Title: A Small Sample Study of Traditional and On-line Courses with Sample Selection Adjustment
Abstract: This research examines whether MBA students at a regional, comprehensive university taking completely on-line courses learn as much as students taking identical classes in the traditional, face-to-face format. A simple comparison of test scores indicates that the amount of learning is similar in the two formats. However, controlling for other factors, regression analysis shows that outcomes in the on-line environment are inferior to the traditional format.
