This is the size of survey education researchers should be aiming for, though I would still urge them to consider surveying non-students and aspiring students as well, in order to understand the barriers. And developers of online learning, at least in Britain, should be happy with the result that "nearly seven-in-ten students surveyed rate the quality of online and digital learning as either 'best imaginable', 'excellent', or 'good' (68% of both FE and HE students)." There was similar praise for online learning support.The research (12 page PDF and another 12 page PDF) also looks at how things could be improved, and the results aren't surprising: get the basics right, make learning more interactive, provide recordings of events, you know, the usual.
