- W56451378 abstract "The University of Florida’s Indian River Research and Education Center (IRREC) has been offering on-site and distance education courses in the areas of agribusiness management, horticultural sciences, and agricultural education and communication since 1998. A mail survey of current and potential students at IRREC was recently conducted. The survey focused on preferences for academic content and structure for agricultural programs, as well as explored respondents’ interest in distance education. This research describes the preferences for course content and course structure in addition to the demographic characteristics of those respondents who indicated an interest in distance education. Several significant differences between those who prefer distance education and those who prefer live lecture are discussed. This information will guide IRREC as it strives to better meet student needs. Our findings could assist those in institutions considering expansion of, or the initiation of, distance education activities. Introduction Higher education in America has always been characterized by frequent change. In its early years, the system was made up of small, private colleges for the well-to-do (Telg & Cheek, 1998). Over time, public-supported universities arose to provide education to all economic groups. The need for higher education continues to grow with the expanding population of the United States, and change in structure is inherent with this growth (Telg & Cheek, 1998). Distance education, a developing educational delivery system, is an alternative to traditional classroom teaching. Telg and Cheek (1998) defined distance education as two-way communication between teacher and student(s) who are separated by a geographical distance and/or time, where the communication is mediated by technology to support the educational process. Distance education is intended primarily to meet the educational needs of students prevented by work or family obligations from attending classes at traditional campus locations or class times. Miller (1997) indicated that distance education in agriculture continues to gain in popularity. However, minimal information exists about the characteristics of the students who enroll in these programs. Miller also suggested that distance students prefer to control the pace of their learning and prefer independent study. They also have less need for structured learning experiences and interaction with the professor or other students." @default.
