooling online with the convienence of online exams & quizzes really help when you're busy. I used to take some courses at Honolulu Community College and we always had to go in for exams or quizzes, which when you think about it isn't really "distance edu" because you're going to campus all the time. But with LCC, it was so much easier & actually fun for me.
Response 467
Response 468 I liked the fact that in some classes you were able to study at your own pace. I like that you can print out PPTs to study from, etc. I wish that more instructors, although not a distance education course, would utilize Laulima to post discussion, or PPTs discussed in class so that the student can refer back to it and study from it. One teacher also would tape his lectures and post it on university itunes for students to go back and review via Laulima (although doesn't partain to distance ed. I think that would be helpful in regular class setting). I like the fact that you have everything at your finger tips, but wish that there was an option (but don't know if they even have that yet) if the textbook could be purchased in the form of an ebook and could be viewed on the site as well.

Response 481 That i was able to work ahead at my own pace...you never know what the following day will bring so i usually work ahead so that if i do not have time to work on homework i know that i am ahead of the game and that assignment is done.
