A Study of Student Attitudes and Performance in an Online Introductory Business Statistics Class
- Share to:
Due to economic constraints, more and more distance education courses are being offered at universities (Phipps & Merisotis, 1999). The success of students in the online setting is of importance to accrediting bodies and the administrations of universities as well as to teaching faculty (Eaton, 2001). This study provides evidence that learning outcomes for online students and traditionally taught students are not different for an introductory business statistics course. In addition, students in the online environment showed improvement in their attitudes toward statistics after instruction.
