This chapter describes the experiences of students in the 2011 and 2013 Master of Arts in Interpreting Studies at Western Oregon University with an online graduate program. By means of a survey of both cohorts, the authors try to better understand the ways in which technology fosters or hinders student participation and collaboration. The respondents of this study see technology as a mixed blessing: both a cause of frustration and a valued tool for collaborating, fostering participation, and interacting with each other.
