In collaboration with the Dewar College of Education and Human Services, a survey was distributed in April 2015 to all fully online students attending Valdosta State University (VSU) during the Spring 2015 term. Coordination of this survey, including distribution and benchmark development, was conducted by Eduventures (http://www.eduventures.com). Approximately 27,000 students completed the survey from numerous institutions across the country of which 267 respondents were attending VSU (0.97%). Thus, out of the 1,769 students who were fully online and enrolled Spring 2015 at VSU, 15.1% participated in this survey.
