Predictors of success in courses of varying modality
Conference Tracks
Assessment and SoTL - Research
Abstract
Relatively little information exists on how course teaching modality affects academic performance. There is a broad discussion of the effects of online education, but much of the literature on its effects (vs. more traditional course delivery) is anecdotal or disciple-specific. The specific aim of this project is to better understand what effect, if any, that course modality has on students’ academic performance, both overall and (as data warrant) in specific courses. In addition, we will seek to identify specific student clusters, so that we might better understand which particular groups of students are better suited to particular modalities.
