| Abstract: | The purpose of the present study was to examine higher education undergraduate student, graduate student, and instructor preferences and satisfaction for various modes of course delivery. Instructors and students in a College of Education who had participated in courses using face-to-face, video-conferencing (Zoom), online, and hybrid deliveries were asked to complete an online survey. Face-to-face and online courses were the most preferred delivery modes. Not surprising, participants indicated the most satisfaction with face-to-face courses; but of the distance delivery modes, participants were least satisfied with online courses. When considering the enrollment trends of higher education and the long-term impact of COVID-19, declines in campus enrollment and increases in distance enrollment, Zoom and hybrid course deliveries may be the mode of distance education for the future. |
