Measuring Success: Examining Achievement and Perceptions of Online Advanced Placement Students
Johnston, Sharon; Barbour, Michael K.
American Journal of Distance Education, v27 n1 p16-28 2013
The purpose of the research was to compare student performance on Advanced Placement (AP) exams from 2009 to 2011 at Florida Virtual School and to explore student perceptions of their online course experience compared with the classroom-based AP experiences. The data indicated that students performed at levels comparable to the national sample but higher compared with other Florida students. The data also showed that students perceived benefits to both their online and classroom AP courses. Both these findings lend credibility to the delivery of AP in an online format but also indicate that the design, delivery, and support of the instruction was paramount regardless of delivery model. (Contains 7 tables.)
