ABSTRACT
A campus-wide electronic learning environment (based on WebCT) has been integrated recently into teaching practice at Coventry University. This chapter reviews the student perspective of using the online resources, drawing on the experience of 270 students studying a variety of subject disciplines. We focus on whether the lecturer’s perception of the pedagogic validity of specific learning resources is matched by student feedback. In particular we attempt to identify the positive and negative factors that affect students’ engagement with the electronic learning environment. We use these, within a theoretical framework, to produce a set of guidelines that we hope will assist other teachers who are attempting to harness ICT to promote student learning.
