The purpose of the study is to investigate student perceptions of course content based on online, traditional and blended course delivery methods. Students enrolled in the courses were exposed to various delivery methods. Survey questions addressed contact between students and instructor, active learning, instructor feedback, time on task, communication of expectations, and ability to address diverse learning styles. Results from the survey indicate that delivery methods play a key role in student learning. To increase student productivity and performance instructors need to incorporate a variety of techniques. These techniques of good teaching and learning stem from student perceptions and the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education.
