TTU International Graduate Students Needed for a Study on Online Synchronous Discussion
International graduate students are needed to participate in a study about their perceived experience with online synchronous discussions. The findings of this study will help inform online educators and course designers develop a well-designed online synchronous learning environment to address diverse student learning needs.
For this study, I am looking for international students that meet the following criteria:
- Currently holds F-1 or J-1 visa.
- Pursuing their master’s or doctoral degree at Texas Tech University
- Enrolled in at least one distance education or hybrid course that used Zoom or other web conferencing platforms for class discussions during the current or prior semester
You will be asked to participate in a Zoom interview. This research should only take 45-60 minutes of your time to complete. In addition, you will receive a $15 Amazon gift card as an incentive for your participation.
If you are interested in participating in this study, please email Feliza Mercado (feliza.mercado@ttu.edu). For inquiries and other concerns, you may email the study’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Sungwon Shin (sungwon.shin@ttu.edu).
This study has been approved by Texas Tech University’s Institutional Review Board.
