Abstract

There is a great demand for the online delivery system of instruction. It accommodates students who cannot meet on campus due to distance, or their available times to take onsite courses do not coincide with their schedules. It accommodates students with family obligations, and allows for more flexible scheduling for those who maintain employment, while continuing their education. However, not only does online instruction meet the needs of non-traditional students, but on campus traditional students who enroll in onsite courses also take many of their courses online. The major purposes of this research were to identify just who are the consumers of online instruction, as well as to determine whether the learning outcomes of online students are equivalent to the learning outcomes of students who take courses onsite. The results of this research will assist in the assessment of students’ needs in the online environment, and will allow online teachers to determine the best pedagogy for online student success.
