Longitudinal Student Research Competency: Comparing Online and Traditional Face-to-Face Learning Platforms

Traditional Versus Online Learning in Institutions of Higher Education: Minority Business Students’ Perceptions

“…Respondents in this study indicated that offering more online courses would be highly advantageous to students. These findings are consistent with prior research studies (Brown 2016;Pai, 2013;Neuhauser 2010) that have examined traditional versus online education. The majority of students perceived their online experience as being positive despite multiple problems in the online courses, including lack of instructional materials, poor organization, limited faculty access and poor technological infrastructure.…”

“…According to Oliver (2000), these approaches include the formative, summative, illuminative, integrative, and quality assurance methods. More recently, various authors (Brown, 2016;Neuhauser 2010;Murdock et al 2012;Pai, 2013) have concluded that the performance of the online (distance) students was very similar to that of the on-campus face-to-face students. Katy and Anderson (2006) compared the performance of students enrolled in an online small business management course with the same course that was offered in a traditional, face-to-face mode.…”

“…The offering of online courses/programs coupled with increased enrollment could help reduce the overall cost of education to many institutions. Numerous studies have been published (Brown, 2016;Pai, 2013;Summers, 2005;Clark, 2001) that compare traditional and online programs in majority institutions. Additional research (Fedynich, 2015;John et al, 2015) has also examined students' perceptions about online education.…”

Innovative Strategies for Building Community Among Faculty Who Teach in Virtual Environments

“…Research has focused on the many advantages of online education, particularly with regards to increasing access to individuals with disabilities and those living in hard-to-reach communities (Bryant, Garnham, Tedmanson, & Diamandi, 2015;Reamer, 2013;Stolzer, 2012;Tandy & Meacham, 2009). Overall student satisfaction and learning outcomes are consistent across education delivery types, (i.e., traditional onthe-ground and online; Ayala, 2009;Cappiccie & Desrosiers, 2011;Constantine Brown & Park, 2016;Cummings, Chaffin, & Cockerham, 2015;Hill Jones, 2015;Wretman & Macy, 2016;York, 2008). Challenges associated with online education include difficulties with virtual communication with classmates, inexperience with virtual learning tools, and lack of perceived student-instructor connection (Noble & Russell, 2013;Secret, Bentley, & Kadolph, 2016).…”

Teaching English with Insta.Ling Online Platform: Case Study in Higher Education Level

“…It involves utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) to improve students' academic achievement. Research comparing the effects of digital learning to traditional classroom instruction has yet to show consistent and, significant advantages for digital learning (Brown & Park, 2016;Petko et al, 2017). Some studies report that digital classrooms outperform traditional classrooms also academic (Holcomb, 2009;Mothibi, 2015;Pai, 2013;Suhr et al, 2010), while others report no difference or the reverse (Cuban, 2006;Penuel, 2006;Yi Ni, 2013).…”
