Students give the same responses on paper as on online course evaluations but are less likely to respond to online surveys, according to a recent study. The study was conducted at Kansas State University’s IDEA Center, a nonprofit group that tries to improve how colleges use course evaluations. It examined data that the center collected from classes at nearly 300 institutions between 2002 and 2008, of which 89.9 percent used paper surveys and 10.1 percent posted surveys online. The study analyzed student ratings data from 271,727 classes that used paper surveys and 13,101 classes that used online surveys.
