| Abstract | Over the past decade, online classes have become extensively utilized by higher education. Recent literature found, when focusing on upper level courses and four-year college students, that online classes are as effective as face-to-face classes in serving the curricular needs of students. This study sought to enrich research by examining community college students with a further study of student characteristics (age, gender, basic skills, ethnicity, low-income) to see if they contributed to the students’ grades in each delivery method. A faculty survey was used to investigate other possible influences on success. No significant differences were found for the pass/fail comparisons or in faculty choices for communication with students. However, objective measures did show that students achieved increasing numbers of A and F grades in online classes. |
