Does Delivery Format Make a Difference in Learning about Global and Cultural Understanding?
Rawls, Janita; Hammons, Stacy A.
American Journal of Distance Education, v30 n2 p89-97 2016
This study assessed a learning outcome for nontraditional seniors who were in accelerated degree programs in both online and on-site formats. Using items from the National Survey of Student Engagement, researchers explored engagement with global understanding and cultural awareness. A quantitative, single-case analysis method was used to determine significance with the items. Results indicated 50% of the items were significant, and for all of the significant items, means were higher for the on-site senior group. Implications are explored, including pedagogical ideas for online programs in teaching global and cultural themes.
