Abstract

This quasi-experimental study compared student performance outcomes between two sections of the same educational research methods class—an online section and a traditional F2F section. Group equivalency was established and the same instructor delivered both versions of the course across multiple semesters. Pre- and post-test measures, exams, projects, and final grades were compared. Findings revealed no statistically significant differences in any of the performance outcomes. This study provided empirical support that the quality of distance education is as effective as on-site learning.
