Student attitudes toward the use of hypermedia instruction and web support in control education - a comparative study

This paper summarizes the authors' experiences in using hypermedia instruction and web support to teach an undergraduate control-engineering course. Surveys conducted in the course show that students overwhelmingly approved of all aspects of technology-enhanced teaching and expressed their preference for hypermedia-assisted instruction. However, the vast majority of students also strongly indicated that technology should supplement, and not replace, personal interactions.
