Abstract
Student perceptions were investigated toward their experience of learning online in a web-based graduate social policy course. Overall, student perceptions were positive toward the online features of this course with the most useful features being the PowerPoint lecture notes and the Discussion Board. Students were more satisfied with their interactions with the instructor than with the other students. A majority of the students reported they would take another online course and would also recommend this specific course to other students. Female students were more likely to ask for technical assistance. Students enjoyed learning as much through the virtual classroom as a traditional on-campus section of the course.
