Abstract
This action based research attempted to address the lack of research focusing on students’ perceptions of synchronous and asynchronous modes of instructional and information delivery in an e-learning environment. Two instructors from Ashland University’s college of education designed a mixed methods approach utilizing quantitative responses and narrative reflections to investigate students’ expectations and needs as a learner in an e-learning environment. Participants were graduate and undergraduate students from the college of education taking a web-based educational technology integration course. The results ascertained a significantly positively correlation between student expectations, instructor and peer interactions, and the learning community.
