Description
INTRODUCTION A considerable body of research on distance learning suggests that there is no significant difference in achievement levels between online learners and offline learners (E.G., The Institute for Higher Education Policy (1999), Chamberlin (2001) and Yin et. al. (2002)). However, online learners and offline learners may perform differently due to differences in student perception, available learning tools, use of the learning tools, and other technical issues. (See Barker (2002), Beard et. al. (2002), Dunbar (2004), Kendall (2001), Lightner et. al. (2001), Perreault et. al. (2002), Schulman et. al. (1999), Schwartzman et. al. (2002), and Woods (2002)) Furthermore, many previous studies suggest that student performances can be affected by student characteristics such as gender, age, educational experience, and motivation. (E.G., Sullivan (2001), Younger (1999)) Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine whether there exist any systematic differences in the effects of student characteristics on student performances as measured by test scores between online courses and offline courses.
