本文从学生的角度考察了在线学习体验与工作与生活平衡的关系。在为期三年的时间里，研究人员向16门商科研究生课程的302名学生提出了4个开放式讨论问题。210名学生自愿回答了他们对个人在线学习经历的观察和看法，以及这种经历如何影响他们的工作/生活/学校平衡。本文运用内容分析和定性编码的方法，着重于了解学生对在线学习如何影响他们的工作和生活平衡的看法，特别是与实体课堂学习相比。本文的结论是，对于大多数学生来说，在线学习可以增强工作与生活的平衡，特别是与传统的固定时间和地点的课堂学习相比。
This paper examines the online learning experience as related to work-life balance from the student's perspective. Four open-ended discussion questions were asked of 302 students in sixteen graduate business courses, over a three-year period. Two hundred and ten students voluntarily responded with their observations and perceptions of their personal online learning experience and how this experience impacted their work/life/school balance. This paper, using content analysis and qualitative coding, is focused on understanding the student's perception of how online learning impacts their work-life balance, especially as compared to brick-and-mortar classroom learning. This paper concludes that online learning can enhance work-life balance for most students, especially when compared to the alternative of traditional fixed time and place classroom learning.
