DL Live Sessions Feedback Survey

Introduction to DL Live Sessions Feedback Survey
We are reviewing how live sessions support your learning as a Distance Learning student and exploring possible new ways to help students connect, study, and prepare for assessments.

This short survey should take around 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help shape future learning and support opportunities for Distance Learning students. It is anonymous.
1.How often do you attend live sessions for your module(s)?
2.Overall, how valuable do you find live sessions to your learning?
3.What do you most like about the current live sessions?
4.Which aspects of live sessions do you find most useful?
5.If you watch recordings of live sessions, how do you use them and how helpful do you find them to your learning?
6.What usually prevents you from attending live sessions?
7.If you do not regularly attend live sessions, what would need to change to make them more useful or accessible for you?
8.Can you describe a particularly useful live session you have attended? What made it effective?
One idea we are exploring is a new type of online Study Group.

Unlike a traditional live teaching session, these would be informal 2.5-hour sessions held once every two weeks at weekends. Students would be able to work alongside other Distance Learning students on their module, ask questions, discuss ideas, prepare for assessments, share study approaches, and receive light-touch support from academic staff.
The focus would be on:
1) Structured study time
2) Discussion
3) Motivation
4) Academic Support rather than teaching new content
9.How likely would you be to attend a session like this?
10.If you could redesign the way students interact with tutors and other students online, what would your ideal approach look like?
11.Would you like to participate in the focus group which would explore the future of live sessions for distance learners?
Focus Group participant information

We will be running a number of student focus groups to better understand student views on the live session. If you would like to volunteer to participate, please add your details below. This will help us contact you when we prepare to run the sessions and ensure that you get all communications relating to the activity.

Your details will only be visible to Your Students' Association and any individuals who would be involved in this project.

All responses to the survey will be anonymised for reporting purposes.
12.What is your First Name, Last Name and email address?
