Learning retention in online versus F2F instruction

International Journal of Management in Education (IJMIE), Vol. 1, No. 1/2, 2007

Abstract: This research explores the long-term effect of online learning by evaluating learning achievement in a subsequent, related course. A prior study indicated online learning was inferior to face-to-face learning. This study expands that research by following the same students, both online and face-to-face, from the prerequisite class through a subsequent course. The results indicate that if online instruction is inferior to face-to-face in learning complex content, reduced learning achievement does not have an adverse effect on learning achievement in a related, subsequent course. The results of this research are an important step towards understanding the long-term impact of online learning.
