• Abstract:
  Incorporating technology through online courses, including driver’s education (DE), is the wave of the future for ; learning. While many states allow online DE as an accepted method of learning, Wisconsin currently only allows it on a ; limited basis. This two-phase study sought to provide information on the use/effectiveness of Internet DE as an ; alternative to traditional DE. ; Secondary research was conducted to collect/analyze information from states that have gone through this process ; previously. Telephone interviews were then conducted to supplement where information was limited or unavailable. ; Specific respondent types included: ; • DE program coordinators from other states offering online DE (7 interviewed) ; • Online/Traditional DE instructors (34 interviewed) ; • Previous Wisconsin DE students, both online and classroom (102 interviewed) ; The perceived benefits, specifically convenience and flexibility, make this option very attractive to young drivers who ; are adept at using the computer as a learning tool. Security, material comprehension and motivation are seen as key ; barriers states need to overcome.
