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 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 76 | |
Response 77 | Very time effective. Laulima really helps. |
Response 78 | |
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. |

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 123 | It's an independent experience yet the teachers have been really good about keeping communication doors open. |
Response 124 | In the initial beginning of the semester I'm somewhat anxious and nervous about meeting deadlines, but I'm able to work it out with the instructor who seems to be lenient during that time:) |
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. The time given between each assignment was also very good to work with because they give a descent amount of time to get the work done. 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 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 299 | Work at your own pace. |
Response 300 | I don't have to go to campus. There are certain classes that are requirements for general education that I don't feel is truly necessary; therefore, I rather take these classes online, if possible, and take my major courses in person at UH-Manoa. |

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. I like to usually be 2 weeks ahead just in case something happens out of my control. like computer dies or have to take an emergency trip home to the mainland of parent health... |
