> Hey folks,

> My good friend is writing her Master's thesis on women and online
> (Web-based) education. Have any of you taken any online courses, or
> worked on creating any online training material? If so, it would
> really help her research to be able to ask you some questions. Here's
> a description of her thesis:
>
> "It doesn't have a title yet. That will probably reveal itself after
> I collect some data. I do have a purpose statement though. "The
> purpose of
> this study is to understand the educational experiences of women
> students
> of online courses."
> It's a qualitative phenomenological study. That means that it will be
> richly descriptive and attempt to explain what it's like to take an
> online
> course from the perspective of women."

> If you have any questions, or would like to help out, you can ask me,
