A Professor Divides His Class in Two to Test Value of On-Line Instruction.

McCollum, Kelly

Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n24 pA23 Feb 21 1997

A California State University, Northridge mathematics professor divided a statistics class, teaching one group traditionally in class and another in an online version of the course, using a World Wide Web site, electronic mail, and an electronic chat room. On both midterm and final exams, the latter group performed significantly better. Despite a heavy workload, all students persisted. (MSE)
