After witnessing a steady decline and increased variability in students' performance in Business Statistics over several years, it was clear there was need for a change in how students were engaged in the course. In this case study, we examine the use of a mix of technologies that were introduced in an attempt to improve student engagement and students' performance in terms of average course mark, grade performance, and failure rate. Learning technologies utilized over time include Facebook groups to create a learning common, live streaming tutorial over YouTube, flipping the classroom, polling software, electronic bulletin boards and interactive learning platforms such as Cengage MindTap. Our findings seem to suggest that the use of technology enhanced learning tools resulted in an improvement in mean course mark, grade performance and failure rate when compared to periods when the teaching method was purely didactic and used the traditional lecturebased methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
