In fall 1997, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (UWW) provided Science and Technology in Society, a university general studies science literacy course, to advanced placement high school students at three local high schools, using a combination of live video presentations and World Wide Web (WWW) courseware. A total of 26 high school students registered for the course. The instructors met the students personally at the beginning of the semester. At this time, they administered a learning style inventory, and a survey covering demographics, reading and television preferences, computer experience, and academic course work and interests. A pretest of course content was also given. Results of a comparison of grade point averages (GPAs) for traditional and distance education sections of the class were as follows: university students, traditional delivery--2.39 GPA; university students, WWW exercises--2.13 GPA; high school students, WWW exercises/on-site lectures--2.69 GPA; high school students, WWW exercises/video lectures--2.20 GPA. It was concluded that the combined audio/visual and WWW delivery of course content to high school students for college credit is an effective teaching strategy, in spite of some barriers due to bugs in TopClass, the selected WWW course delivery system.
